(My husband disagrees, but hey, he's biased. )
My husband, OTOH, has a great deal in common with Shep. He's an Air Force officer and good at what he does, but he also has a tendency to mouth off when he feels he has to, even to superiors, and yeah...I guess you can say he's sort of cocky. Add to that the fact that because of him I spend a lot of time around military types, some of whom are very similar to him--even the women--and I suppose you have the reason why Shep is my favorite character. Because I may not identify with him, but I feel like I know people who are like him in real life, and thus, it's easy for me to see *them* in his approach to things and his reactions.
Also, not sure what you've got against studmuffins. Once you peel back the cocky outside, they're usually kind of sweet and marshmallowy on the inside.
