No. The "Boy scout" sounds like a doormat, Not only do I not want to be one, I don't want to be with one either.
I'm not a fan of having relationships with people who expect you to intuitively know what they need because they are afraid to lay it all out in fear of being percieved as selfish.
Needs, by definition alone, ARE selfish. And everyone has them. I think denying the importance of those needs to retain a positive image in someone elses eyes is even more selfish. It places image and appearance above happiness. That's never a good thing.
I prefer the one's who are honest and flat out tell you, "Hey, I'm a selfish human being, wanna be selfish with me?"

I object to being called a "doormat".
My refrigerator crisper contains nothing but beer and cigars. There is approximately 15 bottles of various liquors on my "booze shelf", I roll my own cigarettes (because I'm thrifty) and I blew off work one day this week to go to a concert. I often swear like a sailor, regularly download questionable material from the internet, frequently mock those with social and political viewpoints different from my own, I really hate political correctness and "diversity" initatives, and generally skirt the rules and policies of my place of employment on daily basis.
I am an Eagle Scout too. So much for the g-damned "Boy Scout" stereotype.

I married an Eagle Scout :-)
I think that personality type is great. Admittedly I'm biased, since my husband and I are celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary in a few weeks. My sister is also engaged to a wonderful guy who's the Boy Scout type. He's much better for her than her ex, who was more of a bad-boy type.

"Charming, empathetic, loyal, dependable,protective, thoughtful, optimistic, practical, and unlikely to take sides in a conflict,"
He sounds like a nice guy, sure. :)
I'm sure each "boy scout" would vary though. I really dislike the fact that, according to your description, he would not meet up to his own needs. I think that would make me feel as if I were not providing enough happiness for him.
If you understand what I'm saying.

I am a Boy Scout, and no, women don't date boy scout type men, based on the personality description you gave in your other question.
Violinist,
You bet he is a nice guy...which is precisely why women don't date him. Women don't date nice guys. Women date bad boys until they hit menopause, and then it's too late.
