Have you read any good shoujo or josei titles that depict the male love interest as a physically masculine male in the Western sense (muscular, big, strong), i.e., not as a bishounen or as a nerd? (I love those two categories as well, but I was pleasantly surprised with and very much enjoyed the male lead of Kore wa Koi no Hanashi.)
I'm flexible on personality--I'm just curious to see if there are more shoujo or josei without the typical young pretty boy or nerd love interest.

I'm also looking for manga with that sort of person ^^ But here are some that I think you would like? They may not be muscular or strong, but they aren't really typical shoujo guys.
