I find that claim bewildering because the partnered men I know aren’t jerks.
That is true. Pretty much every guy I know with a partners is quite decent,
Conversely however, the guys who score one hot chick after another, who don’t have a partner except in the sense that they have half a dozen partners, those guys are jerks, Max Tucker being the infamous example.
I know a guy who is a male model and a thoroughly decent, caring and loving guy, also financially quite well off and highly intelligent. People pay him money to put his face and body on their products. Women often try to pick him up on sight. But after they get to know him a bit, they don’t like him nearly so much. It does look to me that he is far too nice, and could profit from a fair bit of ruthless and cynical brutality towards women. I have put this to him, but he strenuously disagrees. He does not do that well with women, though if I had women hitting on me like he does, I know what I would do.
And while those partnered men are not jerks, they don’t live up to politically correct standards for not being a jerk. Stereotypical women’s work is largely done by their partner. So, yes, unlike Max Tucker, they are decent people, but our standards for a decent male person differs from that standard that one pretends to.
Does the male model have any women he’s spontaneously interested in, or is it all women who choose him more than him especially wanting them?
I don’t know the details of enough households to be sure of the housework distribution. I can think of two where the men definitely weren’t doing it. One ended in divorce (mostly for other reasons), the other seems to be stable. One household where I think it’s pretty equal, but I’m not sure. Statistics back up the idea that husbands typically do less housework than their wives.

He is heterosexual. I don’t know if his relationships started with him hitting on the girl or the girl hitting on him. I have seen quite a few hot chicks hit on him and he brushes them off, or pretends not to notice. With his girlfriends he acts excessively needy, and respectful, as if they are very important to him. I don’t act that needy, even though women never hit on me, and are frequently hitting on him.
I don’t see how he can actually be needy. Girls think he is candy when they first see him. But he acts needy, leaning in to his girlfriend rather than his girlfriend leaning into him. Needy body language, even though girls somehow appear whenever he is around.
