"Men do have a sensitive side. They want to please," said Dr. Helen Fisher, chief scientific adviser for Chemistry.com, in a statement. "But different men do it differently; and these 10 cities are packed with a certain kind of man, what I call 'builders'—men who express a constellation of personality traits linked with the serotonin system in the brain."

Fisher defines "builders" as traditional men with "chivalrous qualities," who value loyalty, duty, respectability and proper moral conduct.
