He is a guy after all, just a 'choosy' or selective one. I think he has a certain taste in women and if the girl don't fit the bill, he's not into it.
Yeah, I buy that, mostly because of the way today's society is, and TV shows in general do like to show sex whenever they can. I just hope the writers of SGA never reach that point with Sheppard. He gets enough guff as it is just from flirting.
Now - and this may simply be my personal view of him - I don't see him as having a lot of one-night stands. And if he does have one, I can see him (depending on the person, of course) considering wanting to see that person again.
It's hard to explain, but something about Sheppard makes me feel as though he's not a sleep with whoever/whenever type. In other words, he's not looking for someone to sleep with just to be sleeping with someone. There has to be more to it. I guess it's because he's so loyal that it's hard for me to see him as having sex with someone and that be it. Also, when compared to characters in other shows (I mostly use Dean from Supernatural and Tony from NCIS, becuase those two do sleep around like crazy) Sheppard seems pretty in control of his libido.
And he's respectful toward women (as we can see from his interactions with Teyla and Elizabeth). So, yeah, I have no idea why people cling to the idea of him being a womanizer. I think they just want a reason to hate him. Overall, Sheppard may be a flirt, but he's also a pretty decent guy.
