I love guys who know their stuff and love their stuff and/or are confident about their stuff. Nothing like confidence.
* Like the Yemenite guys at a nearby falafel store. They are so proud of their zalabia, pita, and other types of bread and dips that is part of their culture. When my sister goes to buy some, they make sure she knows just how to dip it, how it ought to be eaten by hand, and all its various details even to the point of giving samples!
* Like the sephardi guys at another nearby baguette store who my husband and I called a while back. We were concerned that they maybe added MSG in their food.
"MSG? What is that?"
We explained what that was. A flavor enhancer.
The guy got so offended, "What are you saying about my food??!! Why would we need a flavor enhancer?!!!"
* Or the cabby that took one look at my sister and I (who came in his cab with the kids) and boldly exclaimed, "I'm swear! You are beautiful!!!"
* Then there's the other cabby who, once when I took his cab hauling all the kids and it was towards the end of the day, admonished me, "Woman! your children are tired. They NEED to be in bed!"
Sometimes, people are quite loveable. Have a great weekend all!

Assertive but "lovable." Do guys typically behave this way in Israel, or just a few?
That is so lovely!
