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.

Ore Monogatari!!

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.

3 AM Dangerous Zone
Usagi Drop
Matsuri Special
Koi Kaze (this one is heavily about incest though, so I'm sure if you'd be interested in reading it)

I also agree with Ore Monogatari!!

mars
midnight secretary
toraware no minoue
Kemonotachi no Yoru
TEN NO RYUU CHI NO SAKURA
Barairo My Honey
Beast Master
HANA NO NAMAE---> similar story to Kore wa Koi no Hanashi. but slightliy older female.
Planet Ladder

read on mangatraders

Hapi Mari
Red River
Mai, the Psychic Girl
Tail of the Moon Manga

The oneshot Citrus Sweat from the collection Warui Ko no Mikata by HATTA Ayuko fits perfectly 🙂

Ore Monogatari!!

That one is great. Anyone know any more like it? Romance manga where the guy is an old fashion hulking unibrow misunderstood delinquent, lol...

Joou No Hana is a perfect fit

Boku Girl

Punch!

First Love Body but its more comedic than romantic
