Yeah, I think that's the drawback of making vampires into smoldering romantic heroes - they can't be too gross or nasty or evil. So then they're not even really vampires, you know? But writing a story about a moody teenage girl falling in love with a random perfect immortal doesn't have quite the same draw.
(Well, in my mythos vampires reproduce sexually, but it's difficult for any child to be brought to term, so there aren't many of them. And I kind of went with the whole, they're not actually evil in a soulless Buffy kind of way, but that since they live for so long they lose that connection to real people and basically become evil.)
