If he's a manly-man who pursues an unexpectedly delicate hobby, it may be a case of RealMenWearPink. Audiences may also sympathize more with the JWAHOG if he's shown to frequently have a good reason to act angry or annoyed. Even the most patient of souls can only endure being the OnlySaneMan when they're SurroundedByIdiots for so long, after all. One or two PetTheDog moments scattered around for character depth does not grant a heart of gold. A true JWAHOG has many PetTheDog moments. Or maybe those moments are rare, but powerful. Either way, ultimately they manage to balance out the jerk in them. If it doesn't balance out, they're just a regular jerkass, or worse, a JerkWithAHeartOfJerk.

Truth in television: Most of the jerks you'll meet in your life will have some redeeming qualities to them.

In a romance series a female character filling this role is usually a {{Tsundere}} instead of a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, (occasionally she's both).
