You're right about Jayne saying what he thinks, but there's another issue. Jayne is a violent man, with a violent past. I'm not saying he'd ever hurt River, but he's killed a lot of people and he's pretty much okay with that. Heck, he's proud of quite a few of those kills. Is River really going to like a guy who thinks like that all the time? I think she's had more than her fill of violent thoughts.

Jayne is a violent man, but I don't think he spends any time contemplating violence...
I don't think he spends anytime contemplating anything at all...
and River has her own violence permanently in her head...being with someone who doesn't think many thoughts at all would be like a vacation.

But as far as liking goes...sometimes we end up liking who is available.
17 and never been kissed, and the only men available, out in the black are
brother
celebate preacher
married guy
and a captain whose head is full of thoughts of Inara...
that all kind of makes Jayne the only one available.

besides, she can totally take him - she knows he couldn't hurt her if he wanted to - and you know he'd never want to:
remember when she was triggered and taking everyone out? Jayne didn't try to hurt her, he only tried to hold her and stop her....

But regardless, here is a really nice Jayne & River story which is not in any way romantic:

Embers - Jayne does mention violence in casual conversation a lot. Talking about where he got Vera from and telling Book about the "miracle" he performed are two that spring immediatly to mind.

I know he didn't hit River in the BDM, but I think this was a case of him not seeing a need to. True, she'd taken out most of the room, but he still assumed he was just a kid and he could take her. And don't forget that he *did* try to sell her out to the Alliance in 'Ariel', and seems to have planned something similar when he decided to take River for a "nice shuttle ride" in the BDM.

As for liking whoever is available, I think Kaylee had a thing or two to say about that in 'The Message'!
