There are totally cute down to earth gay guys. There are two problems:

One: They (wisely) stay the fuck away from bars and clubs as those are places where people go to learn how to be drunk-ass.

Two: When someone (such as yours truly) finds a down-to-earth homo he sinks his claws in and clings for dear life.

Three: Some of them are boring as fuck. It's true. No one likes to say it, but if you're too down to earth you're about as exciting as a ditch. You'll end up talking about laminate flooring to your date until he starts feeling like a rabbit in a trap who would gladly gnaw his hand off just to get away. This had totally happened to me more than once and I felt crazy guilty each time for passing over a perfectly-nice-but-insanely-boring man.
