Movies like 'She's the Man' and 'John Tucker Must Die' are as iconic as drunk Taco Bell for collegiate women, but there may be more to these chick flicks than meets the eye. Although the plot lines are unrealistic and every high school student looks like a 20 something-year-old model, the male characters strongly resemble men I've met at my university, and chances are they're lurking your campus too.
1. John Tucker
To kick start the list we've got John Tucker. You probably already have a mental image in your head of who this is at your school - I know I do. Girls want him and boys want to be him. Almost every conversation you have with this kid revolves around women. Physically, he's flawless, but he struggles emotionally. Underneath the ego, there's probably a really cool person, but we won't see him anytime soon.
2. John Tucker's Sidekick
Every John Tucker has one, some even have two. They're his boys. They enable John's giant head with comments like, "You're the man!" This guy is trying to follow John's lead, but can't execute it as well - mostly because he has a conscience. This guy will go far in life, but he needs to find a different role model.
3. Bumper
Bumper is the president of the lamest fraternity at your school. He looks really great on paper which is why he's so cocky, but those who truly know him aren't as impressed. He makes sexist jokes, eats a lot of subway, and can be seen shouting "damn Daniel" in the library.
4. Mr. Bates
Ah yes, Mr. Bates. This one's a personal favorite. This is the professor that judges you for wearing your sorority letters and gives up on you as a student before you even open your mouth. He never prepares for lecture and he's made the same joke three times this semester.
5. Carter Farrell
Carter is permanently friend zoned. He's your dorky bestie that makes weird comments and is always two months behind on pop culture. He's extremely loyal and honest which makes him good company, but he has a tendency of embarrassing you in public.
6. Justin Drayton
This is the star athlete that hates frat guys and still uses an Adidas bag to carry his alcohol. If he's not playing soccer, talking about soccer, watching soccer, or playing FIFA he's probably shotgunning bud light and texting three girls at once. Justin is too immature for a serious relationship right now and he's struggling to find his manhood. I've got a lot faith in Justin though - he'll figure it out.
7. Warner Huntington III
Lastly we have Warner. This guy is perfect. He's smart, handsome, and motivated. He comes from a good family and exudes class. He's got one problem, though: his personality f*cking sucks. He has a 4.0 but can't quite figure out social cues which causes people to believe he's a pompous ass that thinks he's better than everyone else.
If you're wondering why Austin Ames, Duke Orsino, or "The Other Tucker" didn't make the list it's because they don't exist.
