I’ve always leaned toward the charming Lloyd Morgan, but I thought it was time to give Jake Thompson another chance. So, I decided to pit these two iconic boyfriends against each other to see who truly deserves the crown. I re-watched Sixteen Candles and Say Anything with fresh eyes to find out who would ultimately win my heart.
Car Preference
No contest, right? Jake’s sleek red Porsche seems like the ultimate ride, but hold on. I’d much rather enjoy a scenic drive in the back of Lloyd’s Malibu. It’s way roomier!
How They Treat Women
Jake, in a questionable move, hands off his intoxicated girlfriend to the Geek like she’s an old magazine. Red flag, anyone? On the other hand, Lloyd is a gentleman; he even notices broken glass before Diane steps on it, volunteers at a nursing home, and helps his sister juggle motherhood. Round one definitely goes to Lloyd.
Friend Circle
Jake’s friends are just a bunch of faceless jocks who don’t add much to his character. Meanwhile, Lloyd’s besties are girls who love to chat about their feelings. I prefer a mix of macho and emotional, so let’s call this round a draw.
Party Style
While his house is being wrecked, Jake hides away in his room. Lloyd, however, takes it upon himself to ensure nobody drives home drunk. Responsible wins this round!
Financial Background
Jake’s got the luxury life with a mansion, exercise room, and a garage filled with high-end cars. Lloyd, however, lives with his sister and is still figuring out his career path, although he does teach kickboxing. It pains me to say it, but Jake wins this one for his financial security.
Fashion Sense
Jake’s style leans toward the “grandpa chic” with his sweater vests and plaid shirts. Meanwhile, Lloyd rocks a Clash T-shirt, quirky track pants, and a trench coat. Sorry, Jake, but Lloyd’s unique look gives him the edge.
Personality Traits
Jake can come off as a bit dull behind those puppy dog eyes, leaving Samantha potentially bored. Lloyd, in contrast, knows how to keep Diane laughing and expresses his true self. Mysterious brooding versus open-heartedness? Vulnerability always wins in my book!
Character Depth
Jake is already eyeing Samantha before he breaks up with his girlfriend and lets his friends trash his house. Lloyd, however, is persistent and sincere in his pursuit of Diane, even after rejection. Sorry, Jake, but your perfect hair can’t redeem your character flaws. Another point for Lloyd!
Motivation
Jake wants something deeper, while Lloyd seems infatuated with Diane’s looks. Jake’s desire for something real gives him a point, but can he take the lead?
Stress Management
Jake slams doors in frustration. Lloyd drives around in the rain, which is poetic but not particularly effective. No clear winner here.
Grand Gestures
Crashing a wedding versus playing “your song” outside a bedroom window? The boom box overhead is a classic move, and Lloyd definitely wins this round.
Final Thoughts
Jake has the world at his fingertips, but he believes his life is incomplete without you. Lloyd may not have it all figured out, but he knows he wants you. Talk about pressure for a girl!
The Verdict
Both guys represent the fantasy of being chosen—being seen for who you really are by someone outside your regular circle. Jake might be a good guy, but he could use some advice from his buddy Corey: “Don’t be a guy. Be a man.” And the man who wins my heart every time with a knockout punch is none other than Lloyd Morgan.
