Stop pasting real heroes with this mindless bull****. Be a hero because it is the right thing to do, and don't ask for anything in return.

A more correct term is 'guys who are nice for reward'.

And don't be so naive. Many men attract very beautiful women, because they showed decency, respect, took it slow, were willing to listen, and were nice guys as you say. They are attracted because they did not want to be stuck with an unappreciative man when they could be with someone who thinks they are the best woman in the world. Who would be more grateful, a nice nerdy shy unattractive guy, or the hunk/jock?
Neither, there are both exceptions , and plastering all nice guys and jocks with this silly stuff is not the best thing to do.

You forgot the Transformers's main character, a poor typical not so socially confident geek with crappy car who always get a supermodel gf even before becoming the world's saver (Megan fox and the other blondie supermodel in the 3rd installment).

Among all the fiction in this movie (transforming sentient robots, space invasion...etc) this part is the most fictitious :lol:

Regardless how good looking Shia really is, he was supposed to represent the typical geek in that movie. They tried to water down his looks there as much as they could without making him repulsive (it's a commercial movie after all).

Sorry, but this is as ridiculous like the typical nerd girl whose beautiness couldnt be seen because of her having a pony hairtail and eyeglasses. XD

Yep sure. As a geek girl I feel myself absolutly represented by professional models, wearing professional make up, having a perfect body, wearing eyeglasses and pony. I always cant understand how these ugly woman, manage at the end of a film to get the male sex symbol of school. There must be a mystery behind it. ^^

Nobody goes to the movies to see average people doing average things. You can see enough of that at home. Movies and tv are escape from the real world, except documentaries and then you see a lot of average people doing and talking about not average things.

Sorry for what? My whole point is to point how ridiculous and unrealistic the whole thing.
