Jake would not leave his gorgeous blonde girlfriend for a plain Jane like Sam! As soon as Jake & Sam went to school as a couple everybody would laugh at him and think he was nuts!
shareReally, that's all you got out of one of the best high school comedies of all time? Lighten up & have a laugh.
shareWhy wouldn't it happen? Early on in the movie, we know that Jake isn't shallow, and doesn't care about things like status and looks. He's looking for something more meaningful in a relationship. Plus, Sam was cute and quirky, and I think she was very pretty, in a totally different way than Carolyn.
share^^^ That ^^^
Anybody that picks a potential love solely for looks is asking for trouble.

Because of the peer pressure at school. If Jake and Sam walked hand in hand at their high school as a couple everyone would stare and laugh at them. Not happening!
shareMaybe Jake didn't care what other people thought. Look what they did to his house, they trashed it!

Really? You'd laugh at a big, strong senior that looked to be about 30 years old and had the richest family in town? You have more guts than I.

I always wondered why Jake would bother to date Sam knowing he's graduating in a few months and most likely going to college the next fall while Sam still has two years of high school left. So why start something you know won't last?
Plus imagine the flak Carolyn would get from everyone for dating a freshman nerd..

First of all, relax. It's just a comedy. Secondly there's no accounting for taste.
Schrodinger's cat walks into a bar and doesn't.
Jake obviously digs girls who have just bloomed. After graduating and leaving Sam, he went out to Massachusetts and had a quickie with another teeny named Charlotte Flax.

A dope trailer is no place for a kitty.
LMAO you could be with the hottest woman on the planet and yes you could get sick of her and want someone else. Sometimes the pussyisn't worth it.
shareThere is a lot more to attraction than model-like good looks. Intelligence, maturity, character, and kindness are extremely important. Even a solid "10" cannot outweigh the lack of those qualities.
shareYou are right. No reason in any way would Jake have noticed Sam. Not unless it was in one of Hughes wish fulfillment movies.
