I have had no luck getting a girlfriend. I'm nice to them but I always get the line "lets just be friends". I'm also a nerd, if you haven't guessed by now.
In this movie, Ashley couldn't keep her hands off of brian when he was a jerk to her. She was hooked on him like a fly is to a horses's ass.
If I'm mean to women, will I get more dates??

I certainly hope your luck has changed since 2008. I can tell you that girls may like jerks but women prefer gentlemen. So, I guess the question is are you looking to date a girl or a woman, a boy or a man? However, anyone worth their salt won't respond positively to a guy being a jerk. The real genuine advice that you can be given is to be you, stop chasing the girls, don't seem desperate - different from being a jerk - , and being able to be comfortable by yourself are the first key ingredients in finding a date. And that's advice for anyone.
Written by a former geek...hell I'm still a geek. Married to a wonderful man, after dating plenty of guys, because I didn't care about finding a man to date, I was just looking to enjoy myself. (And it can be just as difficult for chicks a for dudes in the dating scene)
"will being a jerk to women really get them interested?" Honestly, yes.
shareonly saw this movie a couple of weeks ago so i'm replying to a 15 year old question and a thread that hasn't been updated since the imdb days, but anyway....
As others have said, it depends on the individuals - and by that, both the chaser and chasee.
It's actually shown brilliantly in the movie, when they're at that party and 2 of James Franco's jock friends are shooting firecrackers at girls. Upon seeing this and overhearing James Franco saying words to the effect of"they'll be getting laid later", Aaron Paul does the same to the 3 girls that he and his friends had been sat opposite in awkward silence all night. It doesn't go well. He even says "I'm being a jerk" when one of the girls asked why he did that. To no avail.
So what works with one couple might not work for another.
There are numerous reasons why the firecracker stunt was OK for the jocks but not for Aaron Paul's character, the biggest one being context. I guess that's what it's all about.
