This troper's friend. He gets good grades and seems like a rather polite, intelligent young man from the East Coast-and then you realize he just put a baby scorpion in your juice. Get on his bad side, and he'll tear you a new one. But you'll never know it was him. A '''lot''' of girls get wet over him, but the only people he ever shows interest in are those he can consider rivals (and to be one of those, you better have some serious balls). The only reason he started hanging out with me is because I beat him at chess... And despite the fact that he is clearly '''insane''', and no one denies that he is, just about every girl, and even some female teachers thinks he's the greatest thing since sliced bread. I've become almost universally known by all as "the normal guy who's best friends with the (hot) demon". Oh, and his first (and so far only) serious girlfriend? She's just as evil as he is. I'm not going survive this much longer.

I know a guy like this. My mental process when he's around goes something like this: "What an arrogant prick... but DAMN is he nice to look at... too bad he's a jerk... but he's sooooo preeetttyyyy... NO. He's an asshole! Oh god, look at those arms. He should not be allowed to wear wife-beaters. STOP IT. STOP IT RIGHT NOW. But--NO."

It really didn't help that I had to play his girlfriend in a show... that was just unfair.

My brother, who combines this with JerkWithAHeartOfGold. Despite being a decent guy hidden under layers of jerk, he's still a shitty boyfriend, and treats the girls he dates like crap. Doesn't stop girls from falling over him, though. AND he's bisexual, possibly StraightGay.

In the eighth grade, I was ''very'' briefly infatuated with a boy like this...until I realized he was a total jerk, and then my dreams of dating him pretty much dissipated. He was still nice to look at, though.

Pretty much my story, except I was in year seven.

Not with me, but with my friend. There's this dude we both absolutely hate because he's such a vain, cocky, jerk. I absolutely do not think he is handsome, I tend to lean towards the Roald Dahl perspective when it comes to attractiveness (read The Twits). Normally she agrees, but every once in a while she admits that she actually thinks he's really hot. Then she goes to wash her mouth out with soap.

There's this one guy... oh I can't stand him, he thinks the freaking universe revolves around his oversized head! But he has nice abs. Nice eyes. Nice everything looks wise. But his personality makes me want to go drown him a bath tub though. Or at least make him think I will and scare him humble.

This troper had an infatuation with a guy like this during her senior year of high school. He was very nearly beautiful -- blue eyes, black hair, killer smile. Unfortunately, he had an ego the size of Cleveland and a tendency to stray beyond mere JerkAss; the relationship (they were close friends) was actually borderline abusive, something the troper did not realize until she went away to college and put some distance between them.

In this troper's and her friend's experiences at school, {{Jerk Jock}}s tend to be like this. This troper is completely and utterly turned off by their manipulative personalities, cruelty and general blockheadedness, but her friend tends to fall for them somewhat...poor thing.

This troper's first boyfriend was a weird case. He was rude and kind of a jerk, but ''Christ'' was he beautiful. I've written two poems about him. He was tall and fair and had eyes so blue they seemed almost to glow, and his hair was golden and he was arrogant and scornful and was mean to everyone... except me. That was what made it amazing. Out of all the people who sighed at him, who glared at him with venom and lust, I was the one he was nice to, the skinny Asian goth guy who read too much. It upped the appeal a bit - he's a jerk, but he's a gorgeous jerk, and he's not a jerk to ''me''.

This Troper knows one guy who is an absolute ass. He sleeps with girls and then spreads rumours about how awful they were, he's extremely narcissistic and I've heard his friends actually talk about how much they dislike him ... but man, his ''biceps''. He's blond haired, blue-eyed and just gorgeous. This troper thinks he only looks this way because he cares for his health and body so much ''because'' he is so narcissistic, so makes sure he looks handsome at all costs. And this troper is sure that all the people who look at him think he's awesome, but then he speaks ... and you just want to strangle him.

This troper ended up losing her virginity to one. To this day, she can't decide whether she wants to just do him or punch him. Perhaps both.
