10 Movie Geeks Who Got The Girl

When the nerd lands the hottie, we all win...

If I Love You, Beth Cooper proves nothing else, it's that the truly geeky can win the heart of the one they love.

So if you're still worrying yourself into a frenzy over whether that dream girl will finally notice you, then movies can provide a wealth of advice.

Follow some of these sure-fire ways to eternal love. Or at least a quick shag.


 
Spider-Man (2002)

The Girl: Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst)
 
The Geek:
Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire)
 
The Technique: Peter wins her over on two fronts. First, he becomes a super-powered crime-fighter who makes MJ's knees go trembly at the thought of an upside-down kiss.

And secondly, he's sweet-natured enough to wait for her to see that he's a hero without the mask.

This one is probably a little difficult to pull off in real life. Unless you have easy access to a genetically-modified spider.
