Jake Sterling vs. Lloyd Carter: A Showdown of Epic Boyfriends

I’ve always had a soft spot for Lloyd Carter, but I decided to give Jake Sterling another chance. So, I put these two iconic boyfriends head-to-head in a showdown to see who would truly win my heart. I re-watched Sixteen Candles and Say Anything with fresh eyes to determine the ultimate victor.

Wheels

It’s a no-brainer, right? Jake’s sleek red Porsche takes the win against Lloyd’s vintage Malibu. But hold on—there’s something to be said for the spaciousness of a Malibu. I’d rather enjoy the ride in that one!

How They Treat Women

Jake hands off his inebriated girlfriend to his nerdy friend like she’s old news. Yikes! Major red flag. Meanwhile, Lloyd shows his sweet side by pointing out broken glass before Diane steps on it, volunteering at a nursing home, and helping his sister with her kid. This round goes to Lloyd!

Friends

Jake’s crew of faceless jocks doesn’t do him any favors. It’s tough being popular and misunderstood, right? On the flip side, Lloyd’s best pals are all about sharing feelings. I prefer a balance of both worlds—so this one’s a draw.

How They Party

While chaos reigns at his parents’ house, Jake retreats to his room. In contrast, Lloyd plays the responsible one, ensuring nobody drives home drunk. Responsible wins this round!

Financial Security

Jake’s family lives luxuriously in a mansion with a gym, wine cellar, and plenty of fancy cars. Lloyd, however, is crashing at his sister’s place and is unsure about his future, even if he does teach kickboxing. It pains me to give this one to the rich guy, but Jake takes the win here.

Style

Jake’s wardrobe screams “grandpa,” with his sweater vests and plaid shirts. But Lloyd’s outfit—think Clash T-shirt, odd track pants, and a trench coat—isn’t winning any style points either. Tough call! Let’s call this round a tie.

Personality

Jake can be a little dull behind those puppy dog eyes, which may leave Samantha feeling uninspired after a few days. Lloyd, however, knows how to make Diane laugh and is unapologetically himself. He’s a chatterbox while Jake is more mysterious and brooding. I’m all about the vulnerability, so this one goes to Lloyd!

Character

Jake checks out Sam before breaking up with his girlfriend, letting his friends trash his house. Not cool! On the other hand, Lloyd persistently asks Diane out and remains devoted even after she dumps him. I’m not convinced Jake is all that great, so Dobler takes this point.

Motive

Jake is looking for something serious, while Lloyd is primarily captivated by Diane’s looks. Jake makes a comeback here for seeking depth over superficiality, but can he edge ahead?

How They Handle Stress

Jake slams doors, while Lloyd drives around in the rain. Meh. No clear winner here.

Epic Gestures

Playing “your song” outside someone’s window? That’s classic Lloyd. He’s got this round in the bag with the boom box overhead.

The Bottom Line

Jake seems to have it all, but he’s missing that special someone to complete his life. Lloyd, on the other hand, seems to have his eyes set on just one person—you. That’s a lot of pressure for any girl!

The Decision

Both guys embody the fantasy of being chosen by someone outside your everyday life. Whether it’s someone you’ve secretly admired or someone unexpected, the allure lies in being seen for who you truly are. Jake’s a decent guy, but he could learn a thing or two about being a true man. My heart is won over, yet again, by Lloyd Carter.
