Characters like Chase and Michael had to suffer all the time, but whenever Zoey's in a similar situation...nothing, because she's never in a bad situation, so while all the guys had to take crap and humiliate themselves, Zoey's job was to look pretty and act like a bland blonde, making her quite an unlikable character.

* StrangledByTheRedString: In a rarely done ''good'' example, Logan and Quinn. They suddenly fall in love Quinn are an example that proves this trope [[TropesAreNotBad does not make a couple bad]]. The two have little interaction for the first 3 and a half seasons, and the interaction they do have isn't friendly, and that does ''not'' mean BelligerentSexualTension. It just means unfriendly. Then midway through the final season despite having little season, her boyfriend, Mark, leaves her for another girl. While she's sulking, Logan happens to no interaction before, be riding by and sees her looking sad and comes to talk to her. While she initially resists his attempts to cheer her up and even asks why he's doing so, he showers her with compliments and then puts [[MegaNekko her glasses back on her]] and says, "There's Quinn." before they share their FirstKiss. Then in the episodes after this they are all over each other; making out very frequently, being intimate, slow dancing. However, these two are actually end up a very good couple.
together, give off a great OppositesAttract vibe, and have a lot of chemistry to the point where a viewer might wonder why the writers didn't start building them up earlier, especially since Quinn's former "boyfriend", Mark, is a total DesignatedLoveInterest. He's an emotionless FlatCharacter, only appears in a handful of episodes, and in those few episodes, the two have no chemistry when together.
** This one is also helped by the fact that even though the relationship has no buildup, Quinn and Logan both [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] how weird it is that they are together. They even admit to each other that they are embarrassed to be dating and hide it from the other characters and when they tell Michael about their relationship, he thinks they're joking.

*** Actually, it makes some sense. People tend to forget that humans have instincts. It '''could''' have been taken that guys can naturally act differently around someone they '''know''' is a girl. But the episode seemed to treat the issue as if they were claiming guys were psychic and knew that sort of thing, somehow. Everyone involved was holding the IdiotBall there.

When Chase finds out about this and dumps her, she ultimately becomes this when she gets ahold of Zoey's secret, threatens to expose it if she doesn't follow her orders, and forces Zoey to wear a banana suit and walk around campus (because she knew that Lola revealed that she was scared of people in costumes). She does get a nice kick in the ass from karma (see below), but still, Quinn put it right...

So if it really was biology then regardless of them knowing Lola was a girl, they wouldn't have been able to naturally act like themselves. You could see the idocy in that theory I'm sure?
