* In parallel storylines in ''Webcomic/DumbingOfAge'', former AlphaBitch Jennifer falls (on the rebound) for ReformedCriminal Asher, while NiceGirl and recovering fundamentalist Joyce starts dating HandsomeLech Joe. However, Asher turns out to be rather less of a bad boy than he first appears, even having things in common with the {{geek}}y Walky, and Joe, in an attempt to be worthy of Joyce, cleans up a bit, combing his hair and having a shave. Both women clearly prefer the older, badder versions of the guys, at least when it comes to appearance.

Davan points out that, far from her being attracted to a jerk, it's more likely that she's dating him because he actually went to the trouble of asking her out--and, furthermore, guys who misrepresent their intentions by pretending to be a girl's friend solely in order to date (or just have sex with) her and then passive-aggressively whine when she doesn't "reward" them for being her friend (as Mike is currently doing) are hardly ''that'' great an improvement over the "jerks" they complain about.

Eventually, she and Ed conceive again; this child is born successfully, but she starts beating it, as well.
