He displays little interest in partying, only reluctantly agreeing to go to the initially-planned party at Pickford's under duress from his friends, and the Moontower party because Wooderson invited Cynthia, who is his ride throughout the night. He also has no problem standing up for Sabrina against AlphaBitch Darla.

* CoolLoser: The personification of this trope. He's an immature slacker who still hangs out with high school students and seems to have no ambition beyond drinking and having a good time. On paper, he should be a complete loser but Matthew [=McConaughey=] gives him such charisma, charm and magnetism that he's impossible not to like.
