To what degree can this trope be applied to characters outside Japan? Jughead, for instance? (He's not a pervert, but he seems to have the rest of it down.)

Does this have a Distaff Counterpart? I seem to remember that a lot of heroines in Romantic Comedies have nerdy, less desirable friends.
I'm not sure about the title. The title "bromantic foil" sounds like a woman who is the jealous foil of the best bro of the guy she likes, like the bromance is standing in the way of her romance.
