"Hence the stereotype of the resentful nerd who concludes the jocks get the girls because they’re both shallow and stupid, and the fact the jock was the one who actually had the balls to ask her out somehow doesn’t get much rotation during the rumination."

That's rather unthoughtful; or it may come from someone who experienced life, and its "girl relations" side, from a vantage point well removed from that of the people he lambastes.
