Well- I don’t know that the “weird artsy loner” DOESN’T actually get the girl in real life- more that they more regularly “get the girl (of their dreams)” as a woman- 10-20 years later. If you look writers of scripts and literature- many have had gorgeous and or charming spouses and even mistresses- often among them are some of the most desirable female celebrities of the day.
The same is true of comedians and other “non jock” “non chad” types. Most girls someday grow up to be women- and a good percent of them realize that the things that mattered or that were priorities at a younger age aren’t so much. In general as we mature as humans our minds tend to open more and we become willing to accept, embrace, or explore things. Many women simply reach a logical point when their romances haven’t been working well and decide to try something they haven’t tried before.
Often times the traits that can alienate people from their peers in their youth can be quite desirable when they grow older. The key there of course is that in general- most people won’t want to date a bitter and spiteful person, and very few people want to date a completely hopeless person- so just don’t give up, don’t stop bettering yourself and growing. Don’t close yourself off or become hateful and full of vitriol because a bunch of kids were too immature to appreciate you. Sometimes these guys get the “girl” and sometimes they figure out that type of “girl” isn’t a good match and they do the logical thing when they aren’t having luck in love... they try something new and find “the girl” of their dreams who they never knew was until they met.
The thing I always found ironic is the guy or girl who desperately doesn't want to be judged for their appearance/athletic ability always end up spending the whole movie proving they're worthwhile for other reasons. And as a reward for proving none of this stuff matters... They are given dates with the person they find extremely physically attractive
lol. It is often a contradictory message. “I learned that being yourself is most important and you don’t have to fit in to get what you want... but I still got what I wanted after transforming myself except for some not actually socially unattractive trait like enjoying books or being good at math- and I’m going to stay this way and enjoy my now transformed life.”
