In a word, a jock. Difficult to describe but you know exactly who they are when you see them. They are always popular with high school girls and women who do not advance beyond that mental stage. Which further supports my "sheeple" behavioral model (i.e. people doing what is conventionally expected). Jocks epitomize the conventional gender roles, as opposed to nerds and others outcasts and weirdos. That explains the choice made by most HS girls - as teenage behavior is driven mostly by following the herd and conformity to conventional rules of the herd.
