10 Insufferable Rom-Com Leads That Don't Deserve Love

1. Benjamin Barry And Andie Anderson - How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days

Love Actually Creepy
Paramount Pictures

In a way, these two actually are deserving of love, but only from one another, because they are both equally abhorrent piles of human trash. Unfortunately, it's unlikely that either of them are truly able to experience the emotion of love, because they're clearly sociopaths.

Their behavior in this film is shocking on two levels. First, that humans are actually capable of acting like this, and secondly, that any audience member could possibly find this romantic or charming.

Basically, these two are both engaged in bets that will require them to lie extensively to a person they're supposed to have feelings for. Andie is trying to show her ability to make a man break up with her in 10 days, and Ben is out to prove that he can make a woman fall in love with him in 10 days.

Why these are the types of things that normal, functioning adults concern themselves with remains a mystery. Their increasingly hateful, vindictive acts reach a fever pitch until they spontaneously confess their love for one another. Well, it's a good thing they'll have each other, because no one else probably would.
