Bryon says that he has a reputation as a "lady killer" and has always been successful at hooking up with girls. He mentions that he has got himself into some difficult positions with boyfriends that he didn't even know existed. Bryon also says that he has told numerous girls that he loved them before when he really didn't, and comments that his dates with Angela, his ex-girlfriend, either ended in make-out sessions or fights. In Chapter 3, Bryon takes Cathy to the school dance, and they both run into Angela. Bryon is shocked to find out that Cathy is not intimidated or jealous of Angela at all. Byron says that Cathy was the first person he's dated who wasn't scared that some other chick would show her up. In Chapter 7, Bryon says that he remembered all the trouble that Angela had caused, as well as her dramatic, unfriendly family. Bryon resents Angela, and she makes him feel sick to his stomach. Cathy is nothing like the girls he used to date because she is innocent and down to earth.
Bryon's ex-girlfriends are confrontational, have low self-esteem, and are generally immoral individuals. They cheat on their boyfriends, are easily seduced by Mark and believe every word he says. After meeting Cathy, Bryon has no motivation to be involved with them anymore and regrets being with them in the first place.
