Madison was WAY more gorgeous than his girlfriend. She obviously really intensely liked him. She was blonde, soft, and gorgeous, and very exciting. Many guys would have broken off with the girlfriend immediately and wanted to be with Madison instead.
And if she had "gotten" the guy, she might never have gone to such extreme lengths. She probably would be jealous and possessive and all, but nothing criminal.
How about because she was CRAZY? Lol, she murdered like all over her boyfriends. Seriously though, because he loved his girlfriend for who she was not just how she looked, I'm sure. They had a long term relationship and she was caring, supportive, kind, and understanding. Madison gave it up before she even knew him, dated half the swim team, and was clingy and obsessive. It's not really about looks it's about everything else. He was obviously physically attracted to Madison.
OP is a *beep* loser! His girlfriend was waaaaaaay prettier than Madison! And not for anything, but his girlfriend could have done soooo much better than him! Also, OP, I could see you're probably a lonely jerkoff!

You're retarded, OP. If someone loves someone else, they don't just throw off their relationship for some hot chick. It's not worth ruining what they have with their current S/O.
He was in love with Amy. She was hot too, and they obviously had a deeper connection than just physical. He was merely attracted to Madison, he didn't actually have feelings for her. Plus there's the fact that she was, oh yah, a raging psychopath.
Makes no sense. Why should he cheat on his girlfriend?
As for the many guys who would have broken off with the girlfriend immediately and wanted to be with Madison instead, well .. it just shows which head is in charge. Sorry to be crude about it.
I would have chosen Madison in a heartbeat. The gf was very plain-looking, while Madison has this gorgeous, baby-doll look (the kind that Hollywood tries to villify, because Hollywood has a resentment of anything that's reminiscent of the WASP culture that it displaced, but that men find gorgeous). Madison's beauty is irresistible.
Oh yeah, baby-doll crap is SO villified by purist Hollywood. Get freaking serious. And Amy, plain? I'm so sick of neanderthals calling her that because she doesn't dress like a hooker.

I avoided this movie for years and finally got around to seeing it for the first time. And as much as I hate to say it... I would've left Amy for Madison. Sure she's batsheet crazy, but she was so sexy! Even when she was being crazy she was still pretty sexy.
I'd love to see a movie where the guy does indeed fall for the crazy girl but he doesn't see that she's crazy while everyone else around him does.
Don't try to cash in love, that check will always bounce.
Agree OP, she was way hotter and you know that she would have done whatever it took to get him into Stanford and the rest of it. Really they should have his girlfriend a *bit* sexier just to narrow that huge gulf.
Ben used to be a screwed up kid. Amy helped him clean up his life and helped him stay clean. She became his rock, but she was kind of "plain" and Ben was getting scared about their future. I think he just wanted to experiment. He had a one night stand with a hot girl and then realized he'd made a big mistake. What he had with Amy was real and he didn't want to ruin it for some hot piece of @ss.
Look if Ben was a real man, he wouldn't have settled for one or the other, he would have taken both. After banging Madison in the pool that night, he should have called his supervisor at the hospital and quit. Then he could tell Amy he was still working.
Then he sets up his calendar to look something like this.
Sunday: Bang Amy Monday: "work" (bang madison) Tuesday: Bang amy Wednesday: "work" (bang madison) Thursday: "work" (bang Madison) Friday: Bang Amy Saturday: Bang Amy
And for any of you who would pose the question "what is he gonna do about money?"
He won't need it!! If he he really needed anything he could mooch off Madison, who is obviously very well off. Otherwise his mom provides him 3 squares a day and a place to sleep. Then all he needs to do is cover gas money, and even then he could bum money off Amy.
"hey babe, I had to buy some new speedos recently, can you help me cover gas?" "Sure Ben, I love you here is the gas money, fill it up quick so we can bone"
And for those of you who would pose the question: "what about his homework?"
He could get Madison to do it for him while he is banging Amy. Madison doesn't have a job, and shes crazy about Ben. The little bastard could get a free ride through school if he knew what he was doing.
See Ben screwed up, because Madison obviously wanted to be F-buddies. She wanted SEXUAL commitment.. In the first third of the movie, she was fine with Amy in the picture. If Ben would have setup his calendar like I suggested, Madison would still be sane, his swim team friend would still be alive, and that old man wouldn't have gotten the wrong pills.
