A hopeless romantic, desperate for a boyfriend, agrees to a make-under that turns her from girly-girl into every man's dream: a "guys girl" who drinks beer, plays video games, and has no idea she's hot.
Desperate to find love, a young woman agrees to lose some of her girlishness to make her more appealing to guys.
A hopelessly romantic, preppy young woman undergoes a make-down with the help of her guy's guy neighbor in an attempt to attract men.
After learning guys want an easy-going, hang-out kind of girl, Claire, who wants true love more than anything, attempts to be just that, only to discover her true love lives right next door.

Present, 3 months with a brief flashback of 13 and 3 years
The majority of scenes take place in Los Angeles and include an auction house, restaurant, sports bar, apartment interior and beach. There is one scene inside a high school gym.
CLAIRE (27), is a preppy and attractive female, who is obsessed with finding a long term relationship. When she was 14, she met EMERSON, and the two immediately became a couple, staying together for nearly ten years while they lived in New York City. Claire decides to move to Los Angeles to fulfill her career aspirations, but the long-distance relationship is too much for Emerson and the couple splits.

Claire begins internet-dating in full force so that she will never be without a boyfriend. She is uptight, always over-dressed, and hopelessly romantic. She finds HUNTER (mid to late 20's) on one of her dating profiles. The two go out for a romantic date and it is clear that Claire is gunning for a serious relationship within one date, which scares off Hunter.

Claire's neighbor, JAKE (28), is handsome, but somewhat promiscuous and uncommitted. His dating style is the opposite of Claire's, who is often disgusted by his behaviors. She learns, however, that he has a gorgeous girlfriend, TAYLOR (22), who is a "guy's girl" and enjoys boxing, obscenities, and never dresses up or wears make-up.

Claire works with her best friend, NADIA (28), who has chosen Claire to be her maid of honor for her...
