This is an excellent example - I couldn't place where Jake Ryan was from until I opened up this link.

For me it was Cindy Mancini.

Edit - after reading OP's meaning of "Jake Ryan" I went the wrong route in my answer. I thought he was getting at the popular one everyone wanted to be with, but if we are going for the perfect prototypical girlfriend type....

It would be Boof or Simone.

Jake Ryan is often a name used to describe a male character or person representing "The Perfect Boyfriend".

In the 1980s multi-generational cult hit movie Sixteen Candles, the character Jake Ryan (played by Michael Schoeffling) was idealistically good looking, wealthy, well mannered, courteous, respectful, and sensitive. He was seeking a soul mate who was not from the popular crowd, and stated that he just wanted someone he could love.

I learned about Jake Ryan due to the near-infinite references to him on match.com.

I've seen Sixteen Candles but wouldn't have remembered who Jake Ryan was if Family Guy hadn't spoofed it.
