You have to remember at the point (in the movies, anyway, bit different in the comics) when MJ talks to Spidey, she has no reason to believe that Peter isn't still just a nerd. I know plenty of people who sound alike. Peter is the LAST person she would be thinking of when trying to figure out who the flexible, athletic, gravity-defying, web-slinging, people-saving superhero is.
It's the same thing with Superman and his facade as Clark Kent - a lot of people have said to me over time "his secret disguise is a pair of GLASSES. As if people wouldn't realise it was him". This isn't so - for it ISN'T just the glasses, as often suggested. It's the fact that Clark is slovenly (in some cases, he has been shown as quite fat and out of shape - other times he just appears unkempt), quiet, mild-mannered, a fence-sitter and a lover of all things sugar-n-spice. When looking at a man FUELED BY THE EARTH'S SUN, built like a brick shithouse, and who has the ability to fly, see through solid objects, lift ridiculous amounts of weight and countless other amazing abilities, you're not gonna say, "heeeeeeeeeey... if he was wearing glasses...y'know...he'd look a lot like old Clarky. Must be the same guy!"
In hindsight, those paragraphs were choppy and hard to read, but I think you sorta get where I'm coming from, yeah?
