[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Extroverted and social. Good-looking and dressed in up-to-date/cool clothing styles and brands. Smart, well-rounded, and high-achieving are important too, especially in wealthier areas like ours. I grew up in a pretty rich suburb and there was definitely a large popular clique in all the honors/AP classes. Even the “nerdy” high-achieving kids had a certain amount of status from being near the top of the class.

For boys: Athletic, a house full of the latest video games, funny and laid back.

For girls: Being athletic is a little less important but can still be a positive. I think the popularity criteria for boys is relatively consistent through life, but there comes a time when girls start to value being stylish, up to date on pop culture, and a little more snarky and grown-up. I’d say that starts sometime around 4th-5th grade and carries until maybe junior year of high school, when there tends to be a bit of a “mellowing out” period. [/quote]

yep. i think this is pretty true.  [/quote]
