[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dd is popular, but on the edge of popularity. If there’s a 1%, she’s a 2%er.

She would answer (I didn’t ask her directly):
For girls:
Has all the merch, or access to it, even if they don’t like or buy into it.
The moms are friends and hang out. [b]They even go on exepensive vacations as families.[/b]
No concern for modesty in clothes. Just wear whatever they want, even to school.
Get picked up the neighborhood (at the bus stop) in the parent’s or big sister’s Jeep or golf cart or other cool ride.
Many of them have sisters 15 years older. Seriously. It’s like mom had one when she was 20. Broken relationship. Had another when she was 35. Big sister teaches the younger sister how to be popular.
Usually cheerleading or dance.
Most of them blonde. 
In my area, it helps to be a longterm local.

My dd has none of those things but, I do buy her some merch. She’s naturally way prettier than these other girls. Even though the other girls seem prettier with blonde hair and expensive clothes, their faces look like their dads’. So it helps them with the family ties, maybe longterm local connection “looks just like her rich grandaddy!” (But just as ugly)

My dd is confident, friendly, has a boyfriend that isn’t there coolest either but a lot of people “like like” him. She and he both have “rizz.”

They’re both super confident which makes up for the less rich thing.

The bolded is true.  And honestly, a little weird to me.

The families go on vacation together, and the parents just hang out with the parents (and get drunk) and the kids go off on their own.

We were invited on a beach trip with 2 other families and won't go again.  It was super weird to essentially not spend time with the kids on vacation.[/quote]
