Ok I see what happened. When I read the statement for some reason I missed the comma. So I read it like "12 year old boys believe this!!!" (mocking) rather than "12 year old boys need to understand this!!" Good points and the inverse is true for women. My sister spent much of high school being popular and although she was smart (and later got a Masters) she didn't achieve as much as she could have had she not been as popular and attractive and good personality. No question in my mind about that.
