It's true.
Men just crave attention from women. It doesn't matter whether they like the women, or would ever date the women, or find the women remotely attractive. They just want their existences validated and so they attempt to gain praise by being ridiculous show-offs.
So now, whenever we notice a guy showing off in some manner or other, we say "Ladies, look how fast I can run" and collapse in a fit of immature giggles, much to the confusion of the poor male who has just failed in his attempt to impress us with whatever (getting a concussion, being able to hit a low B flat, knowing pi to 500 places, etc.). All of the previous examples, by the way, actually happened.
So yes. Boys are ridiculous.
In other news, you should get on YouTube RIGHT NOW and watch the movie "Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging." The book is better, but the movie is still basically the funniest thing ever.
