Why are there so many boys at this prom?

At my senior prom, the only boys that were there came with dates, so the girls outnumbered boys 2 to 1.

I watched Pretty in Pink for the first time today. I mostly couldn't get past the part where Eleanor from Eleanor and Park had to be inspired by Andie. (Mostly the weird clothes/kinda poor/red hair/80s thimg.) The boy in that movie was extremely handsome. It's nice to know that James Spader has always seemed old. It wasn't a deep movie, so my comments are limited to spiffy one-liners.
