The Kid Who May Put Me Out of Business
There comes a time in every dating columnist’s life when she must acknowledge that her time is past and that a new generation has risen. You just always expect that the new generation wouldn’t be quite so new.
Perhaps, now that I’m going into a third year of working on a book proposal, and a nine-year-old has managed to take time out of his busy schedule to write a book on how to talk to girls, that time is now.
Barely-a-middle-schooler Alec Greven has penned a reference book for how to talk to girls, and includes sage advice like “beware of pretty girls” and to go for regular girls because “pretty girls are like cars that need a lot of oil.”
He advises, “The best choice for most boys is a regular girl. Remember, some pretty girls are coldhearted when it comes to boys. Don’t let them get to you.”
If the article is to be believed, the writer took the kid to a bar for Shirley Temples. Priceless.
BRILLIANT! Those lucky 8-year-old “average” looking girls. They’re gonna get all the hot jocks now. The little league pitcher. The AYSO goalie. The Pop Warner quarterback. Sigh….all the guys that this Tomboy wanted but never got. So I just punched them and ran.
Really annoying & buggy links to the NYPost. They really can’t put together a site to save their souls, and may need to soon! And evidently the ‘women’ who were interviewing the author also sucking down beers as they did so. Umm Why?
But clearly Alec has a lot to learn. All the girls flock to ‘smart boys’? Just an afternoon of observation would have told him otherwise. The jocks, they get the girls. Ditto for the ‘made rich kids’ with the pedigrees. The egg heads & ‘intellectuals’ (the archaeologists & paleontologists BTW), other than Indy just never crack the majors. Trust us on this one kid! I’ve never seen a smart anything ‘pull’ in the desired effect/consequences/men/woman w/o substantial help or aid from Something else. A nice salary. A big house & car. A ‘hot bod’. But brains alone? Bores most people. To death, kid. Read it and weep! Cheers & Good Luck, ‘VJ’
Wish they had that when I was just a little lad, just think all that knowlegde.
