Little ladies man pens dating primer(MSNBC)

9-year-old Alec Greven advises boys of all ages how to get the right girl.
Alec Greven, a fourth-grader at at Soaring Hawk Elementary School in Castle Rock, Colo., began writing the book "How to Talk to Girls" — about the dos and don'ts of dating — when he was 8 years old. The book came out of a school writing assignment, and he so impressed his teacher and principal that the book was sold for $3 at the school book fair and became the fair's top seller. The book eventually made its way into the hands of a publisher, and Alec has since been doling out advice to boys of all ages all over the country. He spoke to TODAYshow.com about what inspired him to write this book, why boys should stay away from "pretty girls" and what the future holds for him as a dating expert.

@proent hahaha so true, maybe in elementary school that's the case, but now girls tend to go for the assholes or "class clowns" Kinda funny.

[proent]

@watchthatvid112 Oh yeah. .yeah it was harsh..Sorry I forgot I even wrote that. just watched it again noticed he says girls tend to go for the smarted kid in the class and not the class clown but I find the case to be quite the opposite....

[watchthatvid112]

@proent ...kinda hard to say he's on the "gay" side..I mean he's young haha thats a lil harsh.
