9-year-old author reveals secrets of picking up girls

You are, if you're promoting this. What I find "creepy" is not so much the kid, but the adults who are encouraging him to write about this stuff. Sexual or not, I think it's wrong.


That's what I think.

Young love topic

I guess this is why 10 year old girls wear thongs, at mom's insistance.

It sounds like he's just giving advice on how to TALK to girls. It sounds age-appropriate, and some of the advice is good for kids in general (and adults too):

Try to be smart, be nice, listen to your mom, dress well . . . sounds good to me.

And what's wrong with 9-year-old boys talking to girls their own ages, considering that they go to school together and have recess together?

If there is something morally wrong with this book, does that not lead to the conclusion that single-sex education should be mandatory?

release_the_bats did you see the post where I said earlier, that this seems more of a case of dirty minded adults misplacing their feelings onto the intentions of a innocent 9 year old boy?

Clever marketing to sell a book full of cliques due to novelty age, hats off to you little Romeo

I did, and I think this is one possible explanation for some of the reactions.

But there could be other ways to look at it too. I like to write posts that include a lot of questions because I'm intrigued by the thoughts and opinions of those who think differently than I do.

This kid is gonna grow up to be a babe-hound a la Sam "Mayday" Malone.

this kid will change his mind about 'love' when he becomes a teenager, i was a ''heart throb'' and someone recognised me as the ''kissre boy' because i was great with girls but then again i went through puberty at an early age and felt the 'urges' from a young age as well.

for those who think this is 'sick', please realise this kid isn't telling kids how to have sex or relationships, instead it's more about how to be friends with girls.

Actually by the sounds of it, she asked Alec first along with the principal as well.

i'd bet ANYTHING they made that story up, no way a kid's gonna learn about love by watching kids talk on an elementary school playground. I call BS.

I hope that it isn't working because he has to to earn enough money to make his child-support payments on time!

yeah, let's throw out Mozart, little creep, writing symphonies before he was outta short pants! And overly precocious Daniel Barenboim playing the Goldberg Variations before he could go to grammar school. And H. P. Lovecraft (well he WAS creepy! let's face it!) Franz Liszt, what a weirdo! John Stuart Mill, what a freak! Sergei Prokofiev just makes my skin crawl. . . Pablo Picasso, (well, maybe a little strange)and Tiger Woods and Wayne Gretzky are icky and just plain wrong!

Yeah, I gone through puberty but have never had a 'crush'. True, we do think like adults at a younger age, but more in the logical sense rather than relationship sense.

i had what i classed as 'girl friends' and relationships from as early as eight, and had a strange sort of relationship with a girl four years older than myself when i was young.

You're a handsome devil. I can see why the girls loved you.

You are assuming wrong things about users here, not everyone who think this is wrong has "dirty minded misplacing his feeling onto the intention of a innocent 9 year old boy". It's not like that at all, the idea of dating itself (regardless of sex) is a mature concept , dating leads to relationship and relationship is about commitment ,loyalty and sharing time together , it's not only about sex.

This boy is not only talking about "HOW to talk to girls" but he's talking about How to date girls , let me quote you some of what this 9 yo boy said:



Don't date too many, it's about loyalty here ....about not cheating , is this a child concept?







Weird, when I was at his age I never recall boys locking up in their room because of a girl , they usually do that if they take a bad grade or did bad in some sport game.




Facts of Life? Life is hard , move on? I mean Wtf? They want make young kids to be already concerned about the bitter facts of life and how hard life is??




He heard that cliché from adults obviously.

and "You are like a magnet and girls are the metal"? ---> Seriously, what the crap is that? Already sexist? He already promoting those gender roles?









--> He already promoting the confidence and first impression thingy? A kid must act like a man already?






"win victory"? Sounds like the "scoring" term. And he already knows that girls don't like desperate or needy guys??




Pretty girls are like cars that need a lot of oil?? What the yuck is that? An 'innocent" kid idea? Sound sexist and prejudice against pretty girls as well.




That boy has just hatched from the egg yet he already knows about the natural selection concept and already aware that pretty girls can usually afford to be picker? ...




The alpha male concept already?? " you pretty much get all the girls"?




aahhh ...business.




So violet_yoshi and release_the bats , if you see nothing wrong in all this , that's fine...but don't throw accusations left and right just because you are unable to see the wrong in all of this.
