Precocious 9-year-old Alec Greven, who penned the book How To Talk To Girls, was on the Today show this morning, and Meredith Vieira asked him about his subject matter. "I studied, kind of," he said. "I observed at recess." Alec, who is ridiculously articulate and pretty damn cute, says that boys shouldn't try and date too many girls, "because they end up dumping you at the same time, and then you have none." He also advises boys against wearing sweatpants ("grubby") and claims that girls like guys who are smart. But when Meredith asked Alec if he was a chick magnet, he answered: "Really? Um… not really."

Alec Greven recently published a book with HarperCollins called How to Talk to Girls that is full of plain-spoken, common sense tips to help boys with their dating woes. Some of the pointers are simple: "comb your hair and don't wear sweats" and keep approaches easy with a friendly "hi." Greven also warns against pretty girls — easily spotted with their "big earrings, fancy dresses and all the jewelry" — because they can be "cold-hearted." [NY Post] More »
