    Absolutely. Actually, I didn't even know about this bright young mind. He's really cool! Thanks for posting the video. :)

    I've always believed kids are actually the ones who often have more sensible views on various matters than a lot of adults do. What he's saying in this video is basically all the important stuff you should keep in mind. Just because it's a 9 year old boy who's telling it doesn't mean it's any less important. I say anyone who can take advice from a 9 year old is that much more mature than those who can't.

    Just my opinion... *shrug*

    Wisdom is ageless so sure why not?

    What he says is actually very reasonable

    i would listen to the advice. i can't guarantee i'd take it.

    i was with this kid until he said that girls aren't gross. obviously he doesn't know what he's talking about.

    Hahahaha-

    Poor thing is just slightly brainwashed, dont you think? I wonder what his family is like sounds like he is repeating exactly what he has been told. Reminded me of the young bible bashers in the States ... I really feel for him whats gunna happen when it doesn't pan out like he thinks? Bless him...
    No doubt someone will buy his book and make mummy and daddy proud.

    I have the feeling that this kid will not have any trouble getting laid when the time comes

    hmmm

    be friendly

    be clean

    don't be hyper

    sounds like sage advice to me

    i finally listened to the whole thing.

    this kid must have shitty friends. "hey, my buddy has a crush, i'm going to learn everything about her and steal her from him, just to fuck him over!"

    Quite possibly; it would all depend on the advice.

    I would listen to him, but would seriously have to think about the advice a nine year old would give before I implemented the advice in my life. I respect the doctrine that children see the world in a more honest clear way then many older people do, there are certain things that certain people do not have enough knowledge to talk about properly. Taking relationship advice from someone who has not been in love or had a serious long term relationship under their belt is like taking sex advice from someone who's balls have not dropped. Even if they are terrible in bed or had a really bad relationship, at least they have actually tried it. I probably would not take advice from someone if their longest relationship was a month, let alone someone who has never been in any kind of meaningful relationship before.

    You've got to start gender-generalizing early on otherwise your formulaic approach to communicating with someone you're interested in might fail you...

    Haha, that's what I was thinking. It's still a formula, still fake. I know it's been said a million times but I think just being yourself is the way to go. That may attract less women, but the ones that it does attract will actually like who you are. Why do you think so many guys bitch about their woman trying to change them? They acted all nice, polite, responsible and cool to get her and now that he's relaxed the act she is upset that he's a little bit lame, irresponsible and crude.

    I'd listen and respect it if it genuinely came from the kid's heart. Unfortunately, this sounds like a load of stuff the kid is repeating from adults. "Cut down on the sugar if you have to". No nine year old says that in earnest or even understands the principle.

    Romantic and lovely as the notion of the carefree wonderful innocent children giving advice is, he has a very limited understanding of adult relationships at that age. Sorry, kid.

    My thoughts exactly. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this whole book thing was just a plot hitched by his parents to exploit him for financial gain.

    What kid comes up with "cut down on your sugar" and what kid comes up with, "I'm gonna publish a book"
