[Omnipotent]

9-year-old’s dating book heads to screen - TODAY: Book news - TODAYshow.com

Summary:

- Kid writes book about girls
- Kid getting movie deal
- Best line:
"It is easy to spot pretty girls because they have big earrings, fancy dresses and all the jewelry, but they are like cars that need a lot of oil."

[Mizango]

Awesome.

"Comb your hair and don't wear sweat pants." lol


Girls, so easy a 9 year old can do it?

[Null]

Oldie?

Lol, forgiven though. He was on Conan last night, seems rather smart for his age. But he needs to learn not to category girls as "ugly" and "beautiful". Not aloud at least.

Makes me sad because I was babysitting my nephew yesterday and he isn't half as advanced as this kid. My nephew still thinks girls have a disease. At that age I had a stack of my dads playboys!

[Rhinox]

lol heard this on stern.

What a joke.

[Mizango]

Imagine being that one douchebag guy lining up in the midst of your midlife crisis to see the screening of this. Sucks to be that guy.

[0ni0n]

HAHA. The question is, how many girls has he dated and is he still a virgin?

[Kuya]

Was it recently that the word virgin has been used for men? Or rather, how recent, because i'm sure virgin isn't supposed to be associated with men.

[Katlan]

lol, this kid is never gonna live this down & gonna be publicly humiliated for the rest of his life... but he won't realize all of this until he hits puberty and cares about what girls think... haha

It's been used for a considerable time, except that instead of the female connotations of purity and chastity, the male application of the adjective/noun brings with it a heapload of associations of awkwardness and social ineptitude. Aren't double standards great?

Time scale? It's been used since I was in primary school, so at the very least a decade and a bit. Ten-year-olds calling each other "virgin" because they'd never kissed a girl: oh the fun.

Virgin is used for anyone that hasn't had sex, male or female.

The term is also used contextually to describe inexperience in any number of things...but how/when that became somewhat common I don't know.

[Null]

No a female that hasn't had sex is a virgin. A male that hasn't had sex is gay.

[Mizango]

No a female that hasn't had sex is a virgin. A male that hasn't had sex is gay.

lol'd.

[tyven]

then whats a virgin pina colada?

Exactly, that's the thing, the concept of virginity is arguably important for women, if the point is to control filiation, and if related to some concept about control of women or women's honour which is from a certain point of view the same thing, but for a man it makes so little sense, because first of all it's completely contrary to the connotations for women, and second you can't really tell if a man is a virgin, unlike, in relative terms, a woman. It's so contradictory.

Virgin is used for anyone that hasn't had sex, male or female.

Not what i meant.

[thatwasnifty]

then whats a virgin pina colada?

A pina colada you haven't stuck your dick in yet.

[Null]

Speak for yourself.

[Anyway]

He's getting all the 5th grade pussy when this movie comes out

[Day]

Is Kuya trying to say men can't be virgins? What are you trying to say?

[Kuya]

That the concept according to what it's supposed to mean, when applied to men, is ridiculous, and i also contend that it's detrimental, because, it is my opinion that a guy's motivation for sex with women shouldn't be because he needs to stop being a virgin, but rather because he wants to have sex out of desire. I think it creates an unhealthy double standard and double moral, where, even though there is claim that we are sexually libertine, it sort of hazes the importance of sex by making it out to be a competition while saying it's of natural desire. It makes having sex an objective rather than a desire. So in a sense, it deflates sex of passion, and makes it just that, a thing of objects. It sort of goes hand in hand with the myth that men are sexually insatiable and incapable of control, which is a relatively recent notion.

To sum it up: too much pressure for men to have sex when it should really be something you do when you want to, not something you do or else your sexuality or gender gets questioned.

[Day]

I don't understand why you are being so sexist right now.
