Kids Give Hilariously Smart Dating Advice to Single Lady (VIDEO)

kid dating adviceCan you imagine your kid dishing out solid relationship advice? Believe it or not, he might have some words of wisdom on matters of the heart. I'll never forget the time my then 6-year-old daughter told me I should "find a boyfriend who has a lot of money and no kids" and likes to buy me presents because "it would get annoying if you had to, like, ask him to buy you stuff all the time. He should just do that anyway." (See what I mean about words of wisdom?)

Writer and actress Corey Podell knows what I'm talking about. In her video "Kidstructive Criticism," Podell asks the playground set for their take on such modern love issues as online dating and "the friend zone," and let me just say ... their answers do not disappoint!

Here are a few of my favorite Q&A moments from this clip:

More from The Stir: Hilarious Parenting Experiment Shows Modern Kids Can't Handle '80s Gadgets (VIDEO)

Q: What if I'm, like, stuck in the "friend zone" with this guy and can't get out?

A: Just cancel.

Q: Should I join match.com?

A: No!

Q: Why?

A: Because you just shouldn't!

Q: What do you look for in a girlfriend?

A: Pretty much the prettiness.

Just watch ...

Which kid is your favorite? I bet the thing about dating sisters cracked you up. Pretty solid counsel overall, though, wouldn't you say?

What kind of dating advice do you think your kid would give?

    Hmmph! If the kids were REALLY smart, they'd tell their mamas to get the hell away from all men for their safety and protection.

    So funny. Was that kid chillin on the patio chair in his satin PJs? He is a playboy in the making. And I lost it when she went into the narrative about Dylan. This was cute.

    While I wouldn't take dating advice from my 7 year old seriously, I found the video cute.  I realize in this video that the advice wasn't given to the moms, just the interviewer.  @ Lydia:  Yeah, I used to feel like that when I first got divorced, but not all men are scumbags.

    lol this is adorable!  Kids are way smarter than we give them credit for.  And Lydia... I don't have enough fingers or toes to count how many posts I've seen from you talking about how men are all trash... That is incredibly closeminded.. Chill out with it already...
