In his book, Alec suggests that men find a cool role model to base their behaviour on. “The best choice for most boys is a regular girl.” he said. Alec also offers advice for when relationships don’t work out so well. On breaking-up, he said: “You say something like, ‘I don’t think this is really going to work but would you like to be friends’.” On being dumped, he replied: “I say, life is hard, move on. If you can’t get over it, it’s ruined.”

　　在书中，亚历克建议男性要为自己的举止树立一个好榜样。他认为，“对于大多数男孩来说，最好是选择一个普通女孩。” 亚历克对于相处不顺的情况也提出了建议，比如分手时，他认为：“这种情况下应该说‘我认为我们俩在一起不合适，但能让我们继续做朋友吗’之类的话。”  如果被甩了呢？亚历克的回答是：“我会说生活就是如此艰难，继续生活吧。要抛开过去，否则你的生活就毁了。”
