Greven also believes that pretty girls are coldhearted and regular-looking girls make better girlfriends (is he even old enough to have heard Jimmy Soul's "If You Wanna Be Happy"?). He refers to winning a girl as "winning a victory" and urges the boy to refrain from celebrating in front of his new girlfriend, lest she disapprove...
