Jon Hamm Gives Great Advice to Teen Girls

From now on, whenever we have a quandary, we’re going to ask Jon Hamm

Tavi Gevinson’s site Rookie has a monthly feature called “Ask a Grown Man.” This month, answering the questions of teen girls is Mad Men star Jon Hamm. We think he does a fine job. Only date guys who want to make out with you and don’t worry about farting. Everybody farts. And gosh, do we ever wish that Jon would tell us more about these full-on tingly-stomach-feeling, nervous, obsessive crushes. Enjoy the Hunger Games!
