HC ISU: What’s something you can’t live without?
JR: Going to the gym. If I go a day without exercising it makes me feel useless and lazy/
HC ISU: What do you look for in a girl?
JR: I like a little uncertainty when it comes to a female. Someone who can keep you on your toes in a conversation or keeps you guessing on what her next move will be.
HC ISU: What’s your biggest turn on and turn off?
JR: Any female who can take my smack talk and throw it back in my face will have my attention all night. Then I have to say a turn off would be females that take on the role of a prima donna and only focus on themselves.
HC ISU: What’s the first thing you notice about a girl?
JR: Her confidence. It can be the sexiest thing a female can have and make it more likely to want to talk to her.
HC ISU: Sorority girl or GDI?
JR: To me, I have had a chance to meet a lot of females involves in sororities and girls doing their own thing. I always try to look for the best in people no matter where they come from or who they are. So yeah, I’m ducking that question.
HC ISU: Describe your ideal date:
JR: Going back to Barcelona and grabbing some drinks and tapas on the beach before going to see the water show at night at Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya.
HC ISU: Fashion trend you like and don’t like on girls?
JR: Huge fan of any girls who can pull off maxi dresses. I don’t understand the short shorts and Ugg’s Boots combo. Like, are your cold or hot? How am I supposed to know!?
HC ISU: How can a girl win you over?
JR: If Bae walks into the room and we start talking about music, experiences she has had, teaches me something new and puts me in my place when I get cocky. I am going to wife her up and getting her as many Dominoes’ pizzas and Pumpkin Spice Lattes it takes to keep her happy.
