Meet Evan Smith!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UAB chapter.

Name: Evan Smith
Major: Philosophy/Pre-Law with a minor in Philosophy of Law
Hometown: Mountain Brook, Alabama
Year: Freshman

Why is a philosophy major great to date?
Because every philosopher has touched on the subject of love. All we think about is love…we basically sign up to think of things. We can also work through relationship issues logically. 

What kind of girl are you looking for? 
I’m looking for someone who treats me and expects to be treated as an intellectual peer, someone who’s devoted and entertaining.

What are your turn-ons and turn-offs?
Intellect is the most attractive thing. Vapid, banal people, superficial people, and people that place stock in trite things are my turn-offs.

If time and money were no option, where would you take someone on a first date?
I would take her to Waffle House, because if she’ll say yes to me there, she could say yes anywhere. 

What’s your “type”?
Does Miranda Kerr count as a type?

Is Miranda Kerr your dream girl?
No…Grace Kelly is, she’s the perfect female…like, ever. She’s extremely talented and beautiful.

What’s the most attractive style on a girl?
If I absolutely had to pick, it would be “boho-chic” or hipster…high-waisted shorts, that type of thing.

Boxers/Briefs?
Boxers.

Fun Fact: Before the age of 18, Evan had his writing published and played a solo in Carnegie Hall.
