Cute moles (He means beauty marks, ladies!).

Blondes or Brunettes:
Red heads (Didn’t see that one coming).

If you were stranded on a desert island and could only bring three things, what would you bring?
Marc Wahlberg’s biceps, a helicopter so I could leave, and a gorgeous girl to chill with on the beach (Really, no food?!).

I’m good with my hands…
