Lucas is a junior History major and Navy ROTC midshipman. He spent last semester studying in Angers, France. To everyone’s surprise, he’s currently single! Be sure to check him out at Bengal Bouts which kicks off on February 17th. He sat down with me and answered some of the more hard-hitting questions we college girls have.
HC:Who’s in the picture with you?
Lucas: That’s my son.
HC: Hmm… Okay then, let’s just jump into the bigger questions. Should the girl offer to pay on a date?
Lucas: I appreciate the gesture, but I’m never going to let a woman pay on a date.
HC: Have you seen the How I Met Your Mother episode when Ted goes on two dates, one with a girl who reaches for the bill, and one with a girl who makes no reach, and chooses the reacher? That’s where this question is coming from.
Lucas: I mean I’m gonna end up peeing for it– paying for it, I won’t pee on the bill– so I appreciate the gesture but I’m gonna pay, so no. I don’t care if she reaches or not.
HC: Moving along, how much junk is too much junk?
Lucas: Never enough junk.
HC: What does your ideal woman dress like?
Lucas: Classy, but maybe a little bit different, nice clothes, put together, but with some flare.
HC: What do you mean by nice, give me some brands.
Lucas: Hmmm… J. Crew is a nice jumping off point… Who else makes women’s clothes… Target? Your clothes should make you stand out, but I don’t want to remember a girl for her clothes.
HC: If you were able to date one 20th century historically relevant figure, who would it be and why?
Lucas: Oh God. So many to choose from.
HC: You aren’t limited to females.
Lucas: Maybe Churchill, I feel like he’d be a great cuddler. He’s a rolly polly guy, a little heavy, you could snuggle with him.
HC: What is your future wife’s spirit animal?
Lucas: Pass.
HC: Ideal first date?
Lucas: Catherine Jones/ Sean Connery lesson on how to dance through lasers like in the movie Entrapment scenario. Actually, that’s not a date I would just like to do that. It doesn’t even have to be romantic, I would just like it to happen.
HC: Smelliest part of France?
Lucas: The cheese and some of the people. Actually just say the cheese, I don’t want to be culturally insensitive. The Paris metro too.
HC: When you were in France, what did you miss most from home?
Lucas: My little brother Gavin.
HC: When you got back to America, what did you miss about France?
Lucas: My host dog.
HC: Best pick up line?
Lucas: I’m an astronaut.
HC: Women in capes… Thoughts?
Lucas: Depends on the context, but yes!
HC: What fashion trend do you want to see more on campus?
Lucas: Fewer spirit jerseys. Those loose armpitted long sleeved t-shirts girls wear. I don’t get it.
HC: You would run if you heard a woman say?
Lucas: “I’m it!” and we were playing tag. One time a girl compared herself to a yeti, and that was kinda weird.
HC: If you had a couple hours more free time every week what would you do with it?
Lucas: Hmmm… Start a fight club.
HC: What is the mens boxing club then?
Lucas: Okay well, I would map the steam tunnels.
HC: Most recommended YouTube video?
Lucas: I did watch a pretty great video of dogs kissing babies yesterday, but I don’t have a favorite per se.
HC: How do you feel about leggings worn as pants?
Lucas: I need some context, but if it’s with a cape then yeah I’m into it.
HC: What about in class?
Lucas: Sure, it’s class.
HC: If I say Jennifer Lawrence, you say…?
Lucas: Worst haircut ever.
HC: If you had to legally change your name tomorrow what would it be?
Lucas: “Laser” would work its way in there somewhere.
HC: Worst vacation?
Lucas: Hmm a road trip with a car full of women… To Iowa.
HC: Why did you do ROTC?
Lucas: For the silly uniforms and the bureaucracy.
HC: Last question… What’s the best kind of pie?
Lucas: Cow pies… No strawberry rhubarb… Damn this is the hardest of the questions. Could I get a pie sampler including, but not limited to Sheppard’s pie, Chicken Pot pie, apple, strawberry rhubarb, and pizza pie?
