After sitting down with the brown hair, blue-eyed, waterpolo player, I was shocked to find that he is single. Ladies, time to get your game faces on and make your way to the rec center, this 6’2” California boy is not one you want to miss out on! In the mean time I was sure to get the scoop on all the basics.
HC: What do you notice first when a girl walks by?
Donald: That depends, if it’s close up I notice eyes first, always. If it’s from a distance I’ll notice her face.
HC: What do you look for in a potential girlfriend?
Donald: I’m attracted to girls who are outgoing, smart but not at the library 24/7, sociable and gets along well with most people, as well as active. I like a girl who enjoys hiking, running, any outdoor activites. When it comes to looks I have been partial to blondes and you know, a little color never hurts.
HC: What do you dislike most/ like the most of ladies fashion?
Donald: I really don’t understand those “poofy” gym shorts and I get to see those all the time. I also don’t get ugg boots or those fringed crop-top things. My favorites have to be spandex shorts, volleyball player status, definitely. Who doesn’t love those?! I also like seeing a girl in a nice swimsuit but my all time favorite has to be when a girl wears one of my jersey’s. I LOVE that.
HC: What would you do on your ideal first date?
Donald: I would probably take her to a pier, get her favorite food for dinner and chill on the beach. It’s the second date where the cooking skills come out. I’ve been told I was raised well, I am always polite and gentleman like.
HC: What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
Donald: I play waterpolo, I like going to the gym (side note: he can do handstand push-ups…), crossfit, I really love fitness and taking care of myself. I also love just hanging out with friends and helping them out whenever possible.
HC: What kind of music do you listen to?
Donald: Hip-Hop, Electro-House, Dubstep, Rock, Alternative, and I’d say I’m a pretty casual John Mayer fan.
HC: What makes you an ideal Campus Cutie?
Donald: I’m a friendly guy, very personable, I take care of myself, I tend to make people laug, educated, avid dresser…I was raised well, I love my mom she’s a great lady!
There you have it ladies, time to mingle with one of UA’s most eligable bachelors. Did I mention how great he looks in red and kahki? He can be one more motivating factor to keep up that resolution of going to the gym every day; just look for him at the front desk.
