What do you look for in a girl? Any deal breakers?
CONNOR: A good smile.
BRAD: I like a girl who is athletic, witty, and laughs at my jokes. I usually make sure she’s shorter than I am before making a move. The only real deal breaker is whether or not she can deal with my Tom Brady obsession.

What’s something embarrassing about your brother?
