So, most of us already know that you’re a beast athlete. What’s the craziest athletic event you’ve competed in so far? I recently competed in the Tough Mudder, which is a 20 obstacle course event spanning 12 miles. (I literally could not move the next day). I’ve also played competitive soccer my whole life, so that isn’t far behind!
Campus Activities: People watching…
Off-Campus Activities: I am very devoted to staying healthy and working out. That’s my top priority in life. If you aren’t healthy, you don’t have the chance to fully experience all the joy life has to offer. I also enjoy cooking; you can’t be healthy if you don’t know how to cook! Other than that, I appreciate being outdoors and spending time with family.
Take me through your ideal date: We’d spend the entire day together, go on a casual bike ride to a place she’s never been before; nice scenery and a well-made “picnic” is a must. Afterwards, I’d take her home so we could make a delicious dinner. Multiple courses, of course! After dinner, I’d take her out for some nice wine and cheesecake. We’d take a walk around town to burn off all the goodies we ate before we make it home for the night. I’d finish the night off with a fire pit as we enjoy one another’s company.
What is your biggest flaw? Forgiving people too easily. It isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but when some people take advantage of it, it can be.
Favorite quote: “We are what we repeatedly do; excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.” – Aristotle
Booty or tatas? She definitely has to squat, but overall, both please!
What is something girls do that you absolutely loathe? Women who can’t think for themselves and/or who act stupid to get attention. Be yourself, and please, think logically, not emotionally.
If you had to pick an actor to play you in your life movie, who would you choose? Arnold Schwarzenegger without a doubt, he is jacked and has an incomparable voice!
Turn Ons: Physically, you have to be in shape. If you don’t respect your body, the only item you will own for your entire life, how can you respect anything else in your life, including me?
Mentally, you have to have an open mind. I’m the type of person who wants to adventure every possible situation just to see if you’ll enjoy it or not. Obviously with some exceptions, you wouldn’t catch me doing meth on a Saturday night. Overall, BE YOURSELF! Oh, and I am a sucker for curly hair. Let them curls loose, girl.
Turn Offs: Girls who drink all the time, who aren’t motivated, and who don’t have GREAT personal hygiene!
Who’s your man crush? Don’t act like you don’t have one. I had to Google his name… Cam Gigandet from the movie Never Back Down.
Guilty pleasure: I am a sleepaholic! I can sleep forever, but every time it happens I get frustrated because it feels like my whole day is gone.
If you could be a girl for a day, what would you do? Dress sexy and see what kind of lame pickup lines I get.
What’s the first thing you would buy for someone else if you won the lottery? I would buy my parents a pimped out RV so they would be able to retire and travel the world. I owe much of what I am capable of doing because of them.
Favorite fall fashion piece on a lady: Yoga pants are a given, but I guess a pair of nicely taken care of UGG boots, they make girls feet look cute! If the boots are super dirty, that usually says something about you. Just sayin’…
What’s the most romantic thing you’ve done for a girl? So far, I haven’t brought out the big guns yet. If you waste all your ammo when you’re young, there won’t be anything left when you’re older. Plus, there’s no way I am giving away my secrets! If you’re my special someone, you will see them for yourself.
Where would we find you on a Friday night? Probably on my couch relaxing from a hellish week, I’m not much of a partier. I definitely love having people over to chill, but there’s no way I would sleep on the ground or couch instead of my bed on one of the few days I get to sleep in.
How would you “woo” your dream girl? Surprise her with a vacation to somewhere she has dreamed of going for years. Whether that be a spontaneous road trip or if requires me to save up money to take her somewhere really special. Anywhere she wanted to go would be within my reach. If she’s the right girl, she’s worth it.
What motivates you? Caffeine is my savor, but the ultimate means of motivation is happiness. Someday I want to be able to give my family all that they could ask for in life. Money definitely DOESN’T motivate me. Don’t’ get me wrong, it’s nice to have, but it can also complicate things.
What do you look for in a relationship? That is, if you’re even interested in one at the moment. The most important thing in a relationship is trust; if you don’t trust someone, it’s not going to work. If you are constantly worried about what I am doing, it’s only going to push me away. I am one of the least jealous people you will ever meet in your life, and I am a true believer that people should be in your life only for positive reasons. If you are a negative, I will most likely exclude you from my life. Relationships are something that must be worked on every single day, if one person stops trying, then there will be dissatisfaction on at least one end. Symbolically, a relationship needs to be a two-way street, not a highway and a bike path.
Favorite movie: Inception! I have watched it over ten times, and it still blows my mind.
If you could go back in time and give freshman Marc some advice, what would it be? I don’t have any regrets, but staying involved in competitive soccer would be number one.
What are the first three things you notice about a girl? 1. Your smile, it can tell you a lot about someone, & nice teeth are always a plus! 2. Your body! It’s impossible not to look… 3. How outgoing you are, I love girls who talk a lot, but only if it’s interesting! No one likes to be bored.
Celebrity Crush: Jennifer Aniston! Even after all these years, she’s still got it going on!
What can a girl do to get your attention? A girl who doesn’t act like someone she isn’t, and a girl who is willing to work her butt off in everything she does. Ambition and a work ethic are the sexiest traits a girl can have.
Post-graduate plans? I plan on mastering in nutrition and then moving to Colorado as soon as I can! I want to be snowboarding and adventuring the mountains every chance I can get.
Why do you think you’re a catch? I’m a very driven person; I work my butt off in every aspect of my life. I admire every relationship I have, and work very hard to maintain and improve each relationship. I’m not cocky, but I am confident in what I am capable of doing. If you make me happy, I will share that happiness with you.
