Watch out ladies, this boy is single AND he’s got a cute new puppy named Norman! You can catch this smooth talker on the basketball courts, walking his pup, or adventuring around Oregon. Let me introduce you to the one-man comedy act, Ryan Benson.
Year: Junior.
Major: Business (Finance/Sports Business), minor in Psych.
Hometown: Born in Burbank. Grew up in Portland.
Relationship status: Single.
HCO: Describe your fashion style:
I enjoy mixing it up. I made the transition from mom picking out my clothes to me figuring it out on my own and it’s fun. I love shopping. Most comfortable in bball shorts or sweats, but when I go to work or out, I like to dress to impress with a nice collared shirt and some dope-ass pants. Don’t care where they are from, as long as they look good.
HCO: What is your best pick up line?
Want to meet my puppy, Norman?
HCO: Describe your biggest turn on and turn offs in a woman:
Turn ons:
- Passionate about something
- Pretty eyes
- Athletic
- Girls who take a second when you ask a question to give you a real answer
Turn offs:
- Gossip
- Dark colored nails
- Worrying about unimportant things
HCO: Who was your childhood idol and why:
Christopher Robin for a number of reasons. Parents let him explore the hundred-acre woods by himself. His best friend was Winnie the Pooh.
HCO: What are your feelings on the LULU app (if you know what it is):
If this is the thing where you can rate guys and make them profiles, then my feelings about it are: it’s creepy and makes me uncomfortable. I would rather just pretend it isn’t a thing and maybe it will go away. If it doesn’t, hopefully my “rating” is decent.
HCO: Boxers of briefs?
Always been a brief guy. An active lifestyle necessity.
HCO: Where do you see yourself in five years?:
Living in a big city like San Fran with a good job I can tolerate to pay for my expenses. Doing what I love on the side which is sports and going out on adventures with friends. I plan on being able to travel with my work so hopefully going overseas every once in a while.
HCO: Do you have a man crush? If so, explain why:
Ryan Reynolds. The guy has it figured out.
HCO: What are the top three things on your “bucket list”?
1) Go to the natty and WTD.
2) Be in the NBA.
3) Get a job overseas and learn the language.
HCO: Describe your perfect date:
I like trying new things and being taught stuff by girls. Going to a roller-blading rink or trying one of those bicycle bars where you pedal around to different bars while the driver steers is something I have wanted to try. After, get some food outside with some live music because live music is obviously great. Then end the night by making sure the dog gets his walk before bed.
HCO: Do you have any weird fetishes?
Personal question but I’ll share a little. By definition, a fetish is an erotic or sexual significance being projected onto some nonsexual object. Can’t really say that’s a thing for me. On the other hand, I do know when the Ducks score a TD I get pretty into it…Holding hands is chill too.
HCO: If you could explain yourself in one word what would it be:
GREGARIOUS.
