... on HIMSELF

Best qualities: "My best qualities are my genuineness and my hard work ethic. I'm a big person on being positive and working hard at stuff. I think when you're positive and you work hard, that the thermometer will hit, it's going to happen and it's going to work out. I'm honest, fair and strive to make the right decisions."

Weaknesses: "I think my weaknesses are that I trust people too much. I can meet someone in one day and the next day I will trust them with my bank account. That's how I am, when I think someone is genuine ... I bank on it. But you just can't be like that "now-and-a-days," it will turn back and bite you!!"

Others may not see: "That I pretty much at all times think of the rights and feelings of others rather than my own. "

I've been known to ... "go commando!"

Interests: "Hunting, fishing, good music, exercise, good attitudes, and strong motivational moved people. I'm a nature guy, the South is where my heart is and where it's always going to be."

Turn-ons: "Brunettes, good legs, and passionate people."

Turn-offs: "Boasting, laziness, selfishness."

Special Talents: "God hunter, I'm a good writer, and I'm actually a good bongo player."

Awards, Titles: "I graduated from Troy University in May 2003 with a degree in Public Relations/Journalism and I was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity."

Charities: "I do charity work for the St. Jude's hospital, and the American Cancer Society."

15 minutes of fame: "I was on CBS's Survivor: Palau in in 2005. And season 11."

Spirituality: "I'm a practicing born again Christian with a strong southern Baptist background."

Fashion sense: "I get my fashion sense from Abercrombie, Gap, j.crew, and American Eagle."

Staying healthy: "I jog 5 days a week and do weights 4 days a week. I don't watch what I eat but I watch what I don't eat. I don't fried foods and I don't drink carbonated drinks, other than that I'm pretty much all game." 

What touches my soul: "When people admit they're wrong and learn something from it."

Luxury items on Survivor: "They dropped us off without anything but we all took one with us and I brought a Bible."

... on WOMEN 

I first notice ... "her hair. I like long, shiny, thick hair. That just automatically lets me know that they're classy and they take care of themselves."

Attention-getters: "By the way she looks at me. Sometimes you just know, I'm not trying to toot my own horn, when someone is checking you out. It's a look that you just see sometimes when you know that something's there. It's more of a look with feeling behind it."

Ideal woman: "Tall, brunette, and womanly body. I like a woman who comes from a moral background, not necessarily a religious background, but a right from wrong background. Basically, I like people who come from good strong families. I think when you already have the moral issue taken care of, it's going to help you out on down the road because when you get on down the road in a relationship and those issues aren't taken care of, that's when you start having problems. It can be minor communication but everything minor always leads to something major. So someone with good morals who comes from a strong moral background goes further than someone who doesn't have those qualities."

I can't resist a woman who ... "knows how to wear a dress. There's just a way to wear a dress. A lot of people can pull it off, a lot of people can't. A woman who knows how to wear a dress ... that's hard to resist. I like a woman who's confident, who knows she's the center of attention and knows she's the spotlight of the room. She knows it, she works it, she uses it. To me, that's hard to resist that woman because she's going to be number one if she's where you're at or not. She'd be number one at the party beside you. She'll be number one three hours away at that particular time just because she's got it and she's on top of it."

Most important quality in a woman: "Her heart."

Ideal date: "My ideal date is basically when all goes well. That means from the time you pick up your date to the time you take her home. From everything from the food, conversation, to the movie. I'm not all into going to a park and lying in rose petals. I think those kind of things are cheesy but I do think for the proper time that they apply that you have to include that in the relationship. I'm not a very cheesy person so I don't really go over the top in a lot of things I do. I may not know what an ideal date is but I dang sure know what a bad date is. So I think that anytime it's not bad, it's good."

What makes me call a woman back after a first date: "You just know to call a woman back sometimes. It's more of your gut, your instincts. You feel inclined by driven emotion or a driven reason to call her back. And she wants you to call her, you know that she wants you to call her back. There's nothing that anybody could do to make me want to call her, there has to be a connection, a hidden chemistry. It's just something that you feel sometimes. It's just something that you know."

I would never date a woman who ... "always talks about herself."

How I show I care: "I'm a big person in actions speaking louder than words. I think that every thing is teamwork. I show a woman I love her by going to the grocery store for her, washing her car for her, doing her laundry, cleaning up the house, picking up her dog from the kennel. Just doing things for her. A lot of people might say that's kissing somebody's ass but I think you do it because you love her. I promise I wouldn't do it if I didn't want to do it, I'm doing it because I care. And I feel like that's helping them out. A lot of people think that everything has to go straight back to the bedroom, and that is important in a relationship, because you've got to have that, but for me, I like to do stuff to help them out. I feel like if you date me, it's pretty much a vacation, if you want to know the truth. Don't worry about how you're going to get things done. I may not have much money, but what I got is yours. Don't worry about how you're going to pay the phone bill and stuff, it's done."

What makes a woman unforgettable: "A woman who is going to love you for what you can do but is going to love you for what you can't do too. They're going to love you no matter what. They're going to love you for what you're good at, they're going to love you for what you're not good at. No matter what. That's what's going to make me remember them."

I wish women understood ...  "just to accept things for how they are sometimes. Sometimes a woman's wondering why you're being weird, or quiet or something's not right. I think when things go bad, just to accept them how they are. That it is what it is and just to drop it. Some women and men, look too deep into stuff sometimes. I think sometimes when things are going bad or when you're having a bad day, I think that all of a sudden women look too deep into the situation and think OK he doesn't love me, or there's somebody else in his life or he's just being an asshole. I think when a situation goes bad, just move on, it's done. I don't think women forgive men enough. I think women have this big stigma that they just can't forgive a man. It happened three years ago that they kissed somebody at the bar, and they just can't get over it. I just think you just got to move on. I think forgiveness is a big part in a relationship. I think guys forgive a little easier, I do.

One thing a woman has never done for me yet: "I'm pretty easygoing and there's nothing that's never been done for me, I wish a woman would do. I hope there's things in the future, of course, we all want to be loved and we all want to be taken well care of all the time, of course. But I don't think there's anything that hasn't been done for me that needs to be done."

... on RELATIONSHIPS  

On marriage: "Marriage is a commitment and if you're not ready ... THEN DON'T DO IT!! When I'm in a relationship, I'm committed. I don't have any reason to go and figure out what else is out there or what's on the other side of the fence. There might be greener grass, but it won't be green for long. On relationships, to me, it's like this right here, if you're going to value something, then it's got to be important, it doesn't matter what it is. If you choose to value a relationship, well then value it. When you start messing up on something, you're going to mess up on other things in your life."

Top relationship keys: "Sacrifice and honesty."

A woman in a relationship with me can expect ... "to be on a 365 day a year holiday, if you ask me. When you're in a relationship with me, it is a holiday. I feel like I do everything from make you laugh to wash your car to pick up your clothes, do all the little things that always goes unnoticed a lot. I think what makes a relationship good is people who do cover the little things because you know we're going to cover the big things, you know we're going to send flowers for Valentine's Day, you know were going to remember your birthday, but what about the days before your birthday or after your birthday. What about the day when you did have a bad day at work or you did have a good day at work, what about those days? Those are the days that I always remember. I pay a lot of attention to a woman. I try to pay attention to the little things that aren't always paid attention to, like complimenting a woman, making sure that everything's OK on all spectrums of the relationship."

What I expect: "I expect honesty whether I like or whether I don't. When you start holding stuff back, it might not be an issue then, but six months down the road, it will be. I expect to be loved for what I can and for what I can't do because I know that's the way I'm going to be for a woman. 

When I'm in love, I ... "feel butterflies!! It's a feeling, an electric feel, it's just something that you feel, and you know it when you do, I promise you, there's no questions asked."

What makes me feel close to a woman: "The way a woman is honest with me makes me feel close to her because when you're apart mentally or physically it SHOWS!!"

Greatest relationship lesson: "Never think the grass the is any greener on the other side of the fence, I promise you it's not. It may look greener, it may taste greener, but you can pretty much count it gone. Basically going for another woman thinking your woman's not good enough it doesn't work. Don't ever drop a good woman to go for another good woman because its not going to work out."

What makes a woman marriage material: "Her upbringing and moral views (yes, morals are important). I'll be honest with you, for me, it is upbringing and morals, that's pretty much what I look at. To me, it matters how are we going to make this a good relationship. To me making a good relationship is when good morals and upbringing are involved."

... on SEX  

I feel my sexiest when ... "I feel like a woman's checking me out. That makes you feel pretty sexy or pretty good about yourself."

Most sensual part of a woman's body: "Her neck."

Sexiest thing a woman can wear in private: "NOTHING!"

Surefire way to seduce me: "Talk real nice to me!!!"

... on LIFE

Making my mark: "All I can do is try to be a good person, after that there's nothing you can do."

Responsibility to society: "To go out and make sure I give my all in "one-way-or-another," to society everyday."

Valuable life lesson: "NEVER TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED!"

I must ... "1) Climb the Appalachian trail. 2) Own my on business. 3) Work "hand-in-hand" with a nonprofit organization."

Best advice received: "When things do work out like you want them too, or if they don't work out like you want them too, in triumph or defeat, always remember, 'It is what it is'" --Bobby Drinkard (Father)"

Best advice I've given a woman: "Don't worry about me, I'll be just fine."

Hottest possession: "A picture of an old Indian sitting by his horse looking at a creek that I got at an arts and crafts show in Alabama. I got it when I was 14 and I still have it. He's worn out, his horse is worn out, you can tell he's been on a hard ride and he's got some long hard days ahead of him, but he's just kind of stopping and smelling the roses. I just think that sometimes no matter how busy or how bad things get, no matter how good things get, we just always got to take a little moment and just be thankful. Sometimes, I don't know who to thank but just say thank you. To me, that's my most positive and I take it with me wherever I go. I had it back home and I take it wherever I go. I got it now and I look at it every day. Always stop and smell the roses because you don't ever know what will happen. I'm real thankful for what I got and I'm real blessed, no matter the circumstances, situation, anything."

I would change places for 24 hours with ... "Tom Brady. I like Tom Brady because I think he's achieved a lot as a young man. He's very successful and he doesn't let it get to his head, to be honest."

To me, that's the kind of woman I like. She's just the perfect example of what I like. I don't know what kind of person she is, but physically and the characteristics of her, I like. She seems very charming and elegant and she's pretty. "

Me in a word: "Gentleman."
