... on HIMSELF

Chuck is a man who ... "works hard when it comes to working and very emotional and sensitive to women and the feelings of other people." 

Best Qualities: "Very caring, emotional, always into trying new things, outgoing." 

Strengths: "I care a lot for other people's feelings. I really don't show my emotions that much. I hold a lot of it in, but I really have a lot of emotions and feelings for people. I usually end up hiding a lot of it."

Weakness: "Sweets, ice cream or cheesecake."

Interests: "Play sports, football, basketball, hanging out with my friends, play pool, go out to bars, arcade games, work out."

Turn ons: "Money; a nice looking and fit girl; anything that is happening good in my life. I'm always in the moment."

Turn offs: "Bad attitudes; bad work ethic." 

Charities: Participated in Big Brother's celebrity charity bachelor auction in February, 2000."

Spirituality: "I pray a lot. I really believe in God, but I don't go to church or read the Bible like I should."

What touches my soul: "When I see someone in need being helped; people who are unfortunate, who don't have parents. It really touches me when I see fathers with their sons (because I lost my father at a young age). Taking the time to spend with their son or daughter, parent's really paying attention to their kids, that really touches me." 

How has growing up without a father affected you: "I've had to mature a lot faster than most guys my age."

... on WOMEN

Attention-getters: "Of course, it starts with looks. Everybody says looks don't matter but that's the initial thing that always works with anybody to get the attraction going unless you know someone. It usually happens that way, if they're good looking and then you get to know them and they have a bad attitude, then it's like OK, no. What gets my attention is someone who is similar to me, caring, who wants to do for others, that's the type of person who gets my attention." 

Ideal woman: "Someone with a good personality, nice smile, energetic, at times, not all the time. Just basically a woman who has her head on straight, has her job going for her, who is sweet and outgoing." 
Ideal date: "Dinner, dancing, movies." 

What makes a woman unforgettable: "The way she handles herself, takes care of herself. If she's a hardworking person, really keeps herself up, is never down on herself, is always positive about things. Something that really sticks out in my mind is if a woman is always positive about things."

I wish women understood ... "being that I'm shy, if a guy doesn't look at them or talk to them doesn't mean that they're a snob, gay or not interested, it could mean that they are shy. There are guys out there who are shy and a lot of women I know tend to pass over that perspective. Women should approach a guy." 

... on RELATIONSHIPS

On relationships/marriage: "I believe if I'm in a relationship, I want it to be right. I'll date, but I won't get involved in a relationship unless I know I'm ready to fully commit to that relationship. Like a job or anything else, I don't want to do something unless I can fully commit to what I'm doing. I would like to be married one day." 

Top relationship keys: "Being open with each other. If something needs to be said or wants to be said, say it, don't hold back, say what's on your mind. Just be very open with the relationship. If you tend to hold something back, it can lead to holding other things back and it can just really mess up a relationship. Be open and caring, that's about it, it's simple."

A woman in a relationship with me can expect: "me to be there when she needs me, when she needs to talk. I'll always be there to listen if there's anything on her mind. She can talk to me and I'm not going to judge her. I'm a very good listener. I make it really easy for women to open up and not worry about what am I going to think or say. Whenever she needs me, I'll be there for her." 

What I expect: "I don't expect a whole lot, just for her to be herself, be positive, open and don't hold anything back."

... on HIS FAVORITE THINGS 

Movie: "Heat."     

TV Show: "I used to like Men Behaving Badly."     

Food: "Pasta."

Music: "Dance."

Season: "Summer. You can do a lot more things in the summer, you're not as limited as you are in the winter. You can go outside, play sports, go water-skiing or just hang out."

... on LIFE

Making my mark: "By being a successful person in whatever I eventually accomplish for business-wise."

Valuable life lesson: "Never hold anything back that you want to say to someone because you never know if they're going to be around the next day or the next 30 minutes."

What I try to get out of life every day: "Happiness and money."

I must ...: "make money and take care of my mom and my family. That's my main goal, that's what is going to make me happy to be able to take care of my mom and sister. Family is the most important thing to me."

Best advice I've received: "People have always told me to go with my gut feeling and don't hold back and usually I'm pretty good if I don't hold back, don't worry about what the outcome is going to be, just do it."

... final THOUGHTS

Wheels: "Navigator." 

Pets: "I have a keeshond back at home in Dallas named Dakota."

Always in my refrigerator: "Nothing much, turkey breast, nonfat cottage cheese, eggs, water."

Hottest possession: "A ring that my mom got me a couple years ago. It's something to hand down. It means a lot to her so it means a lot to me."

Secret fantasy: "I have a fantasy about eventually making it in the acting business and have my own house and raise a family. That's what my main goal and dream is to be well-established career-wise and be able to raise a family."

Me, a deserted island and ... "my family and friends."

I'd like to change places for 24 hours with ... "no one - I'm happy with my life."

What makes me a great catch: "I'm a very emotional guy when it comes to women, probably more than most guys would be. I definitely open myself up a lot more when it's just me and a lady." 

Me in a word: "Energetic and caring."
