catch of the week // PAT NEWSUM our weekly peek at a fish in the KU sea.
Main hobbies: I enjoy participating in the
geek community, be it social events or taking
a position in my fraternity. Living with a large
Ideal date: It's hard to say, I'd have to say something romantic, surprising and most likely to involve eating sushi. Above all else though, she'll let me pay without a fight.
group of guys is more or less a way of life in all honesty, so I want to make the most of it while I can in these four years. I know golfing is a cliché but I have been playing since I was a little kid, so it's relaxing. I love the outdoors, so it's a great excuse to get outside for hours at a time.
Favorite quote: "Success and nothing else." I think Snoop Dogg said this.
Favorite food: String cheese because it can divide and multiply.
Major turn off: I feel like some members of the opposite sex are here just to be social and don't have a real focus. I think of myself as a motivated individual, so if someone doesn't have a similar drive I find it hard to connect with them. I guess it comes down to who I identify with, and those who don't really have a major that acts as a means to an end for their goals confuse me.
Major turn on: Playing hard to get. It's all kind of a game, isn't it? I like it because they most likely are confident enough in themselves that they are willing to be impressed. I like that for some
reason — it's like a competition and is fun for both parties involved. Besides, women know what they are doing. They aren't dumb. I am fine with the chase if I think that girl really has a lot to offer, but just wants someone to earn their respect. Although I wonder if the feeling is mutual ... maybe I am just constantly getting played. Who knows?
Notices first in a potential partner: I notice height and hair color because that's really the first thing guys just sort of pick out. I am not someone with a perfect body type in mind or anything like that. All shapes and sizes have their own beauty. I guess the way a girl handles herself is what I really try to pick out first. If she carries herself well it expresses a sense of confidence.
Getaway: I think it is important to take time to slow your world down at times. Running is my favorite way to burn off the stress and also to get away for awhile. You feel good about yourself afterwards, and I like staying healthy so it's the best of both worlds for me.
