catch of the week // TOM GORMAN
our weekly peek at a fish in the KU sea
Ideal date: Something casual where we can throw off the pretense of pretending to be people we're not. I'd love to do something active like tennis, hiking or playing disc golf. Plus, if the girl doesn't like me she can just smash a ball at my face.
Interests: Boats, bars, beaches, beers, beards, bears and pirates.
Favorite quote: "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." — Dr. Seuss
Favorite food: General Tso's chicken from China House — It'll cure what ails ya!
Major turn offs: Bad hygiene, materialism and girls telling me about their wedding plans on our first date.
Major turn ons: Self-confidence, intelligence, a sailor's mouth and a pretty smile.
Notices first in a potential partner: First I notice things like how a girl dresses, if she smells good and how she carries herself. But I can also usually pick up pretty quickly on how intelligent she is, her sense of humor and whether she possesses the level of self control not to slap me if I get out of line. I'm not too worried about getting slapped though because I really am a nice guy, or at least that's what my mom says ...
Getaway: I'd love to go back in time and hang out with the dinosaurs. But if Mr. Fusion isn't working, then backpacking across Europe sounds like a swell alternative!
