He Is Looking For These Qualities In A Woman
“If you have energy, you carry yourself with confidence, and you connect and have a conversation, you can see into their soul, you can really get a good feel,” he said on an episode of the MaleRoom in October 2019. “I think romance is a little bit of vulnerability, to be honest. You have to be willing to fail, but also I think sometimes you have to say, ‘Screw it,’ and take a chance, not really knowing what’s going to happen. If I could put it in one word, vulnerability is a level of romance. And at the end of the day, you have to have passion and love at the same time.”
