Scottie, 23

What are you doing in Portland?
I am currently working at Abercrombie and Fitch.

I bet that gets you a lot of dates.
I work with some cute girls, but that's it. Just working. They're too young.

What's your ideal age range?
I would say twenty to maybe twenty-five. If they're too young, it's just harder to hold a conversation. I work around them, and I know what they talk about.

What do they talk about?
Inappropriate shit.

Justin Bieber?
That, and how cool they think it is to party.

Are you single?
Yes.

Do you prefer being single or being with someone?
Both are really enjoyable, but I think I've always been more of a relationship guy. I enjoy the company of one person more than a bunch of random people.

How do you meet people?
I do better if they know me a little bit before, or ahead of time. Maybe through friends. I don't know, I'm a nice guy and I'm funny. I'm a big dancer. I don't really like being in bars. I really like to dance, when I've had a few in me.

Something I've always wondered about: when you're talking to a girl at the bar, what makes you decide to buy her a drink?
If you think you need to. Maybe she's soberer then you. Maybe you think she'd be impressed by you buying her a drink. Maybe she'd rather drink instead of go dance. You've got to read the situation.

So it has to benefit you?
Yeah, definitely. Unless she's a close friend, or she bought me a drink first.

Have you ever asked a girl what she's wearing, when you're on the phone with her?
I actually say that a lot.

What's the best response?
The best answer's probably a towel, and they say they just got out of the shower.

Can you say it like they would say it?
No!

Go ahead, try. I'm typing this up anyway.
[in a soft whisper] "I just hopped out of the shower... I haven't put anything on yet..."

Is that what you like to wake up to, too?
Yeah. I mean, I don't prefer to sleep naked myself. I sleep with my dog. Not with women over, though. I don't sleep naked, but I invite women to, by all means.

Do you take your socks off first?
I wear tube socks, and they look really bad, so yeah.

Has the dog park been a good place to pick up girls?
Honestly, since I've had him, I haven't done well.

It's supposed to be the opposite!
I know. It's probably me.

NEXT: "I'd probably tell him that I wasn't wearing a whole lot, and I expect him to be home in ten minutes or I'd start without him..."
