I was originally born in Belarus, but came here when I was 7. I play Football at a D3 school. I live in St. Louis but attend Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri.

I'm getting my degree in physical education and Psychology(with minor in coaching). I really want to coach high school ball, because coaching football is a huge passion of mine. I think I eventually want to attend grad school to become a high school councilor. But not just the kind that organize your schedule. The kind that can talk to you about your problems as well :).

I have a great sense of humor. I love to laugh and make others laugh. I think this makes me easy to talk to and easy to get along with. But believe it or not, not everyone loves me. I have a very argumentative personality. I love to debate about everything! Even if its not the way I feel about something, I will play devil's advocate. I think this comes from my competitive nature.

Debating and sports is something I am very competitive in. I am very open minded, and I always truly try to see both sides on every position. And some people really don't like this(LOL). But if you get past all that I am a really good listener, and (well at least I think) can give good advice.

I'm a big fan of television, but there just isn't that much time to watch anymore! ESPN, MSNBC, and FOX are the main channels that I watch. Sitcoms and entertainment shows are great, but when time is a factor they come last. I try to follow politics, which provide plenty of humor and drama. Some of my favorite shows are Hardball, O'Riley Factor, and Daily Show.

I also really like music. Definitely don't play any instruments, I'm more into listening and trying to sing along. I really like Rap and R&B(but can appreciate anything if it's truly good). I'm not really into the commercial dance music thats not about anything. I like the deep stuff that tells a story and/or actually has a message.

I can be loud and obnoxious, but if you can get past all that you'll see I can be a very chill and caring person. I don't smoke or drink. When people meet me, they actually don't believe me, or think I'm drunk right there(lol).

I think that would I look for in a girl says a lot about me as a person.

Qualities I like in a girl (In no particular order):

Conversation- Being able to hold one is soo important! I am a big talker and without this, everything else really does not matter. I did say "no particular order" but this one is by far #1

Athletic- A girl who likes to play sports with me and my boys, or can beat me at a sport is attractive to me..I'm very competitive, and if a girl can hang with me at a sport that would be very detrimental to my pride. So I would love that challenge.

"Nice Girl"- I'm not really into sl**ty girls, a girl who wants to take it slow works for me. But everyone makes mistakes. And unless you killed someone, the past is the past.

Argumentative -I would love a girl who could consistently beat me in debates, or at least hang in there. Somebody who thinks they can outwit me is something I look forward to. Being a very argumentative person, I would love that challenge. This does not mean picking personal fights for no reason. That would actually suck. lol

Sense of humor-I love to laugh, and someone who understands my humor would be great!

Being into sports and/or politics - I really enjoy watching sports, especially football. Following politics is something that I really enjoy as well. I would love if a girl shared any or both of those interests with me.

Self Confidence-can't explain why, but this is a big turn on!

Independence-I'm all for women’s rights, and against gender roles(to an extent). I really like when a woman has a passion in life, and does not see womens "roles" in society in the old fashion way. Drive and determination are very attractive qualities in a woman.

Absolute Nos-Cheaters, Liars, Racists, Hard drug users(If not abused Marijuana is okay), Smokers, Excessive Drinking(I don't really care about drinking, but if it's alcoholism I don't want any part of it)

-3 things that make me stop reading a profile(no matter how good it is to that point) are Smoking, Some indication of that person's life being being primarily about alcohol, and kids.

I don't have a specific thing I would want to do. Ideally I would want to do something where we would get to have a conversation and get to know each other. Movies are fun, but u don't really get to talk, so that's like a second or third date kind of thing. A sporting event would be fun, as would something that ends with a long walk.
