Andrea and his brother, either one can be in my dreams! 😃 Since I’d not be expecting anything long term with a prince or royal family (and not with that royal family), I don’t mind that he keeps his mouth shut (or busy). 😃 ---

the kelly genes are very strong. thank grace! and give the poor fellow a break, he may as well have his hair long. as with uncle and granddad, he may not have hair for long. as far as talking goes, one could go with at least three languages. once you discuss the weather in english, french, and italian; you could move onto other activities. ---

[QUOTE=tdn] It’s interesting that for the most part, men assume that women want him based solely on his looks, while women either don’t like his type or want to know more about his personality. That speaks volumes about gender differences in priorities. [/QUOTE] I dunno, I thought Tikki said it pretty well: [QUOTE=Tikki] Excuse me while I go find something to drool in. [/QUOTE] ---

[QUOTE=DMark] Think this kid has ever had a problem getting a date? [/QUOTE] Well yes, the same problems all people face that are either very good-looking or very rich/famous. 1. That nagging uncertainty: " Do they like me for ME or for my looks/fame/money?" 2. Excess of choice: if both you and your (assumingly equally attractive dates) are so in demand that temptation for them, and for you, lurks at every corner, it will be a LOT more difficult to keep a relation good and solid for an extended period of time. Now, this guy is young, so perhaps this wouldn’t bother him much right now, but it may become a problem for him in the future when he starts looking to settle down, and it will certainly be a problem for his pretty sister. ---

With the long hair, no way. He has too many sharp angles, and anyway I prefer dark hair and clean-cut. And how the heck does someone introverted enjoy all those sports? Though to answer your question, no, I seriously doubt he has any problems getting a date. Unless he busts out the swatch watches at any point during the pitch. ---
