- Well that's kinda hot, not gonna lie.
- Yeah a lot of people think so.
I think so.
- It's just like the adventure in women is
what I really like strive to see in her, and you know,
the willingness to kind of go against the grain,
like that's kinda what I like.
I think, just, you know, the more extreme the better.
- Relationships working out or not working out,
there's never a failure. That's an opportunity for growth.
And so, every bad thing that happens and every breakup
usually means somethings better's around the corner.
So, you know, if you've had the perfect cookie cutter life,
you may not have that much in common, but be open minded.
You don't want to hate on someone for having it easy.

I am a graphic designer.
I grew up in Lafayette Louisiana.
And my cultural ethnic background is Welsh,
and I'm French Cajun.
So yeah, I got a lot of Cajun background as well.
All my mom's side is as Cajun as it gets.
- Yeah my great grandmother's name was Louisiana.
- Oh really?
- Yeah we did the DNA test thing
and my family has been here for like hundreds of years.
Came from Nova Scotia, came back all the way down.
- Oh nice. Yeah, everyone thinks I'm a little Scandinavian.
- Very cool. Lafayette cool.
Spent some time there, got an ex from there.
- Okay
- Do you live here?
- Yes I do. Just recently moved here so-
- From Lafayette?
- No, actually I've been traveling abroad
for a couple of years, so finally making it back home.
- Oh very cool, I like to travel too.
- So you're a private chef, which is pretty incredible.
I like culinary exploits as well,
and I'm very much into cooking,
especially like Cajun cuisine.
- What's your best dish?
- I actually have a great grandmother who has
a chicken recipe that's pretty amazing,
so I tend to make that every once in a while
for a special occasion.
- I love that dish
- Yeah I like all the kind of classics.
- Very cool, very cool.
- Food just plays a really large role in my entire life.
Like, I'm an aspiring personal chef,
and I really like love the Cajun cuisine
that I've surrounded myself with all my youth.
I really only cook for women that I really, like, like.
And am looking to make a really good first impression with.
If I can't find a women that can eat then
I really don't think that it's gonna work out.
- I love cooking for people. That's why I like to cook.
I don't cook that much for myself.
It rarely happens when people do offer to cook for me.
I'm really excited. Really just because it's sweet,
and it takes a bit of courage to cook for a chef.
Your childhood nickname was Bubba.
You are more likely to date sweethearts
over a bad boy or girl.
If you had to give up one of your senses,
I think you'd give up hearing.
And the most spontaneous thing you've ever done?
I say like a last minute trip somewhere,
you just were like I'm gonna jump on that plane and go.
And your opinion of the best food in New Orleans is:
Jambalaya.
- So, my childhood nickname and still to this day is happy.
I am most likely to date bad girls.
If I had to give up one of my senses it would be hearing.
You know, not hear all the nonsense that's going on.
And the most spontaneous thing I've ever done is
a very spontaneous trip, I moved to Australia,
and then moved out to Iceland for a while.
And the best food in New Orleans is the Po' boys.
So, you're childhood nickname was Lucy Goosey.
You're most likely to date bad boys.
If you had to give up one of your senses,
you would give up hearing as well.
And the most spontaneous thing you've ever done is
a road trip to California.
The best food in New Orleans for you is the gumbo.
- Nice.
My childhood nickname is lulu actually, it's a nickname.
So, legal name's Lauren.
- Ah
- No one calls me that
- I didn't know we were going with legal names here
- I am more likely to date the bad boy/girl sitch for sure.
If I were to give up one sense I would give up smell.
Just think it'd be the easiest practical wise
to continue with life.
Even though it does take a lot of your taste away.
The most spontaneous thing I've ever done was
kind of like a last minute trip,
I ended up going to standing rock,
so that was like a few days,
and I was like yeah let's just do it.
So that was interesting.
The best food in New Orleans is boiled crawfish.
It's my favorite food, so.
Crawfish if it's in season, and then shrimp.
- I'm a huge sucker for a turkey po' boy.
- That's not a po' boy, that's called a sub.
- Ah, right right right, well, I don't know,
turkey po' boys are just kind of like
a childhood thing for me,
- You got some attachments there.
- I lived off turkey sandwiches for a long time,
and still to this day, I think I can live on them.
- Nice.
- That's funny you say you'd give up your sense of smell,
I figured being a chef you would want to kind of
keep all of your taste and your smell.
- Yeah I know, but like, I'm so good at cooking
that I could do it without.
But, I could not do without music.
- Okay, I agree with that.
- I can't play it, I can't sing,
but I do have a music business degree,
so I used to work in that industry before cooking.
- Very nice.
So you said you do like bad boys and girls?
Is that a little bit of an interest for yourself as well?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bisexual.
- Yeah, a little bit curious?
- Not curious. Full on.
- That's kind of hot, not gonna lie.
- Yeah, a lot of people think so.
I think so.
I get men that are like, really into it,
like in a creepy way, like "Oh yeah",
it's like oh Jesus take the wheel.
The past few years I've gravitated towards women more.
Emotional intelligence is like pretty high on my list
of things I'm looking for.
Not to make a generalization,
but I find that women get there a little sooner then men.
And they're better kissers.
- I definitely find that women are more mature than men.
I have exclusively dated straight women, as far as I know.
That's kind of been a constant throughout the life.
Having children is not important to you.
You do not believe a strict upbringing is key for children.
I think you would, you know,
have a more loose ideal on that.
Two most important things you need in a relationship are:
Compassion and freedom.
And the deal breakers in your relationship are
they are a cat lover.
- Wow, okay.
Having children is important to me.
I'd like to have some kids, in some fashion.
I do believe in a strict upbringing,
but I think maybe my idea of strict
and the conventional idea of a strict upbringing
probably differ,
but I do believe that children definitely need boundaries.
Two most important things in a relationship,
that I need in a relationship, is honesty and humor.
And my deal breakers.
Bad hygiene.
Dishonesty.
Not having ambition.
And Trump supporters.
So, for you.
Having children is important.
I think you're probably in the middle of being
a strict parent or not.
Two most important things that you need for a relationship
is mutual respect, and someone who is adventurous,
and would like to travel with you.
And your deal breakers would be
someone your family doesn't like,
And someone who doesn't have the same kindness you have.
- All right, well.
Having children is not important to me.
I think my sisters are gonna go ahead and give me
all of the nieces and nephews that I'd ever want so.
I do not believe strict upbringing is key to children,
but strict is kind of relative.
I think that, you know,
sticking to your guns is kind of important,
I know that that's what my parents did with me
and I came out all right.
And two most important things I need in a relationship
are honesty and humor.
And deal breakers for me are
if my family doesn't like the person,
that's kind of a deal breaker.
Also, if someone's not comfortable eating around me.
- That's a thing?
- Yeah, I've had relationships in the past where like,
they just don't like to eat a lot around me
and it just weirds me out.
- Maybe they just don't eat much.
- Could have been the case but regardless it was weird.
Lulu, when I first saw you I said I would date you.
And now that I've gotten to know you,
I still would date you.
All right
- Hampton, when I first saw you,
I said that I would not date you.
After getting to know you, I said that I would date you.
- All right
- First impression was really that bad?
- No, you know honestly, I'll tell you exactly what it was.
I have a rule about beards.
- Oh, that's what it is.
- It had nothing to do with anything else besides that,
but after getting to know you,
I think we do have a fair amount in common,
I do feel your kind spirit, and you like to laugh,
and I love to laugh, and you seem like a really great guy.
- Thank you, I feel the same way about yourself.
- I'm a great guy.
- All right, you want to get out of here?
- My hands are sweaty, but yeah let's do it.
I try not to judge people, but I really liked hearing
what his first impressions were of me were.
Because you just never know what people are thinking.
- I didn't really think I looked like a Jason, I don't know.
Now I'm rethinking everything.
And yeah, it was very interesting to dive into something
that you don't know how deep it is.
First date? I think we might have to plan a little bit.
- Last time you went on a first date what did you do?
- I went to a concert.
- I broke into an abandon amusement park.
It was fun. High risk, high risk.
- She's tryna one up me right here.
- I am, did it work?
