Michael B. Jordan Tells Glamour Magazine About Dating Preferences

“Fruitvale Station” was one of our favorite flicks of 2013 and we’ve been fans of Michael B. Jordan even before that, so we were excited to see that Glamour interviewed him alongside his “That Awkward Moment” costars Zac Efron, 26 and Miles Teller, 27 for their latest issue.

Peep game below, via Glamour:

How do they really feel about sex on the first date? The whole friends-with-benefits thing? Dealing with a breakup? Their advice for navigating it all—in 2014 at least—is here.

Glamour: So what’s really awkward about dating for you guys? Asking a girl out? The first kiss?

Zac: The awkward thing for me is when the realization happens that I actually might like this girl. Then I become awkward.

Glamour: In the movie, your characters talk about “hitting the check boxes.” What are your dating check boxes?

Miles: I love wit. I have to be able to have a conversation with her.

Zac: The most important thing for me is honesty. Just be honest and up-front. I think that’s the hardest.

Michael: I’ve got different lists depend- ing on what I’m looking for. Is it the past-12-o’clock-in-the-morning list? Then my checklist is a little shorter.

Glamour: What’s on that list?

Michael: Two legs. Pulse… [Laughs.]

Glamour: OK then…and what’s on your list for the girls you want to date?

Michael: A sense of humor. And I want a woman who is comfortable in the kitchen. I’m old-school about stuff like that.

Zac: It’s impossible to say. I think every single girl has something different and special about her. You find one who clicks with your vibe. Fate brings people together.

Glamour: You really believe that?

Zac: It happens. But I think the most important thing for me in a relationship is honesty. In the beginning, sometimes girls don’t show their genuine personality.

Michael: We have trust issues!

Glamour: Sometimes we girls need a manual to you guys. So let me ask you the eternal “are you going to respect me if we have sex on the first date?” question.

Miles: Yes.

Michael: No. No. Maybe…but a little less.

Miles: Well, I will.

Zac: Sex is a beautiful thing. I don’t object. [Laughs.]

Glamour: Last advice to women trying to find the right guy?

Zac: Smile.

Miles: But don’t try to be cute. You’re cute when you’re not trying to be cute.

Michael: Don’t try too hard. Either you’re the right girl or you’re not.

He likes his women in the kitchen though. Hmmmmm.

Did this interview turn you off on Michael or are you still into him?
