He emphasized wanting a woman who is genuine, kind, and not self-absorbed. While he’s open to meeting a beautiful woman, he’s clear that he values affection, kindness, and a heart for others above all else.
Grant also described himself as a “goofball” and stated that he’s looking for someone with whom he can truly connect on a deeper level. He expressed a desire to get to know the women beyond surface-level interactions, asking questions and allowing them to discover more about themselves throughout the process. His focus seems to be on emotional compatibility, and he’s hoping to find a genuine connection with the woman who stands out as his best match.
