Deric will be the first to tell you he hates when people sum him up as just a pretty face, consumed by superficial thoughts.
“I don’t feel like I get the respect that I deserve,” he reveals. “People already assume they know who I am. It’s usually some superficial stuff. That’s not me at all.”
Mickens built his gorgeous body from always being involved in sports. After four years of college football, he says he struggled to get down to sample modeling size. “I was too big for a lot of the commercial fashion modeling. I had to put the weights away.” Brawny or bulky, we like the looks of this disciplined dude.
“I consider myself picky,” Deric says about how he chooses to date. “You can’t just settle, that’s why people date and then break up.”
Here’s the list of what he look for in his lady:
“They have to be dedicated and passionate and definitely driven and intelligent so I can have real conversation with them. I’m very adventurous I like to randomly go camping … and I’m definitely into traveling. I want to see the world some day and I’d like someone who wants to see the world with me. I do have a goofy side, so I want someone who’s not 100 percent serious all the time… And someone who’s family-oriented”
