Aaron Schock: I Can't Get A Date!

Details:

Huffington Post's Hottest Freshman, 27-year-old Republican Rep. Aaron Schock, is profiled in the May issue of Details magazine. The piece covers his Doogie Howser-like smarts and his conservative voting record, but perhaps the most schock-ing (sorry) revelation is the congressman's claim that despite all the media attention he's been getting, he still can't get a date. Read the excerpt below or the full article here. The May issue hits newsstands next week.

Schock is hoping his romantic prospects will improve too, once he settles in. He's the only one of his siblings not married with children, and is similarly an outlier among his friends. "I had a group of five or six guys, and we hung out and traveled--ski trips and stuff," he says. "They slowly got picked off--married, married, married." His pals try not to dog him about his love life. "I think he's got enough pressure as it is," says Shea Ledford, a concrete worker who's been Schock's good friend since high school. Indeed, there's been enough speculation about Schock's confirmed-bachelor status that, as far back as 2004, a Chicago newspaper asked him whether he was gay (his response: "No . . . I'm not."). But D.C. receptions and fund-raisers where the other attendees are, as Schock notes, "two and three times my age" hardly make for a ripe pickup scene. Neither do the baby-kissing events back in Illinois. "There's no line of young ladies at my door every morning," he says. "Maybe when they read my Details profile . . . "

So does that mean it was all men who voted him as most sexy whatever freshman congressman? Where are all the women who voted for him. Someone like shock must always have a friend who knows somebody who wants to be fixed up. Sounds very suspicious.

Stephen Colbert interviewed him as part of his "know your district" series, and the guy came off as humorless and not too bright.

Also, he has the usual ugly Republican political stances. The I am against the stimulus, but I want the money for my district stuff, ALL the rest of it. So the 60% of women or so in the US who are NOT republican would never give this guy a shot and in his age group, that number is even less. I bet this guy would be way too rod-up-his-a$$ for Meghan McCain. So the problem may be he needs to loosen up and asking a republican to do that is like asking him to find new skin.

I hate to say this, because the gentleman is so attractive and really sounds nice, but do you think it's because he's Republican that he can't get a date?

And what about Meghan McCain? She' s cute as can be and is really showing her mettle, that one. Proving to be smart and tough.

Aaron Schock, schock-ing (sorry) revelation is that the congressman still can't get a date.
I seem to have heard this "can't get a date" story before ... from Meghan McCain.

Does HufPo want to do a little Cupid corner?

[LeftLeanWing]

Maybe he needs to start with some discreet booty calls.

[DrJohnnySkeptic]

Remember - he is a conservative.

[Dianedp]

Quick, someone call Meghan McCain!

[jeliz]

I agree. She was gushing over him.

[quindy]

Change the party and you'll get as many dates as you wish from girls and boys.

Hey Aaron, maybe you are just looking at the wrong letter of chromosome in your date search ...

Try the double X variation ...

[nico89]

Or not.....I may be dem on the streets...­but for him i'd be repub in the sheets.

[ladyluck 27]

ROTFL! I'm stealing that one :)

[ranchero42]

Get a dog, the man said.

[EllaBee]

WTH! Are you serious. Awww, he's so adorable. I just don't think I could date a Republican though...l­ol.

[ankae]

I agree


I am very open minded but this will take it to a whole new level! Aaron I am willing to try...give me a call It could be fun if you dated someone from the left......­..

[Jeanette Ponder]

Meeeeeh...­I dated a Repub. He's was fundamentally dishonest and untrustworthy, and not very giving. That can happen on both sides of the aisle, but I don't think I'll be journeying down that road again any time soon!

[CR46]

LOL!!! I hear you!!! When dating my husband he was a little worried that he was a few yrs older and anxious when going to meet the family.I just told him the only thing they will ask about was if he was a democrat or not(he thought I was kidding) He was a dem, but 5 family members did ask him!!

[impatient]

Can I get your family to adopt me?

I have 2 brothers who are engineers, and I swear it must be some oath they take when they get their engineering degrees-----they are all obnoxious hard core repubs.

They even love Rush Limbaugh.

I feel totally sick when I think about it......
