## Profile

* Occupation: earthmoving machine operator
* Residence: Hamburg
* What makes you a perfect Islander?
	+ I'm easygoing - a nice guy. I'm joking, like to joke and usually make others laugh.
* Are you ready for the big love?
	+ Actually yes. If the perfect woman stands in front of me, I'm absolutely ready to fall in love.
* If you could choose: 100k more insta-follower or big love?
	+ I would choose the great love because it is something unique. What can you do with 100k followers? Personally, social media is not that important to me.
* How do you rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 10?
	+ I am 8 to 9.
* What's your best feature?
	+ My sympathetic charisma and my size - I am 1,95m.
* What is your best | worst property?
	+ I am always positive. My worst quality, that's hard to say. I am sometimes picky. Even when it comes to little things, everything must be perfect and tidy.
* If you could choose it, which headline would you like to read about?
	+ "Roman finds his love at Love Island, which stands up to the real world."
* How do you like the current girls from Love Island?
	+ Melissa I think is pretty nice. She always says what's on her mind and does not pretend. That irritates me about her. Besides, she looks great and says something. In terms of appearance, I also like Ricarda and Samira or the new Icelandic Lina.
* How do you rate your reputation for dating and relationships?
	+ I have always been honest and direct, always addressing the things that went against my grain. But there are certainly two women who have invested more in the relationship than me.
* Why are you single?
	+ I have not found the perfect lid yet. I have been single for almost two years now.
* How loyal are you to other men?
	+ In the closest circle of friends, to snatch someone away from the woman is an absolute no-go. Related to Love Island: If I like a girl, then I want to meet her too. I would go for it, because they are only vercoupelt.
* How far are you going on the first date? Or what is an absolute NoGo for you?
	+ I'm not the type of immediate body contact during the first date. I prefer to spend a few days and wait for the perfect moment. It just matters to me that the woman feels good. I'm a little romantic who likes to light a few candles.
* How far would you go at Love Island? Could you imagine having sex in the house?
	+ I let everything come to me and then I will see. I think that must show the moment. I let myself drift and surprise myself.
* How long did your longest relationship last before Love Island?
	+ 3 ½ years.
* Which type of woman do you become weak?
	+ I do not have a concrete type. Visually, I like brunette, but if she does not attract me in character, then the woman is not interesting to me. If a blonde with a sweet character would stand in front of me, then I would definitely want to get to know her.
