J.J. Watt can seemingly do everything, except find true love

Life as an NFL superstar isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Sure, there are millions of dollars and fame to be had, but sometimes all a gigantic human wants is a cuddle.

In an interview with NFL.com, defensive end J.J. Watt opened about about how he wants just that. Someone to cuddle with, or more to the point, a committed relationship. Awww.

“People [I know] think that I’ve never dated before, or whatever, but I’m trying. I’m trying. I’m just unsuccessful. My schedule’s so crazy and life’s so busy, it just hasn’t worked.”

Been there, bro. While it’s easy to look at Watt and assume he has no problem getting girls, finding true love has proven to be a challenge.

“You don’t know who wants you for you, who wants you for the money, who wants you for the fame. You have no idea. And how would you know? There’s no way. So that’s why you try and rely on family and friends.”

:(

We love you J.J. and you deserve all the love in the world! So we hereby give all the single ladies of the world the Top 5 reasons J.J. Watt would make a great boyfriend.

Reason No.1:

He is not afraid to dance! Let J.J. whisk you away in the romance that is music, let the rhythm take control! Clearly age is no issue, either. Watt appreciates all the beautiful women of the world. Swoon.

Reason No.2:

He is not adverse to some Katy Perry, which means you both can enjoy the sweet/awful sounds of her music together.

Reason No.3:

Children love him and he loves them back! This guy has a big heart and is never afraid to put the kids first! (Obvious Father of the Year potential).

Reason No.4

J.J. most likely will love to “Netflix and Chill,” provided you enjoy re-runs of Friends, that is. Like all the damn time. If you can get past his crush on Jennifer Aniston, you may find yourself as the next Mrs. Watt.

Reason No.5:

Lastly, he will most likely wash the dishes like this ...

Gulp. Soooo ladies ... any takers?
