Who’s the manly guy in short shorts and tank top shirt? That guy, fellow Famewatcher, is Brooks Forester. He is one of the contestants of the upcoming season of The Bachelorette starring Desiree Hartsock. Before he joined the reality TV show, he worked (maybe he still does) for Fit Marketing which describes him as follows:

An adventurer, athlete and model in his spare time, Brooks brings vision and class to our team. He knows how to treat people right, and that’s why he is the perfect person to introduce Fit Marketing to the world.

An adventurer, athlete, and model? What’s not to like? Here are some of Brooks’ modeling photos courtesy of Duston Todd (dustontodd.com).

What a sexy geek.

Want some pictures that make you go, “Hmmmmmm.” These pics prompted our friend Kevin to ask the “Is he gay?” question. What do you think? Is he? Our friends at gay-or-straight.com have yet to weigh in on the issue which is understandable because Brooks is fairly new in the public eye.

How cute are these two?

What do you hope to get out of participating in this television show?
I feel it is a great experience. I acknowledge the reality that I may not fall in love. However, crazy things have happened. As in, you never know. Maybe I do. That’s an okay bet for me. Nothing to lose — everything to gain. I hope to make some friends along the way. If I am here, I might as well connect with others.

How important is your family’s approval to you when it concerns dating a certain someone?
Pretty important. You don’t just marry the girl, you marry the family.

What do you do for a living, and how important is your career to you?
I feel that we get caught up in defining who we are by what we do. I am not so concerned with the perception of others. If my work becomes dull or boring but is prestigious, I’ll change it.

If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why? How would you use it?
To learn things, new skills, etc at a moment’s notice. I would use it to put together new public policies — reshape the way we look at approaching the world and its available resources — and go on Jeopardy!and beat Watson (the computer) finally resolving the Human vs. Robot argument.
