What does Harrison Solomon look for in a woman?
‘Personality is a big thing, so it depends who I vibe with in there,’ he says. ‘I need someone who is fiery and got a bit of an attitude. I don’t want someone boring in the corner. I want someone who has got a bit of substance and voices their opinion. Confidence, being family oriented is a big one for me and someone who is ambitious, too.’ He adds, ‘I like a challenge, I like a bit of the chase.’
‘Stuck up and rude’ ladies need not apply. And while they don’t have to be a footy fan, Harrison would like them to have a basic knowledge of the sport. ‘Girls I’ve dated before have been into it. My perfect situation is for them to come with my family, watch me play and understand – at least slightly – what’s going on.’
