Nyle DiMarco got candid about the qualities he looks for in an ideal boyfriend in an interview with Attitude Magazine.

“Probably men who are athletic, who like the gym, love food and travel. That’s it, I’m a simple guy,” DiMarco, 28, says.

The “America’s Next Top Model” and “Dancing with the Stars” winner also explained why he finds the label “sexually fluid” fits him better than “bisexual.”

“I think the difference is bisexuality means you’re interested in both, but I think for me there are certain times in my life where I feel that certain attraction toward one type or another,” DiMarco says. “When I first read about sexual fluidity, it was the first time I felt a connection. I don’t know why it spoke to me, but it’s something that defined who I was.”

DiMarco came out as sexually fluid in 2015.
