Marcus’ revelation adds a new layer of depth to his relationship choices.

He also underlined that he likes women with curves.
In his own words, Marcus confessed:
“I have always dated a little older than me. But I blame my brother for that because when I was young I would always hang out with my brother who was two years older than me. So I always felt mature…hanging around older people.”[3 min]
