Total Keeper Alert

“I’m an extremely hard and passionate worker,” says Yearby. “I’m a giver who almost never looks for anything in return. I believe everyone is equal and I believe women should be treated like royalty every day with the least amount of stress as possible.”

Love Hard

Um, get ready to gush. When Yearby’s in love, he goes all out. “I’m old school; I believe a woman should never open her own door or ever have to carry anything heavy,” he shares. “I’ll wash and blow dry her hair, scrub her body and feet, paint her toes and even feed her in bed. I wouldn’t be forcing myself to do these things. I would simply be doing what my heart tells me to do.  I love hard, thus I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her pleased and show her she means everything to me.”

Stay Humble

“Every material thing God blesses me with, whether it costs $5 or $5000, I’m truly thankful for,” insists Yearby. “I treat it like it means the world to me because there are those who live without every day.”

Kitchen Master

“I can cook anything you could think of even if I never cooked it before,” says Yearby. “The new things may or may not come out the best, but I will eventually master them.”

Work At It

“At present, I am educated, financially sound and struggle free,” says Yearby. “But, if I have to work three jobs to make something happen, I will.  I just get it done. No excuses!”

Keep On Pushin’

Yearby admits he didn’t have it easy as a child, but the jokes on his bullies now. “People said I was the ugliest and darkest kid with the worst name,” he shares. “I sat the bench in just about every sport I played until my last two years of high school.”

His Kind of Lady

Yearby appreciates a beautiful woman with a brain who’s all natural and doesn’t feel the need to look like a different person when she walks out of the house.

Early Riser

“I had to start making money at age 12 to help my family out,” admits Yearby, who says his childhood wasn’t easy. “I cut grass, raked leaves, cleaned places, recycled cans, metal, copper, you name it. I did whatever it took.”
