01
Beauty and Brains

Oren is the creator of popular men’s lifestyle blog UnbiasedWriter.com.

“The reason I started my blog is because when I graduated from USC I was working with Ford modeling and they placed me in New York," explains Oren. "My parents were on top of me about getting a ‘real job’. I started my blog because I figured if I was going to continue to model I needed to do something where I could make money while I’m traveling and pretty much be anywhere.”

Pucker Up Baby

We’re loving those sexy lips on Oren. Who was the first lucky lady to get to kiss them? “My first kiss was in eighth grade, with this girl from my neighborhood, and we’d been hanging out a lot and it just happened,” Oren shares.

You’re Turning Me On

What makes a woman stand out to Oren? “Her smile,” he says. “I love a woman who has a great personality and loves to have fun. I think that’s awesome. A woman that smells great is always a big plus too.”

All Around Athlete

So what’s Oren’s secret to a perfectly chiseled body? It’s less abut the gym and more about staying active.

“I love to swim,” the beach bum admits. “I played volleyball in college, and growing up, my entire life I played basketball. It wasn’t until I got to high school and started getting recruited by schools for volleyball that I started to switch. I come from a really big basketball family. My mom played in college and my dad played in college and in the league. Basketball has always been the biggest thing in my life.”

Seriously Sexy

We’re loving Oren in those specs with that serious stare! Aren’t you? Just dreamy…

Ready for Love

Oren says although he’s single and “loving it”, right now, he’s definitely looking for something more serious the next time he settles down.

Can I Get to Know You Better?

If a woman wants to catch Oren’s eye in public, all she needs is personality and confidence. “She should just come up to me and talk to me,” Oren tells us. “I’m a real chill and laid-back person.”

My First Love

We asked Oren who was the first woman to ever steal his heart and he says she totally snuck up on him. “My first love was a girl I dated in college,” recalls Oren. “She also played volleyball at USC. It just happened out of nowhere. Before that I’d never really been in love. It was a pretty crazy relationship, and I learned a lot from it.”

Date Night

“I’d start off with dinner and from there a movie, or probably the beach,” Oren says when describing the perfect date. “I love going to the beach and just walking and chillin’. It’s my favorite thing about Los Angeles. It would give us time to just walk and talk and get to know each other better and bond.” Pick us up at 8, Oren?

The Future Mrs. Wilkes

If you want to be with Oren, you’ll need to be as down-to-earth as he is. “The most important thing in a relationship is someone I can vibe with,” says Oren, about what it takes for a woman to become Mrs. Wilkes. “I want her to by my friend and be loyal. I want to be able to see us spending a long time together. Plus, she has to have my back. That way we can work and build together.”

Man About Town

When he’s not modeling, or blogging, you can catch Oren dressed for success and out on the town. He admits to being quite the social butterfly.

Fast Learner

Oren started modeling his senior year of college and he’s already landing major endorsement deals.

New Heights

Standing well over six feet tall, Oren, and all his gorgeousness tower over the ladies. This means wear those heels ladies, if you think you might see Oren in at a party.
