Will Demps (1979- ), “Pretty Will”, is an American football player and model. He played defence for the Baltimore Ravens (2002-2005), New York Giants (2006) and Houston Texans (2007-2008). Before that he played for San Diego State. He is the older brother of Marcus Demps of the Detroit Lions. He was LeToya Luckett’s love interest in her music video “Torn” (2006).
He is Blasian: his father is black, his mother, Korean. An air force brat, he lived on Mather Air Force Base in Sacramento, California as a boy and during high school near Edwards Air Force Base north of Los Angeles.
Growing up many people did not know what to make of him since he was part black and part Korean. He worked that to his advantage to make himself stand out.
As a boy he followed the San Francisco 49ers. He was a fan of Ronnie Lott.
After high school and again after university no one picked him to play for their football team despite his talent. But he did not let that stop him: he went to San Diego State and got on the team anyway. Likewise after San Diego he was later able to join the Ravens.
He was one of San Diego State’s best players: he made the All-Mountain West Conference first-team twice. Once when San Diego played against Wyoming he intercepted the ball and ran 73 yards to score a touchdown.
Actress Tichina Arnold, one of his fans, knows him. She says he is very down-to-earth. He certainly presents himself as a humble, Christian man who trusts in God – not just when times are uncertain, as they often have been, but even when success brought its own challenges.
When he was a football player making over $2 million a year women threw themselves at him:
I’ve had my share of fun with these types. I’ve flown beautiful women with agendas to big games . . . I’ve wined and dined them at the fanciest restaurants knowing I could’ve shared my bed with three at a time. They hang in packs like vultures . . . posed with breasts spilling out of their shirts . . . In the end, I know these women can never fulfill a need beyond my libido.
He called them Breezies: they are so fine even the wind around them stops. But they are all utter gold-diggers, none of them wife material. They are hoping to have a baby by him so they can receive fat child support payments for years to come. In his early days he went for them but later he avoided them:
In my heart, I know God wants better for me. After years in the league, I realized that my behavior and mind-set were just as flawed as the groupies’ I encountered. In our search for happiness and security, we wound up playing each other.
He is still looking for Mrs Will Demps:
Every woman that you meet, treat her like a queen because she might just turn out to be your wife.

He’s gorgeous, no doubt. (Though I must admit I have some prejudices when it comes to football players, or any men of sports for that matter).

I agree with Mira-I have prejudices against sports players. It’s nice that he changed his mind about the type of women he wants to meet, but I definitely don’t think that just because a man is seeking a wife means he will treat her well. It sure as hell doesn’t mean he won’t be shooting the “breezies” every now and then. He is very aesthetically pleasing, but that modelesque macho man type of attractivenes repels me. They tend to have a little too much testoterone running through their veins, and end up being assholes.

I think that Will Demps is a handsome man on the outside. His words indicate that he may be equally attractive on the inside.

@ Michelle – sometimes what appears to be gold is really iron pyrite masquerading as gold…maybe he is golden. But, when you date a famous man, a wealthy man, a powerful man or any man for that matter, you have to be secure in yourself because groupies and/or unscrupulous women will REALLY test you. I’ve been out to dinner with a man who fit into a couple of the categories and the lady (talk about a loose description) at the next table told me there was something on my dress so I would go to the restroom and she could flirt with him. In the end, I discovered it was not about me, but rather about him wanting/coveting/enjoying that type of attention. Because sports are full of these types of men, I avoid dating them. It’s scary to care about someone that only loves himself…

As one with extensive experience with athletes (not professional athletes, but athletes nonetheless), I must say he is very typical. There isn’t a thing different about him from what I can glean; from the clothes he wears to the terms he uses and the statements he makes. They all play that “I’m really a deep and intellectual guy” routine and state that they have no interest in the “groupies” but are looking for a “wife.” Sure.
No offense to athletes and especially football players, since most of my male friends are former athletes. But they try to seem more sincere than they generally are, and tend to put themselves and their desires first and above all else. He could be different from most, but I’m not betting on it

I have to agree with Natasha. The statements above sound like typical “I got sucked into the groupies” excuses. As for looking for a wife, common sense says you can’t find fine wine at the dollar store. He reminds me of athletes I know–I go to a huge sports school and I’ve tutored some of the more “famous” guys on our football team. Many of them are nice, but I would never date any of them.
I dated the captain of my high school football team senior year through freshman year of college, and he got mad when I told him I wouldn’t date him if he played in the NCAA or NFL. (I thought it was silly that he was mad, since he’d just torn his ACL and the likelihood of him doing either was slim to none.) It wasn’t because I didn’t trust him, per se, but I just feel most people aren’t immune to athlete culture and the worship it cultivates, plus I’m the low-key type who doesn’t like to be drawn into the center of attention by association.

Mochasister, it is so. My boyfriend is a former college basketball center, and he’d cosign that statement too. At the very least, it is wise to wait until the guy is no longer an athlete (and has made the proper “adjustments) before you get all excited about him.
Derek Fisher does seem different. He actually is married with children and I heard he took time off to help care for his daughter who had cancer. So I tip my hat to him.

I agree. This is a very important thing to keep in mind. I’m not saying Will Demps (or any other athlete) is a bad person, or a lousy friend. But the fact is, this type of men often make horrible boyfriends and husbands. Yes, it is possible to be a great guy, a loyal friend- and a complete disaster when it comes to romantic relationships.
Red flags:
He says things such as:
-That part of my life is over (referring to partying, groupies, casual sex)
-I’m just an ordinary guy
-Women are the most beautiful of God’s creations / all women are beautiful
He says he wants to settle down but never does.
He clearly enjoys all the female attention.

That is all I stated.
Black women seem to have no issue holding Black men (in all of it’s possible connotations) feet to the fire for their “preference” of non-black women or features. But why do some black women act so shocked with the light is turned on them for behaving the exact same way?

From what I’ve seen, none of the ladies here hate on black men. Just take a look at the most gorgeous men list: most of the men are black or part black.

If you have some problems with black women and their opinion on black men, it’s your right. But whatever might be going on, this blog is hardly an example of it.

I find it hilarious that it’s being said that black women don’t prefer black men. Where I live, if you’re a black woman, you can’t get your hands on a black man because they aren’t the least bit interested in black women at all. They are quite vocal about it as well. A lot of black women don’t have a “love interest” because she refuses to be with anyone other than a black man. I myself have “lost my black card” because I married Korean. But to some people I never had it to begin with because I am Domninican. That’s a whole different story.
Back to the subject at hand, Mr. Demps is very attractive. Equally attractive is his brother. I really like all races. I really hope he is truly trusting in God to find his mate. Because some of the comments that I’ve read that he’s aid about women are not very Christ like.

Unfortunately, this conversation veered off from a frank discussion about your friend many postings ago. While some may debate his relative attractiveness on the outside, there are few who are arguing that he at least seems like an attractive man on the inside. The problem is that if he is as attractive on the inside as he appears to be on the outside, he would be a unicorn. What we see and read daily are articles about athletes, politicians, musicians, actors, men of power and men with money who are involved in lasciviousness and foolywang daily. They may be attractive on the outside but on the inside, they are human cesspools. (Who am I kidding, they don’t even have to be attractive on the outside for them to engage in all kinds of foolishness, they can look like a bust down version of Uncle Ruckus.)
I can happily admit when I am wrong and if your friend is the man you say he is and the man he appears to be based on this article, then I am happy that unicorns still exist…

So all people see is his face/body. I’m sure he is waiting on someone special. That is right for him.
