WASHINGTON (CNN) – Illinois Republican Rep. Aaron Schock is hoping a recent magazine profile will help him in Washington's bustling social scene.
"'There's no line of young ladies at my door every morning,'" the 27-year-old congressman told Details in an interview for the magazine's May issue. But, "'[m]aybe when they read my Details profile . . .'" Schock added.
The young Republican has come from nowhere to become a rising star in the GOP in just a few months since becoming the youngest member of the 111th Congress.
Schock was voted "hottest freshman" by the readers of the liberal Huffington Post Web site. He was also showered with attention by President Obama, who was hoping to win the young congressman's vote for his $787 billion stimulus plan. (The freshman Republican hopped a ride on Air Force One with the commander-in-chief and attended a presidential town-hall-style event in Peoria, Illinois, but ultimately voted against the bill.)
And Meghan McCain, daughter of former Republican presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain, recently showered praise on Schock, suggesting that the young conservative might be the future of the GOP and calling him a "congressman-turned-TMZ hottie."

With all that attention, the spotlight was inevitably bound to turn to his personal life – a subject he discussed with Details. "He's the only one of his siblings not married with children, and is similarly an outlier among friends," the profile says. "'I had a group of fix or six guys, and we hung and traveled – ski trips and stuff,'" Shock told the magazine. "'They slowly got picked off – married, married, married.'"
There is apparently so much pressure on the young, successful congressman to settle down, that his longtime friends are trying not to add to it, according to the magazine.
While he settles into life in Washington, the bachelor is keeping himself busy with lots of time at the House gym. Schock told the magazine he also enjoys listening to music – "'everything from Keith Urban to Justin Timberlake to Rihanna.'"

Maybe Meggie McCain will take time out from writing her picture book and trying to get face time on CNN to camp out at his door. She seems to have the hots for him (or at least pictures him as a good way to stay in the spotlight).
I like seeing new faces in Washington... seems like we always hear from the same people for 40 years.
Hopefully he won't turn out to be one of those Republican 'toe-tappers'
busy at the House Gym while in DC? maybe you should spend less time at the gym and more time in your office figuring out a viable alternative to Obama's economic plans!
That's because you're with the wrong party clown. Hop on over. lol.
It does seem as if Mr. Schock is a nice young man with a bright future. Don´t ruin it for him by putting, " a rising star in the Republican Party" label on him. And, definately keep Rush, Hannity, and Gingrich away from him. They are career busters.
This is what Republican politics in the US has become–fluff and buff. First they gave us the Newt, then the Hammer, then Boy George & Darth, then Caribou Barby, and now the TMZ hottie. What a farce!
I would date a republican...they have all the money!
Maybe he should change his political party...
Give me a freakin break.. Is this what the GOP has resulted into? Gosh! They had better try holding onto their seats in Congress in 2010. I wanted them ALL gone so we can move this country forward. This is NOT news and NO thanks for sharing!
Let me guess this joker will be running for president in 2016.?
There may be no line of women at his door, but I would keep an eye on the pages!
How can someone so handsome be so stupid.
@ Brian G, Sugar Land Texas.
Too funny ! You got me on that one.
This young man is still too young to run for President in 2012.
Andhis love-life is doing what to help our country get back on track?
Maybe if he would pay attention to what is constituents cared about and come out of his ivory tower he might find someone who would date him. But who wants to be seen with a person who has no mind of his own and follows orders of the heirarchy of his party. No wolf there, just a pathetic sheep.
Negative. Positive. Is still a circuit. You just have to add more; "Flux"..
Uh Mr. Schock, ... Keith Urban, Justin Timberlake, & Rihanna is NOT music. Writing songs, playing instruments, singing your songs IS MUSIC. Reading/Singing lyrics over beats programmed by Japanese geeks is NOT MUSIC.
Typical republican, take all the freebies that the president offered , then vote against the stimulus bill with all the other republicans. reminds me of a dog i once had, tried to bite any one feeding him.
At what point will the criteria for our leaders be intelligence instead of sex appeal. America is a disgrace.

he is definitely in the league of Eric "Britney Spears" Cantor!!!
He should be careful-my dad said never to dicuss sex with a republican- cause they'll give it a bad name
