Mateo I.

47 y/o

Yoga

I do the school runs, so I’m finished by 9am and have seen every kind of chaos a kid can cause. Afternoons you’ll find me in my workshop or watching the cricket — looking for someone low-maintenance.

Adrian R.

72 y/o

Traveling

Retired dentist, so yes I will notice your teeth, but I promise I won't say anything. Looking for someone with a good sense of humour and an easy smile.

Boaz K.

27 y/o

Thrifting

Crane operator with the best view of the city. When I'm back on solid ground, I'm usually woodworking, getting stuck into a documentary, or entering the occasional cooking competition.

Arjun C.

19 y/o

Movies

I work in heating and air con and I'm usually up before 6am five days a week. After work, I’m either at the gym or watching the football — sometimes both if the match is on the TV at the gym.

Kingsley O.

32 y/o

Running

Personal trainer, but I promise not to judge what's on your plate. Spend most of my time at the gym, balanced out by a serious love for pizza.

Nathaniel J.

75 y/o

Museums

I work part-time in security at a museum three days a week and it’s honestly a brilliant gig. Looking for someone easy-going who knows what they want and is done with the drama.

Feng C.

72 y/o

Traveling

35 years in civil engineering and now doing some part-time consultancy from home. I always like to have a project on the go and I'm looking for someone who's the same way.

Ken X.

47 y/o

Art

I drive a delivery van for a living and listen to far too many podcasts because of it. Looking for someone to swap recommendations over a coffee or a pint.

Wai I.

46 y/o

Wine Tasting

Account manager for a logistics firm—sounds a bit dry, but it funds the fishing trips. Looking for someone who appreciates a Saturday with absolutely nothing on the cards.

Reuben U.

46 y/o

Road Trips

Dialysis technician, so early starts are just part of life. When I'm not working, I'm at the allotment or trying out a new recipe. Looking for someone easy-going who doesn't mind an early night.

William P.

25 y/o

Road Trips

Radiographer who's good at keeping a straight face and rubbish at keeping plants alive. I spend my weekends running 5Ks and visiting my family more than I probably admit.

Arjun S.

61 y/o

Art

Retired secondary school history teacher, so I’ve got plenty of opinions and I’m not afraid to share them. Looking for someone who can give as good as they get and still have a laugh over a pub dinner.

Asher N.

47 y/o

Gardening

Retired aircraft engineer, now consulting part-time. I still have the habit of triple-checking everything, which is either reassuring or annoying depending on who you ask. Looking for someone patient with a detail-orientated guy.

Nabil E.

31 y/o

Board Games

Cybersecurity analyst, which means I know more than I should about online privacy. In real life I'm into mountain biking, BBQs at the weekend, and any outdoor sports.

Daniel G.

48 y/o

Running

Retired teacher, now doing some part-time consulting and travelling when I can. Not looking for a life on the beach, just after someone to head off on a road trip with every now and then.

Abraham Z.

75 y/o

Movies

I still locum at a chemist part-time when they need cover, mostly just to stay sharp. Looking for someone who has her own thing going and wants a partner, not a hobby.

Luke O.

75 y/o

Photography

I’ve been collecting coins since I was a kid and now I’ve got a proper setup in the study. Looking for someone with a niche interest of their own who won’t take the mickey out of mine.

Arjun S.

49 y/o

Literature

I run a small cafe, been doing it for 15 years, so I'm an early riser whether I like it or not. Looking for someone who appreciates a proper breakfast and doesn't need constant entertainment.

Gideon U.

49 y/o

Board Games

Secondary school art teacher who still works on his own projects on the side. Not the struggling artist type — I just enjoy making things. Looking for someone creative but grounded.
