Hello. If you're reading this -- as opposed to swiping tinder -- it's probably because you understand that life can be messy and complicated, and that the right thing to do is not always the needful thing to do. My life is certainly messy and complicated; I'm guessing yours is too.

Who am I?

I'm all the good shit: witty, charming, intelligent. I visit the gym, I read books, I have a PhD. I own a start-up, but I'm not rich -- at least not yet. You'll never be bored in my company; I'm as engaging as the bathroom door when you've nothing else to read. I'm based in London but I move around quite a bit. I'm supremely confident without being a narcissist -- but then I would say that, wouldn't I?

Who are you?

You're a woman between the ages of 25 and 35. You have a penetrating, cynical intelligence, which allows you to simultaneously scorn and forgive how people delude themselves. You look after yourself and like to look and be attractive; people frequently tell you that you are. Perhaps you're bored; perhaps you're in a relationship that makes you bored. Either way, you sometimes need to scream into a pillow for the want of stimulation. Your sense of humour is sharp, and you feel a fond pity for people who get anxious when social conventions are broken. People like you and I know each other instantly at parties, and usually strike up a private communicative code that allows us to be cutting about the people around us. Both of us usually leave the party regretting that we can't get together for <insert reason>.

What do we both want?A rewarding exchange that blends real intellectual excitement with heady eroticism. An understanding that life is short, and pleasure needs to be snatched before it's stolen away. A recognition that things can be valuable for what they are as well as for what they might become. Most of all, we want a chance to just be, without the thousand claims that daily life makes on us. If this is attractive to you, message me, and maybe we'll jump off that diving board together.
