Adam, 34, London
I work in architecture, which means I spend most of my week looking at buildings and most of my weekends talking about them to people who did not ask. Away from that I row badly, cook well and can be talked into almost any exhibition.

The profile text
I work in architecture, which means I spend most of my week looking at buildings and most of my weekends talking about them to people who did not ask. Away from that I row badly, cook well and can be talked into almost any exhibition.
Evenings with me tend to be unhurried. I would rather spend the first hour over a drink finding out what someone actually likes than get anything wrong at speed. I am comfortable at a restaurant table, comfortable at a hotel bar, and equally happy with a night in where nobody has to be anywhere.
Discretion is not something I need reminding about. First-time bookings are welcome and I am told I make them easy.
What this profile is doing
- It opens with a job and a jokeTwo lines in, the reader knows what he does, how he talks and that he does not take himself too seriously. No adjective could have achieved that.
- It describes the shape of an evening"Unhurried", "the first hour over a drink" and "nobody has to be anywhere" tell a client what a booking actually feels like. Most profiles list qualities instead and say nothing.
- Reassurance without a speechTwo short sentences at the end cover discretion and first-time clients. Anything longer starts to sound defensive.
- The rate matches the offer£125 with a two-hour minimum, dinner and overnight availability. The profile and the pricing are describing the same thing.
Adam is invented and the portrait is drawn. This page exists to show how a listing is constructed and there is nobody to book. Where the real profiles are is set out on booking a male escort.
