Marcus, 41, Manchester
Fourteen years in the fire service, and I still get up at five out of habit. These days I run a small gym in Chorlton and coach a junior rugby side on Sundays, which is louder than the fire service was.

The profile text
Fourteen years in the fire service, and I still get up at five out of habit. These days I run a small gym in Chorlton and coach a junior rugby side on Sundays, which is louder than the fire service was.
I am not complicated company. I listen properly, I do not fill silences for the sake of it, and I have a reasonable idea of when someone wants to talk and when they would rather not. A lot of the women who book me have not done this before and were not sure they would go through with it. That is entirely normal and there is no part of it I have not heard.
Weekday evenings and Sunday afternoons suit me best.
What this profile is doing
- It sounds like one specific manThe fire service, the gym in Chorlton, the rugby on Sundays. None of it is impressive on purpose, which is exactly why it reads as true.
- It names the client it wants"A lot of the women who book me have not done this before." A nervous first-time client reading that has been told the booking will be fine, without being told so directly.
- It states availability plainlyWeekday evenings and Sunday afternoons. Saves both sides a round of messages.
- It resists the temptation to oversell"I am not complicated company" is a stronger opening than any superlative would have been.
