Rafael, 45, London
Portuguese, in London for twenty years, and still incapable of queueing without commenting on it. I ran restaurants for most of my thirties and now consult for people opening them, which means I know where to eat in most European cities and have strong views about all of it.

The profile text
Portuguese, in London for twenty years, and still incapable of queueing without commenting on it. I ran restaurants for most of my thirties and now consult for people opening them, which means I know where to eat in most European cities and have strong views about all of it.
Long bookings suit me better than short ones. Dinner, a whole evening, a weekend somewhere. I am comfortable at a formal table and comfortable when the plan collapses and we end up somewhere better.
I travel regularly and take international bookings with notice.
What this profile is doing
- The rate is explained by the offer£150 with a three-hour minimum, four languages and international travel. Nothing here needs justifying because the profile has already justified it.
- Languages are placed where they earn their keepFour languages listed in the specification and demonstrated in the text. In London that is a client base other profiles cannot reach.
- It sets the booking length honestly"Long bookings suit me better than short ones" filters out the enquiries that would have wasted both sides an exchange of messages.
- One line of self-deprecationThe queueing joke stops the rest of it reading as a boast.
Rafael 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.
