Types of Guys You’ll Meet in London

Look at you braving through the sea of wonderful and at times horrific London men. We've done the "Types of Girls You'll Meet in London" so fellas don't feel left out but this piece is just for the ladies.

The wannabe "Wolf of Wall Street"

Econ grad probably working at Canary Wharf at either Goldman or Morgan. He is the image of luxury and insomnia encompassed in one person. Expect bevvies in high-end cocktail bars and restaurants with a couple of Michelin stars. What's higher than his penthouse rent?

The answer is simple: his ego. You have to show him that you can't be bought by material things and that he needs emotional investment.

The "starving artist"

Probably a barista in Brick Lane by day and an eccentric musician in Camden by night. He's a free spirit with a charming albeit kooky personality. You'll probably have more than a handful of 3 am deep chats after coming off edibles. He might know his way around London but his life's direction is what he's still trying to figure out. If you're someone with a straight path you might be able to inspire him to become more methodical in his career and relationships.

The "country boy"

He probably saw more cows and sheep than people growing up so he's absolutely mind-blown by what the "Big Smoke" has to offer. It was his charm and genuineness that won you over. He probably seems like a dunce at first. However, you have to remember that he's a newcomer to the city and does not know much about urban lifestyle.

The "survivor"

He probably works 3 jobs at once, and is heavily stressed. He moved to London because of the opportunities it offers. He's driven to reach the pinnacle of success no matter the cost even if he's averaging 1 meal a day and 5 hours of sleep. It's likely that these types of men don't have much time to date, but when they do, you are sure to feel special to them.

The "Londoner"

Growing up in Bermondsey, he has lived there for the rest of his life. He knows the city like the back of his hand. He's a British gentleman to a tee. He's proud to be a Londoner and proclaims that it's the best place on Earth, even though he hasn't been anywhere else in his life. He might be a bit narrow-minded so if you're more worldly than him he could definitely use the pep talk that life beyond London is not as bad as he thinks it is.
