V-Days a week away but it’s not too late

Jack Ashurst, 3rd Year, Management  

What three words would your friends use to describe you? Charismatic, sensual, trendy.

Where would your perfect date be in Leeds? Crispys is my perfect date for a cheesy garlic bread and a boogie.

What is your bio on Tinder? 20, Wigan/Leeds.

If you were an emoji, what would it be? The wolf, because I’m a lone masculine wolf and some people say I look like Jacob from Twilight.

Favourite club night? Quids In, obviously.

Who’s your celebrity crush? Jennifer Lawrence, obviously.

What’s your go-to drink on a night out? VK Blue, obviously.

One fun fact about yourself? I love to wear stilettos and glitter in my down time (not in a gay way).

If you had one wish, what would it be? Donal Trump to get syphilis and assassinated by Chris Simpson.

Jack sounds like a bundle of fun – and who can disagree with his stance on Trump? If Crispy’s sounds like your idea of a perfect date night, then vote for him, and maybe send him a cheeky DM on Facebook?

Harry Loker, 1st year, Music Production and Performance 

What three words would your friends use to describe you? Cheeky, scoundrel, alcoholic.

Where would your perfect date be in Leeds? Something actually fun, cinema and food is a tired old staple. Go to a gig, or go laser questing, or bowling, I’m easy. Drinks are normally encouraged because why the fuck not?

What is your bio on Tinder? You won’t find guys like me on Tinder.

Favourite song? ‘William it was Really Nothing’, The Smiths.

Favourite club night? Rock and Roll underground in the O2 used to be great before it finished. I’ll go anywhere I can dance as long as I’ve had a few bevvies. 

Who’s your celebrity crush? Carlotta Cosials.

What’s your go-to drink on a night out? Jack Daniels and Coke (it’s got to have two of the smaller straws or it’s worthless).

One fun fact about yourself? I had a heart operation as a kid to stop me literally dying of a broken heart.

What are you looking for in a girl? A charmer. Someone who can hold an interesting conversation! Doesn’t mind taking the lead role from time to time. Holds her own in a game of Tetris.

If you had one wish, what would it be? Right now some gin and cucumber would be really, really nice.

If your a girl that’s known for breaking guys hearts than Harry might just be the guy for you: after his op, I’m not sure you even can break his heart anymore. This cheeky scoundrel can hold his own in a game of Tetris, and with a staple drink like JD and Coke you know he’s reliable. What more could you ask for?

Charlie Townsend

(On the right)

What three words would your friends use to describe you? Loyal, strong willed, friendly.

Where would your perfect date be in Leeds? Oh, I don’t know, I’m an old romantic really, so I would probably say just a lovely dinner at the Botanist. But don’t get me wrong, I would love to go on a good night out after the date. 

What is your bio on Tinder? It’s a bit crass: If you’ve got a lovely bum, I’m looking for fun.

If you were an emoji, what would it be? The wink with the tongue sticking out, because I love being cheeky.

Favourite song? Dancing in the moonlight, I absolutely love it, it always gets me off my seat.  

Favourite club night? I would probably have to say Fruity, lol. Those cheesy tunes are just so me, I’ve always loved them.

Who’s your celebrity crush? Would have to be Brad Pitt in Achilles. Golden lock, check! Sweaty abs, check!

What’s your go-to drink on a night out? A G&T always goes down so well.

One fun fact about yourself? Being gay I guess. 

What are you looking for in a guy? I don’t know, I guess just someone dependable and nice, been screwed around by too many bad boys.

If you had one wish, what would it be? To find that one right guy, and be happy in a relationship or failing that, do a karaoke cover of Relight my Fire with Robbie Williams.

The best thing about Charlie? He’s not fussy: as long as you’re dependable, and nice – and you have a good bum – then he’s willing to get to know you. He also loves Fruity. So, he’s basically perfect, am I right?

Conel Ewan Freeman-Harrison, 2nd Year, English literature

What three words would your friends use to describe you? Groover, shaker, menace.

Where would your perfect date be in Leeds? Walking a puppy down by the canal holding hands.

What is your bio on Tinder? I do not have Tinder, I’m an old fashioned romantic.

If you were an emoji, what would it be? Probably the wave because I’m wavey, and also I live by the sea.

Favourite song? Any song from JLS’ second studio album.

Favourite club night? Anywhere sweaty enough to wear board shorts and it be acceptable behaviour.

Who’s your celebrity crush? Jo Lumley all the way.

What’s your go-to drink on a night out? Probably Bacardi breezer but I can settle for an orange VK (or a half pint of stella when out for a casual one). 

One fun fact about yourself? When I’m not working my magic analysing Shakespeare in Leeds, I work as a surf instructor in Tynemouth – the water is the only place I truly feel at home.

What are you looking for in a girl? Anyone who is willing to give me a hug.

If you had one wish, what would it be? Free speech for dogs.

He loves dogs. I literally can’t say anymore. Do you even need to know any more?

Henry “the catch” Jobber, 2nd Year, Management

What three words would your friends use to describe you? A dreamer, special, mysterious.

Where would your perfect date be in Leeds? I would take her to Flames, and sit her at their finest stool.

What is your bio on Tinder? I don’t need Tinder M8.

If you were an emoji, what would it be? All of them, I’m very diverse.

Favourite song? Anything by Britney.

Favourite club night? Easy, Tiger Tiger.

Who’s your celebrity crush? Julie Andrews, I’d bet the Captain to her Von Trapp.

What’s your go-to drink on a night out? Cosmopolitan, though I am partial to a strawberry Woo Woo.

One fun fact about yourself? I can eat 4 baroccas tablets at once without chundering, unfortunately less successful when it comes to alcohol.

What are you looking for in a girl? I’m leaning on virgin but slutty can be fine. Self-confident is good, if she can’t approach me, I might not be able to approach her. She has to have the right “parts”.

If you had one wish, what would it be? I wish my body was perfectly symmetrical and that I was three inches taller.

Don’t be put off by the fact that Henry’s fave night out in Leeds is Tiger Tiger, of all places; this “mysterious” guy has way more to offer. I think. I mean, he’s not fussy I guess, he’s happy with a girl who’s a virgin or one that’s slutty, so that’s pretty much everyone right?

Thomas Houssaye, 2nd year, Sport and Exercise Science

(On the left)

What three words would your friends use to describe you? French, sporty, and sensual. 

Where would your perfect date be in Leeds? Go and eat at Sous Le Nez. 

What is your bio on Tinder? Half French/Half English, second year sport science (uni of), basketball, gym, and dance (street dance).

If you were an emoji, what would it be? The smirking face.

Favourite song? This is What You Came For – Calvin Harris.

Favourite club night? Sticky Feet at Warehouse.

Who’s your celebrity crush? Blake Lively.

What’s your go-to drink on a night out? VK.

One fun fact about yourself? I had to roll down a hill during a social in first year and I scratched my entire face, still have a small scar (because I’m a badass).

What are you looking for in a girl? I go for what my friends are calling the 5 B’s: Brunette, Below average height, Boyfriend, Braces, Boobs.

If you had one wish, what would it be? To find love.

Thomas’ Tinder bio might be kinda boring, and yes he did admit to going for girls with boyfriends, which isn’t really a great character reference. But what he really needs is a Blake Lively lookalike with an interest in dance and basketball to come sweep him off his feet and change his fuckboy ways. Can you be that girl? DM him of Facebook and find out.
