Here are Leeds’ most eligible bachelors: Round One

It’s that time again, here’s the low down on the guys in Leeds worth swiping right for


It’s time to find the most eligible bachelors in Leeds, and we’re bringing you the best of the best. Don’t forget to place your vote at the end as how else will these lads get the ego boost of their university career? Let’s have a look at the nominees.

Pete O’Brien, International Business, Second Year

“a dominating posh blonde”

If you’re into long country walks and getting pissed up on a “good ale at the local tavern” this “dominating posh blonde” is the one for you. Pete is very confident – he even thinks his nomination should have come sooner.

He prides himself on his ability to have grown up in Surrey and yet have an ever so slightly Northern accent. Come on girls, he needs your vote, his dream girl turned to him, after putting in a great amount of effort in the bedroom, and told him “this will never happen again”.

You can find Pete on Bumble, because he went to private school so doesn’t know how to talk to girls.

Rob Angel, Economics, Masters

Angel by name, angel by nature?

Rob conquered Bristol before transferring to Leeds. He’s described as “fit, fun and flirty” if not a tad unlucky.

The self-proclaimed “guy of your dreams”, wondered if this nomination was even legit. If this humble bachelor hasn’t swayed your vote yet, Rob told me he should be Leeds’ finest single because, “Rob is an all round nice guy – Kanye West.”

William Birtwhistle, Economics and Business, Fourth year

Big fan of the Kitty Cafe

Will remains “loyal and loving” even after the fresher he was seeing for months cheated on him with one of his mates, ouch. “Well it’s about time”, was Will’s response to this nomination.

With the longest plea, out of all nominees, for your votes he reckons he’s Leeds’ finest bachelor because, “I’m a true gentleman, in Leeds where boyish behaviour and charity shop threads are the norm and worshiped having the demeanour of James Dean and styling of David Gandy seam all too amiss.

“I pride myself on being effortlessly styled on every occasion, elegant at the end of year ball, almost tribal at beaver works and flawless everything in-between. Where manners are often a miss from my fellow uni ‘lads’ they are a staple piece of my vast vocabulary, I believe that manners do maketh man, not your ability to chin a pint that makes you a legend.

“I never swipe left on instinct alone, always looking for the beauty within. I always make conversations with the Uber driver. I’m never late. Never rude. Always knows what I’m drinking. Knows all the words to Les Miserable. And above all else, will always gaze longing into the eyes of the one I love.”

Now if that essay isn’t enough to make you vote for him, nothing will.

Tom Birchy, Law, second year

Meet Tom, business owner, law student and one of Leeds’ finest BNOC’s last year. After a two year relationship, Tom is branching out into the bachelor world and claiming his status as Leeds’ finest single. He said this nomination is a “perfect way to get back on the market! A golden opportunity to find true love.”

Tom is searching for a tall, Eastern European blonde with a taste for Bassface events and expensive beverages. If Tom tickles your fancy, you will find him at Angelicas, sipping an extortionately priced cocktail.

Watch out for this rugby boy girls, he’s rarely on the market.
