31year old Matthew is a professional artist model from North London.  At work, he’s happy to let his body do the talking, but when it comes to relationships, he can struggle.  Matthew developed a stammer when he was six years old and feels it has hindered his search for love.

 

Matthew has had girlfriends in the past, but feels that his difficulty communicating is the reason why things have never become serious.  He feels that past girlfriends have lacked the patience to let him speak and “finish my sentences for me”.  He longs to meet a woman who “accepts me for my stammer and lets me have a voice”.

 

While he’s felt he’s had limited power over his voice, he’s spent years honing, toning and sculpting his body to give him a sense of control.  His fixation with his own physique extends to his ideal woman and he’d like to meet someone who “has equal attention to detail in how she looks”.   It’s not just someone who keeps in shape that he’s after – Matthew has a very particular idea about what his ideal woman should look like, specifically that she should measure 16 inches from shoulder to shoulder. 

 

Matthew is matched with 35 year old business coach Jessica. Will she be offended when he brandishes a tape measure to see how broad her shoulders are, and whether she’s his perfect fit? Or will this idiosyncrasy charm her?
