Have A Prince Charming Fetish? 5 Ways To Land A Proper Gentleman
All of us have a type: Whether it’s a mature jock or a skinny goth, there are some men who can be relied upon to get our hearts aflutter.
Some guys, however, won't settle for anything less than Prince Charming sweeping us off our feet. Blue-blooded or not, these English thoroughbreds are part of a social elite far removed from everyday life.
With a predilection for Saville Row, Oxford and Saint Tropez, today’s Prince Charmings will take more to win over than a glass slipper. Play your cards right though and you could be in for a royally good time. Your carriage awaits...
Look The Part
Sharp tailoring is your fairy godmother: If your budget wouldn’t cover a pocket square from Tom Baker, at least consider paying to have your trousers and shirts tailored. Well-cut clothes will instantly look more expensive, and money talks. Remember: a good jacket should be snug about your shoulders, the shirt should taper with the body and the trousers should be slim-fitting. And, if in doubt, cut the label out.
Talk The Talk
If you’re, like, bad at intellectual chit-chat, you’re going to need to brush up on the art of conversation. Today’s Prince Charming has been educated at some of the top institutions. After plenty of same-sex boarding school fun at Eton, they’re destined to study the classics or law at Oxford or Cambridge. According to some, one in five students at Oxford University are gay, and you don’t need a maths degree to know that means numbers are on your side.
Be A Good Sport
Being a gym bunny might get that much sought-after muscled porn star look, but Prince Charming prefers to hone a more natural physique taking part in country pursuits. Be prepared to ditch the dumbbells and saddle up. Horse-riding and polo develops strapping quadriceps and a tight core, whilst pheasant shooting develops enviable hand-eye coordination. Out on the water, rowing is the cardio of choice, burning fat and creating that all-important V-shaped torso.
Raise A Glass
Even Princes enjoy someone buying them a drink—just brace yourself for the bill. At Purple Bar in London’s 5* Sanderson Hotel, the B&B King cocktail made from rare spirits dating from the 1940s will set you back £500. Slightly cheaper is the Savoy’s £250 Daiquiri, or you could slump to Claridge’s Bar where a round of Luceo Non Uros (sweet sherry, marsala, port and bourbon) costs £50.
Join The Jet Set
If you’re striking out on the rainy streets of London’s Mayfair and Chelsea, then step away from Prince Charming’s natural habitat and pursue a romance abroad in the playgrounds of the rich and super-rich.
Catch the eye of a seafaring bachelor in the Mediterranean and you could soon be quaffing Moët on daddy’s multi-million pound yacht. Head to Port de Saint-Tropez, France’s most expensive marina, if you’re looking for a guy who has swapped his modest tweed for Dior sunglasses. Failing that, try Italy’s Marina di Capri; on such a small island you’re bound to accidentally on purpose bump into your heart’s desire again and again.
If you have fantasies of cosying up by a roaring fire with your beau and his corgis, then head to the Swiss slopes of Klosters, where Prince William and Kate Middleton had their first kiss.
Follow this advice and one day your prince will come.
