A man who lives like a Victorian and claims to be one of England's most eligible bachelors has finally met the woman of his dreams who shares his passion for the 1800s. Michael Koropisz, 24, a classical portrait painter from Stockport, Greater Manchester, refuses to watch television and writes with a quill and ink. The Victorian enthusiast insists on living in the past by dressing strictly in clothes from the 19th century and filling his house with antiques. Despite getting odd glances from strangers, Michael claims that his unique lifestyle leaves him inundated with offers from the opposite sex - and he has now found a match in Charlotte Brindley, 21.

I like the Regency Dandy guy.

Because their odd choices are often far higher standards than present cultural norms (which are in the toilet). We need to up our standards across the board.

Cool link. Would make for interesting costuming, if a bit expensive.

Sure, it’s all fun and games, until you get to the Penny Dreadful.

I hope the young people will be happy together. There’s plenty of room in the world for people who want to do life differently.

missionary style was invented by Baptist/Quaker pastors here in the USA. Victorian and earlier would have had none of that stuff. Keep it secret ,yes. But missionary style? only a fool would believe in that. Also non Biblical

I’m not from the past, and even *I* think it’s silly. But, there’s a lid for every pot, LOL!
