❶ the scale: three. Gender is fairly irrelevant.
❷ the type: UH OKAY well firstly you've got to bloody well deserve his time and attention. Not very many people/cities qualify for this; Cambridge has unbelievably high standards and expectations. High achievers and the best of the best need only apply. Everyone else can go home. Fakeness (including false humility) is really offputting - Cambridge values honesty and pragmatism a hell of a lot. And most importantly Cambridge looks for people who can "stand the heat" - he's fussy, highly-strung and antagonistic and expects people to not only be able to handle that but also to dish it back out at him. Difficult standards, this one.
❸ the past: He's nowhere NEAR as open and promiscuous as other cities. He's far too fussy and judgemental. There's only a small handful of cities and people that he's ever really seen as of the same calibre as himself: Oxford being the most obvious one here. In his younger days he was besotted with Ely but in recent centuries he's outgrown her in more ways than one.
❹ the crushes: Oxford I, obvs. The only one who's REALLY worthy of his affection but Oxford has to work hard to get at them :') and he totally admires London because she's practical and rational and stuff. Durham UNTIL HE CONSORTED WITH THE ENEMY. Get out, Oxford II.
