A: Let’s play a little game. I’ll describe someone and you try and guess who it is.

B: OK. I’m really bored at the moment.

A: OK. This man is tall and slim. He’s got blue eyes and curly brown hair.

B: Does he have a moustache or a beard?

A: Good question. Yes, he has a moustache, but no beard.

B: Sounds like Mike, is it?

A: Yes, it is. You describe someone we both know.

B: Right. She’s not very tall and she’s quite plump. She’s got blonde hair,but I don’t know what color her eyes are.

A: Is she attractive? I don’t think I know anyone like that.

B: Well, I don’t find her attractive, but I’m sure you would disagree.

A: I like slim girls, so I doubt I would find a plump girl attractive. You’ll have to give me some more information.

B: She’s got tiny feet and wears really unfashionable shoes. In fact, she wears unfashionable clothes too.

A: This doesn’t sound like anyone I know. I give up. Tell me who she is.

B: She’s your mother!

A: How embarrassing! I don’t even recognize a description of my own mother!How important do you think appearance is ?

B: I think that unfortunately it’s more important than a person’s character.Advertising and stuff tells us that we have to be attractive. I think it’s wrong, but that’s the way the world is now.

A: I’m afraid you’re right. I chose my girlfriend because she has a wonderful personality.

B: Well, you certainly didn’t choose her because of her looks! Hey, I was joking! Don’t hit me!
