Tim
'I find it hard to tell what age she is; she could be anywhere
in her twenties. She is dressed very casually and seems relaxed - much
more so than the others. Her hair is quite wild. I think she works in
the entertainment or TV industry, and she's into music, clubbing, pubs
and cinema. She's approachable, but she'd also know how to put someone
down if she needed to, which is a good thing. She looks fun. If she's
in a relationship, it's not a committed, long-term one. I think she probably
shares rented accommodation with friends. She's attractive, but she's
also got a "we could be mates" quality about her.'
Helen
There's a strong sense of vibrancy about her; she's very
outgoing. She's probably got one close girlfriend, but I think she mostly
hangs out with men. Careerwise, she could be waitressing until she makes
it as a musician. I'd say she's in her mid-twenties and that her background
was lower middle class, but now she's moved up a class. 'I don't think
she's married or has children, but she is probably in a relationship.
She looks lots of fun and very straightforward, but I think she's slightly
intimidating and quite loud; I'd like to meet her in a small group, not
as part of a crowd. I think she's sporty but in an unusual way - she'd
go paragliding rather than do aerobics. She lives in a city -Manchester,
perhaps - but she'd like to travel somewhere unusual, Vietnam, for instance.'
Fred 'She looks young, easy-going and relaxed. She's soft and fluffy:
her sweater has a soft collar and cuffs, and her hair is soft. She also
has a lot of energy - I can just see her bouncing along the pavement.
Her posture suggests some ambiguity, though. She may hate having her picture
taken, or perhaps she's slightly hesitant about this extroverted gaiety.'
Craig
I found her hard to pick up on. She's putting on a happy
front but I think she has a difficult background and suffered some loss
in her childhood, maybe a brother or sister died. She has strong family
bonds and is a fighter, but I feel she may suffer from stomach and back
problems. She's artistic and likes music.'

COMMENTS:
Nina
Job, 30, works as a youth health promotion specialist. She lives with
her boyfriend of eight years in south London. 'I'm glad that Tim found
me relaxed, approachable and fun because in my job I have to be, so I
hope it's true. I must admit that I'm not always like that, though. I
liked Helen's comment about my having a strong sense of vibrancy; people
have mentioned this before and I like to think it's true. I used to hang
out mostly with men, but this is no longer the case; nowadays my relationships
with female friends are far more important to me. My background is actually
working-class and she's way off about my work. I really hope that I'm
not intimidating and there's no way I'd ever paraglide - I'd be far too
frightened. I do a lot of exercise, though. 'As for Fred's comments...
oh my God! He's made me sound really silly and girly - everything I don't
want to be. The only thing he's right about is that I hate having my photograph
taken. Craig is wrong - I haven't had any back or stomach problems. My
dad died when I was 17, but I don't know if that counts as my childhood.
'I must admit I was quite nervous to hear what everyone would say about
me; I worry that people won't take me seriously because of the way I look.
There is some truth in what
each person says, but it backs up the saying that you shouldn't judge
a book by its cover.'
