W: So you really believe that clothes carry a kind of message for other people and that what we put on is in some way a reflection of what we feel?
M: Oh yes, very much so. People are beginning now to take seriously the idea of a kind of psychology of clothing, to believe that there is not just individual taste in our clothes but also a thinking behind what we wear, which is trying to express something we may not even be aware of ourselves.
W: But surely this has always been the case. We all dress up when we want to impress someone, such as for a job interview with a prospective employer.
M: True, but that’s a conscious act. What I’m talking about is more of a subconscious thing. Take for example the student who is away from home: if he tends to wrap himself up more than the others, this is because he is probably feeling homesick. Simitarly, a general feeling of insecurity can sometimes take the form of over-dressing in warmer clothes than are necessary.
W: Can you give any other examples of this kind?
M: Yes. I think people who are sociable and outgoing tend to prefer brighter or more dazzling colors -- yellows, bright reds, and so on. And aggressive clothes might indicate an aggressive personality or attitude to life.
W: Do you think the care -- or lack of it -- over the way we actually wear our clothes has anything to tell us?
M: Yes, indeed. The length, for example, of a man’s trousers speaks volumes about his awareness of his own image. Or, if his trousers are hanging down, this probably means he’s absorbed by other things.
W: Oh, very interesting. Tell me more about it.
M: OK ....
M: I don’t enjoy dating anymore. I can’t seem to find anyone I have anything in common with.
W: Don’t feel discouraged. Be patient. As you are so distinguished, you will definitely find the right person who is right for you.
M: To tell you the truth, I am tired of being alone, I hope to find my Mrs. Right. What should I do?
W: Do you believe in Internet matchmaking service?
M: That’s really a new walk of life. What is it exactly?
W: It helps match up singles the world over, and helps find the man and woman of their dreams.
M: Oh, it must be to the taste of a certain group of people.
W: The advertisement said Dream Dates has matched up thousands of singles the world over!
M: Unbelievable! They must be exaggerating the figure!
W: Look at the way they manage their business: they collect applicants’ photos, and give the applicants questionnaires to fill out as to what type of character they are.
M: I don’t believe several questions can decide the type of person you’re, People’s characters are complicated and keep changing all the time.
W:  Anyway, it seems that things work well this way. The information and specifications will be entered in a large computer database.
M: A computer to decide your best date? That’s really ridiculous !
W: Look, it promises: Dream Dates provides expert dating service and a place for singles to meet, We’ll introduce you to the person uniquely qualified to be your partner.
M: Sheer slogans! Not reliable!
W: It says you can enroll in a free trial membership!
M: I won’t do it even they pay me for that!
W: Well, we don’t have to believe this. Maybe I can tell John and see whether he’d like to try it.
