Going out


We ran up to strangers in London and drilled them on what makes a great night out.

Lewis and Marcus

Lewis, 19 (left) and Marcus, 19 What's more important to you - looks, shoes or personality? I don't mind shoes so much. If Beyonce was wearing Hi-Tecs, I may accept. (Marcus) What makes a good date? Having girls around and money in your pocket. If you've got money in your pocket, you enjoy yourself with the girls. It's about where it's sliding, where everyone's 'live'. Clubs, basically. (Lewis)

Ena

Ena, 23 What music do you like? I like classical music, actually. What makes a good date? I have to be wearing good clothes, and we have to be doing something interesting. I'm attracted to someone with elegant gestures and body language.

Sarah

Sarah, 20 What makes a good date? It's got to be relaxed, and lots of fun. Maybe going dancing or something like that. What's more important to you, somebody's looks, shoes or personality? Personality. Although since I've been in England, I've noticed that British guys in white shoes are called 'geezers' or something. That's what everyone says in Australia. I wouldn't go out with a geezer.

Jack

Jack, 23 What music do you like? Jazz, electronic stuff, rock or 'ROCK' who actually says 'rock' anymore? What makes a good date? It varies according to the person. I guess if you're both interested in the same sort of thing, and you do something you both enjoy, then that's a good date. But it depends on the person.

Christie

Christie, 19 What music do you like? My favourite bands at the moment are Kiss and The Clash. I love Kiss. I like to go to a club called Rock on Friday nights. What's more important to you, somebody's looks, shoes or personality? Nobody could deny that looks aren't important. But I judge people on the train all the time based on their footwear.

Sean

Sean, 19 Where do you like to go on a Friday or Saturday night? I like to hang around in the West End. What makes a good date? Easy going, mate.

Lisa and Nada

Lisa, 17 (left) and Nada, 17 What makes a good date? They've got to be hyper, mad for it. What's more important to you, somebody's looks, shoes or personality?Looks, but they've got to have nice trainers on. Our boyfriends both wear minging trainers. Are those boys over there looking at us?
