John: OK, so when the guy comes back from his date, um, his friend asks him about it, right?
Dilu: 对，他的兄弟说那女孩长得怎么样，长得怎么样
John: Yeah, so this is a question that I think takes some time to get used to when you're talking about what someone looks like. We use this word 长，right?
Dilu: 对，长，第三声
John: OK, so 长得怎么样 means what do they look like
Dilu: 嗯，是的
John: And the answer in this case is...
Dilu: 你可以说长得不怎么样，长得不怎么样
