Heading is dating I imagine that a couple of guys are discussing two girls they have met through some matchmaking or dating enterprise. "Yeah that one from Capetown was so-so - like the one from Durban - a bit prudish."

It depends on what she is referring to.

As a man.... discussion concerning 2 girls, how "hot" or "prudish" they are? I would definitely prefer " nothing special really" as being more descriptive.
