Galt, >>>>>> either by prevarication or by argument. I have noticed it a lot in our society too. It's never like "awesome", "sweet","that's great" , "you lucky", " you must have done hell of a work to get there" or "oh really!!!" The response would be; " My cousin goes to princeton.", " you should get ride on my uncle's beamer someday", " I don't think that is a great school" or even worse "so what?" That's the attitude we grew up with. This Miss X may be trying to be intimate with you bringing in the possible link to start conversation. It may be the inuendo that she knows what it's like being you as she has seen people like you. Accent and the expressions say more and your perception might be more accurate. But still i don't understand why your respect for women escalated that day. For her courage to molest a "beautiful" boy?
