when I was 24 I was hanging with a guy who was a student at The Actors Studio and suddenly in the evening he became angry and told me I should know he's a misogynist.  I said "what's that?" he told me to look it up in a dictionary. 
When I was 35 I went on a date with a guy who was a Psychology Major at The New School and he told me he liked me but because I was not in his "milieu" he was not interested in seeing me again.  I asked him "what the fuck does THAT mean?" 
Did those guys do me great favors or were they just plain ole mean?
