I listed 10 classes above. Now consider this thought experiment: A man (higher in class to the woman by "n"-levels) and a woman are courting, and the man behaves like this: (1) is respectful, but does not even care about what(but he might be internally curious about the why behind her questions) she is asking, staring out the window, or at her, but her questions are seen as food for thought, instead of inquiries. (2) End result, ignores most of her questions, but asks her stuff. Basically, complete THE.END. to monkey dancing and jestering (that we see in modern day online-dating). But note, he is respectful, he might even open the doors for her etc, but he does not allow the date to turn into an interview. For example: she asks, how was your day, he thinks about it as a food for thought and then looks out of the window and is just chilling. Basically he speaks very little, maybe he speaks to hotel staff when ordering food, or when he feels curious, and when he gets curious, he starts asking a lot of questions. But her questions, he feels bored because he does not seek her validation. For what values of "n", is this seen as perfectly acceptable?
