It was cool to hear her speak in Greek after her fight. I imagine that her grandparents had something to do with her speaking it. It's cool to see she remembers her roots with speaking Greek and is not ashamed of her past regarding the stripper stuff.

She’s has a very good understanding of how to sell herself and how she fits into the promotion. She is very intentional about her actions. Her “thing” is jumping into a man’s arms. Something men watching at home would like to do with her. I was seeing a stripper for a while and she was probably the smartest girl I’ve known when it comes to psychology influence.

Interesting she said that when she fought boys at school they actually hit her back. When I was at school I was attacked by a girl on a bus for absolutely no reason. Because she was female I felt I couldn't hit her back through chivalry. I just had to sit there and take it. It was totally degrading and made me feel worthless. This is a common experience for male victims of domestic violence - they are defenceless against violent women.
