To someone like this, I wouldn't explain righteousness, I'd demonstrate
it.  Obviously the guy could care less about my definitions.  He wants to
see righteousness in me.  I would do it by treating him respectably
knowing that if he tried to treat me unrespectably that there would be a
good chance he was just testing the waters to see if I was real.  He'd
get it after a while.  Maybe then he would be interested in my
definition.  And men like this respect women who don't wear make-up,
pants, jewelry and immodest clothing.
