selective syndrome

Selective schools are specific schools across Australia that accept 6th graders for high school when they pass the selective school test. During their time here, they may suffer from 'selective syndrome' (which can occur anytime and anywhere) where they loose their intellectuallity and succumb to the state of normallity (AKA the mainstream classes' state).
"Hey Janice, what happened to poor Carol over there. She looks a bit unstable"
"Oh don't worry about her, she's got selective syndrome. It'll wear off sooner or later"
"Well I hope it does, since we have a maths test next period"

Select Male

Select Males are Men that women tend gravitate towards first as opposed to less attractive guys because they are attractive whether it be with looks or money or a combination of the two. These dudes are likely to get “Choosing Signals” from girls as a result of being Select Males, but even if you are a “Select Male” it doesn’t guarantee that will get women…especially if you have a terrible personality and no social skills.
Dashaun is a select male (at least assumed to be a select male) because he is a 6ft model that is fit and makes good money.
