condescendence

Post by PinkLady »

Does this sentence make sense?


"From what I heard about him beforehand, I thought he was going to feel condescendence for me, but when I MET Jim, I Saw that he was actually a very sensitive man."


In case it makes sense, what is it understood by this, and particularly by 'to feel condescendence'?
