According to the narrator, the Griersons "held themselves a little too high for what they really were." They considered themselves to be a higher class than most of the other people in the town. As a result, there was not a young man in town who was "quite good enough" for Emily. For that reason, we can't say how Mr. Grierson treated the men who wanted to date her, because there weren't any until Homer Barron came to town. We know this because the narrator tells us: "So when she got to be thirty and was still single, we were not pleased exactly, but vindicated; even with insanity in the family she wouldn't have turned down all of her chances if they had really materialized."
