Answer:
The answer to the question: What does Higgins claims he behaves like around women, would be, that he behaves with total indifference, as if women were not worth much of his attention, or his interest, aside as a means to exercise his ability and own pride in being able to transform one from a street person to a noble woman.
Explanation:
Henry Higgins is one of the central characters inside the play "Pygmalion" that was written by George Bernard Shaw and which was first premiered to the world in 1913. In "Pygmalion", Higgins gets to meet Eliza, a girl whose language skills are really bad and he starts to exert his abilities as a phonetics teacher on her, trying to transform her into a better-spoken, and more noble woman. However, one thing that can be said about Higgins, and which he shows throughout, is that he does not think highly of women in general, and Eliza in particular, and to him they are just a means to an end, but he is not particularly interested in them and his manners are borderline rude, especially towards Eliza.
