When reading Maupassant's Necklace in middle school, the wife of the vain civil servant paid ten years of hard work for a necklace. At that time, vanity was the patent of women. After growing up, I realized that men are more vain than women. A woman's vanity is superficial. A necklace can satisfy a woman's vanity. A man's vanity is internal. He may not resent others for their clothes style, but he will keep his seat firmly and always be ready to step up a higher step to grab others' seats.
The Yu Lian in "Red and Black" is a portrait of a vain man. His struggle history has been interpreted in different versions by generations of men. Only men despise the words "vanity", which are so light and floating, and they crown them with such dynamic words as "ambition" or "ambition". A vain woman hates being said to be unattractive, unattractive, and unloved, so she often changes clothes, follows the advice of hairdressers, flocks to cosmetics advertisements in fashion magazines, and takes the money to pack her face.
A vain man hates people saying that he is "useless" and "incompetent". In order to prove his ability, he may frequently change houses, cars, women and take money to satisfy women's material needs. There are also many toys that can satisfy men's vanity: private yachts, private planes, famous cars, luxury houses and beauties. Nothing is cheaper and easier to get than a woman's necklace. In fact, a successful man can satisfy women's vanity. However, a virtuous woman may not satisfy men's desire.
The vanity of rich men also includes the number of women. No matter how vain a woman is, she will not be proud of her lover unless she is engaged in another occupation. That can only prove that she has met many wrong people, and even women will not envy her. She just feels like a boat floating around among different men. But the strange thing is that men seem to be willing to float like this, and enjoy it all the time. Even men who have no ability to do so in fact will take flowers on their lips and make others think he is a drunk in flowers, and take pride in it.
Therefore, women with professional escort may have an excuse to make a living, but a man who takes escort as a pleasure can only say that his heart is empty, and he needs constant stimulation and courage of wine and lust, and has achieved many men's "career" in ceaseless eating, drinking and playing. Moreover, men's vanity is very likely to evolve into terrible possessiveness. Local media have sometimes disclosed that some men disfigure each other because of failing to fall in love or unwilling to divorce. The logic of these men is: I would rather destroy what I can't get.
