Let's go to the point: he is narcissistic, extravagant, arrogant, smug and a bore! He wants to appear to be successful and even happy, but nobody is fooled by his false sense of freedom, because it is just hauled out for the showcase.

So this means possibilities only for better offers to break through the back and forth.
