Offended by cheap meals

Women are often more offended by simple cheap meals than men. Women are also more displeased at the thought of eating standing up.

Men of effeminate nature likewise takes pleasure in delicacies and luxuries yet we ought to remember what Diogenes said that when considering buying a dish or a bottle, we see whether these things really ring true to us or whether it is that we just desire for people to look at us consuming them.

We who eat cheap meals standing up are not in pain, because it is not painful to do so.

Men; teach your wives and girlfriends not to desire too much frivolities. Women; remember that most people are empty-headed and more concerned with their own lives so that impressing them is nothing more than vanity.
