Mr. Gu Hongming, a teapot man and a toothbrush man, has a "wonderful metaphor" for men: "There is only one teapot and several cups at home. How many teapots can a teacup match? " Mr. Gu compared men and women with teapots and teacups respectively. He opposes women's association with multiple men, but openly advocates that a man can have several women at the same time, and he has a Japanese little wife himself. After marrying Xu Zhimo in the 1920s, Lu Xiaoman, an absolute beauty, was afraid that the romantic Xu Zhimo would fall in love with someone else again and said to Xu Zhimo, "Mo Chi! You can't use the metaphor of Teacher Gu's teapot as an excuse. You should know that you are not my teapot, but my toothbrush. Teapots can be shared, but toothbrushes can't. " This is an interesting story written by Luo Jialun, a famous scholar, former Tsinghua and president of Central University, in the article Memories of Mr. Gu Hongming. Whether the metaphor of teapot and toothbrush is appropriate or not, whether a woman can have several men at the same time, for the time being. The most interesting thing about this story is that Gu Hongming, as a man, and Lu Xiaoman, as a woman, have completely different attitudes towards whether a man can have several women at the same time. Gu Hongming's words reflect the mentality of quite a few men. Men subconsciously want to turn themselves into teapots. Teapots not only want to have their own teacups, but also want to make them beautiful and smart. There are two ways for men to affirm themselves, one is career and the other is love. The success of a career can bring rich wealth, dazzling positions and noble status to men, and make them feel like strugglers. The success of love can make men feel the attention of others and feel their attraction to others. And most men's love is fickle. Picasso had 17 famous lovers in his life, which is the best footnote for men to feel inferior. Of course, not all men can make teapots. Generally speaking, men who are powerful, rich and famous have more opportunities than ordinary men because they often show their faces. Women, on the other hand, mostly want men to become toothbrushes. On the one hand, women are often more devoted to love than men. On the other hand, women are always in a weaker position than men in life, and the cost of leaving their spouses is much higher than men. In life, many women don't want their men to get ahead. It's not that they don't know that getting ahead can bring many benefits to their families, but they are afraid that men will become "people who don't go home" after the spring breeze. I once heard a woman say: I would rather let men stay at home honestly than cultivate husbands for others. Home is a woman's fortress. If a woman wants to consolidate this fortress, she must "struggle" with men with her gentleness or toughness. However, whether a man becomes a teapot or a toothbrush is often not determined by a woman's will. A woman expected a man to be a teapot, but finally made a toothbrush; Women think that men can make toothbrushes, but in the end they become teapots. There are only three ways for a woman to own her toothbrush. One is to make the mouth that uses the toothbrush more attractive and make the toothbrush infatuated. Second, before choosing a man, look at whether this person is toothbrush material or teapot blank. If it is the former, it can be considered even if the quality in other aspects is slightly poor. If it is the latter, you have to spend 1.0 1 100 million yuan. Third, in case of unfortunate encounter with the teapot, let's see if we can turn the teapot into a toothbrush. If you can, do your best. If not, give up immediately. The sky will not be rainy forever, and life is no exception. Men subconsciously want to turn themselves into teapots. Teapots not only want to have their own teacups, but also want to make them beautiful and smart. Every man thinks so! It's really hard to tell whether a man is a teapot embryo or a toothbrush material.
