  1. He is exactly a cavalier.
  2. He is exactly a playboy.
  • Any mistake in the above sentences?
  • Are the above sentences with same conotation?
  • I mainly want to make sentences with cavalier.
__________________________________________________ ______________
  1. He's playful.
  2. He's a playful child.
  3. He's a playful kid.

__________________________________________________ ______________
1) vanity (noun) : means excessive pride in oneself

2) vain (adj) : means conceited

I've checked with a dictionary for the meanings of vanity and vain to make the above sentences.
  • Any mistake in the above sentences?
  • Actually I am looking for words describing one who just care about her grooming that all her/his accessories & attire get to be well-matched, but not necessarily to be materalistic, vain or showy. He/She is still a decent person.
