Which is correct:

1 I don't like him with his arrogant manners and self-righteous attitude.

2 I don't like him with the arrogant manners and self-righteous attitude.

I think '2' is incorrect, but 'a' works.

Gratefully,
Navi.

You could stretch a point or three and say that 2 might be said if the speaker were identifying the person they didn't like in a group, though many would wince to hear it.

Not a teacher.

I think 1st is correct because the sentence you used "his" in it and its required.

I am also learner...
