Bingley... and being fastidious. Written by Mandy N (4/30/2007 6:57 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Bingley sees Darcy’s Darkside, penned by Robbin

I agree Bingley's comment on Darcy as 'so fastidious' shows insight into his friend's charecter.
Bingley realizes Darcy is not being shy in company, but aloof and 'picky' in regard to the Meryton girls.

Interestingly, the narrator describes Darcy's charecter as 'fastidious' in Ch. 4.
Charles Bingley is in possession of a good fortune. Yet it is not his wealth but his friendy, unassuming chararecter that impresses people. Unlike Darcy and his sisters, he is devoid of snobbery and probably cannot understand why Darcy insists on making himself stand out in a silly manner. To Bingley, it's just not worthwhile to act so fastidious with company.

Bingley is a pleasant and affable sort of man. Yet such charecteristics often make readers perceive him as weak, and more dependent on Darcy than he is; just my view. ;D
