The Great Gatsby Chapter 2

 -Tom seems to be proud that he is cheating on Daisy with  Mirtle. I infer this because of the way he tells Nick "We're getting off!' he insisted."I want you to meet my girl."
-Tom once again seems to try to state that he is superior than everyone else because he asks Wilson how business is doing while clearly it looks like it isn't going well.
-We can see how much Tom thinks he is superior when he is asked by Dr.Eckleburg asks if Wilson suspects anything from Tom and his wife and Tom responds that "He's so dumb he doesn't know he is alive."
-Mrs.Wislon feels like she is more than everyone else because she is with Tom and because she has things.

From everything I have read I can infer that Tom likes to surround himself around people who like to think they are superior than everyone else.
