Gaddafi was frequently portrayed as erratic, conceited, and mercurial in nature. During the Reagan administration, the United States regarded him as "public enemy number one"[SUP]
[327][/SUP] and Reagan dubbed him the "mad dog of the Middle East".[SUP]
[328][/SUP] Western media[SUP]
[who?][/SUP] have since speculated that Gaddafi suffered from
manic depression,
schizophrenia, and
megalomania. Among those who worked with Gaddafi,
Anwar Sadat called him "unbalanced and immature" and "a vicious criminal."
Gaafar Nimeiry called him an "evil" person, however
Yasser Arafat, who aligned himself with Gaddafi for much of his career, said Gaddafi was the "knight of revolutionary phrases". On Gaddafi's resistance to the 2011 uprising,
Cuba's
Fidel Castro commented that, "If he resists and does not yield to their demands, he will enter history as one of the great figures of the Arab nations."[SUP]
[329][/SUP] During a meeting with Malaysian Prime Minister
Mahathir Mohamad, he was said to be highly curious, asking a lot of questions and being especially interested in Malaysia's economic success.[SUP]
[330][/SUP] The attacks on Gaddafi's image became less common as his relations with the West improved. He modeled many of his political ideals from the likes of
Kwame Nkrumah,
Gamal Abdul Nasser and
Mao Zedong.
In his own estimation, Gaddafi considered himself an intellectual and philosopher.[SUP]
[331][/SUP] His former aides said he was "obsessive" about his image. He gave gold watches with images of his face to his staff as gifts. In 2011, a Brazilian
plastic surgeon told the
Associated Press that Gaddafi had been his patient in 1995 to avoid appearing old to the Libyan people.[SUP]
[332][/SUP] He was known for a flamboyant dress sense, ranging from
safari suits and sunglasses to more outlandish outfits apparently influenced by
Liberace or Hollywood film characters.[SUP]
[333][/SUP] He changed his clothing several times each day, and according to his former nurses, "enjoy[ed] surrounding himself with beautiful things and people."
He hired several Ukrainian nurses to care for his and his family's health.[SUP]
[334][/SUP] Beginning in the 1980s he traveled with his
Amazonian Guard, which was all-female, and reportedly was sworn to a life of celibacy. (However Dr Seham Sergheva reported in 2011 that some of them were subjected to rape and sexual abuse by Gaddafi, his sons and senior officials.[SUP]
[335][/SUP]) In 2009, it was revealed that he did not travel without his trusted Ukrainian nurse
Halyna Kolotnytska, noted as a "voluptuous blonde".[SUP]
[336][/SUP] Kolotnytska's daughter denied the suggestion that the relationship was anything but professional.[SUP]
[337][/SUP] Gaddafi frequently made sexual advances on female journalists, and successfully bedded a few in exchange for interviews.[SUP]

Gaddafi made very particular requests when traveling to foreign nations. During his trips to Rome, Paris, Moscow, and New York,[SUP]

[345][/SUP][SUP]
[346][/SUP] While in Italy, he paid a modeling agency to find 200 young Italian women for a lecture he gave urging them to convert to Islam.[SUP]
[347][/SUP] According to a 2009 document release by WikiLeaks,[SUP]
[348][/SUP] Gaddafi disliked flying over waters and refused to take airplane trips longer than 8 hours. His inner circle stated that he could only stay on the ground floor of buildings, and that he could not climb more than 35 steps.
The Libyan postal service,
General Posts and Telecommunications Company (GPTC), has issued numerous stamps,
souvenir sheets,
postal stationery, booklets, etc. relating to Gaddafi.[SUP]
