The type of person that would do this is of low enough IQ to never even consider second order consequences. It literally never crosses his mind that the woman he is attracted to will be put off by him acting out like that. Dude literally only sees an attractive female and another random guy getting in the way for no reason.But like, in what world does this ever work? Is this the first time he's trying this? Or is he just tanking the ass kicking at every restaurant he tries this at and going "next time for sure!"
Semi shockingly, it sometimes works when the man intervening is a stranger and she finds the aggressor physically attractive.
