This is so fucking annoying and off-putting. I get that we live in a dominance hierarchy, but the smallest bit of emotional intelligence will tell a person/a man that anyone who does this is weird and unattractive. And yet, I hear this over and over again when women are recounting dating woes. No, dude, attempting to show me up doesn't make me like you or find you more attractive. It makes me think you're pathetic and insecure.
