I am very confused by this comment. Who are you talking about as the “asshole” in this scenario? I think you may be misunderstanding it. The idea is that two people are talking and flirting, and the girl asks the guy for something (like a drink, but it could be anything: taking a picture, helping her with something) at which point the guy teases her about it. I’m not seeing anything about low self esteem here.
Who are you talking about as the “asshole” in this scenario?
The guy who says “no” when, in the middle of flirting, a girl asks for a drink. This just doesn’t happen IRL unless the guy is intentionally trying to shut down the interaction.
Just my own personal experience. I guess maybe I phrased that a little strongly for something based entirely on anecdotal evidence. And I guess I should have added a caveat like “This just doesn’t happen unless the guy is intentionally trying to shut down the interaction, or has studied PUA techniques, or is Richard Feynman”.

Could you explain your basis for this claim a little more?
