In another person's perspective, a guy that's cowardly, someone who doesn't have much self-confidence in himself would certainly have seconds thoughts if they want to approach a beautiful woman who is hanging out with a rough-looking man, who seems like he would beat you up in a whim, and there's this handsome looking guy at the side who is just wearing a cold face all the time, and just continued drinking all by himself without saying a word.
And something like that would certainly deter someone, as they would start questioning themselves if they could even take on Dylan if a fight breaks out, or if they are as charming and cool like Michael, who keeps oozing that cold aura around him.
But of course, there are still people who have a few screws loose in their heads!
"Hey girl, how about you hang out with me and my friends over instead of these two here?"
