It’s pretty obvious satire

You would need a severe lack of self awareness to respond with that rather than deflecting

Except the problem is there are absolutely people on Twitter who do think like that so it's not at all apparent.

That’s what it’s making fun of, gratz on getting the joke

If called out like this they would deflect

Wow, what a fun, satirical account. They really showed those women who thought they were dealing with an asshole! They weren't really an asshole at all! Just a parody account! 🙄

I didn’t claim it to be funny, just that it wasn’t good parody

Remedying both of those would be making the character they’re playing the punchline

Like an incely “why do women go for jocks instead of random Japanese verb guys who will treat them right” - Responding to the girl doesn’t make sense because there’s no where for the story to go; though a “are you asking me out?” Comes off pathetic enough to kind of work

Bold of you to assume that people are, in general, self-aware.

ETA: Especially in the US.
