This also works with narcissists. Used to be friends with a dude who was a huge narc and one night we went to go hangout at a club and I met this one girl and we were hitting it off pretty good, but the thing is, my narc friend was the driver and his night wasn’t going so well. He made up some bullshit story about needing to leave, and since he was my ride and rideshare apps didn’t yet have service in the area we were at, I basically had to break things off with the girl I was talking to and leave with him.
Well, at the time when I questioned him about it he said that basically yeah he did it as a cockblock. He wasn’t getting any action with his early manosphere alpha male bullshit but I was sitting down with a girl, listening to her and getting to know her and we were laughing and having a good time. He didn’t appreciate that. I didn’t appreciate that basically he manipulated me into not taking my own car there by myself.
