WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Do I look like the type of guy who sucks up to women? Forget it.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Face Culture and Machismo

In some traditional mindsets or male social circles, catering to or appeasing women is perceived as unmanly ('losing face'). Using a rhetorical question to deny being that sort of person serves to defend one's pride and masculine social image.
