Brilliant!
If I'm not seeing anyone and need a one night stand once in a while, I might humor the guy acting like a caveman for my own purposes. In terms of relationship material, however, I require someone respectful knowing that I too shall reciprocate with the same respect. My current boyfriend won me with his kindness, entertaining stories, and home cooking (not to mention he's completely adorable).
Immature assholes will attract other immature assholes. I actually don't mind if a few dudes suddenly feel they need to act this way, since it separates the wheat from the chaff and allows you to immediately ascertain if he's worth the time.
My friend just had an experience with a dude in his mid-30s who was very sexually attractive when he was kind, but after about a month he inexplicably started to insult and degrade her in strange ways. After that, the thought of interfacing with his "man parts" was pretty revolting to her.
