Now let's move on to the main topic, which is his motive. As soon as the prankster said something to his girlfriend, his first response was to put down his drink, which shows controlled anger, a calm but dominant move. His girlfriend stepped back a bit and stayed in one place, showing that she felt protected. That means his action matched her perception of a real threat
After he put down the drink, his immediate reaction was to punch, usually an instinctive response. His body reacted faster than his ego could calculate. That suggests a protective reflex, like he saw a line crossed (someone stepping too close or saying something obscene). There was no delay or verbal exchange first, which usually indicates an ego-driven decision. He heard the insult, felt the humiliation, and decided to reassert dominance, that part was cognitive, not instinctive
So, we have several factors that show he was in control of his emotions. Based on that, he appeared to be a chad. Now, moving to the moment right before the punch: his body was grounded, still, shoulders square, steady eye contact, all signs of control. He looked calm before striking, it was deliberate, protective but composed
Next, after throwing the first punch, he continued hitting even when the threat wasn’t fighting back and was already neutralized. That part was ego-driven. He wanted the onlookers to see that he was "the man"
Most factors show he acted like a chad, but one or two, it's hard to say without clearly seeing his facial expression, suggest it was ego-driven instead. The first punch was likely instinctive and protective, but the following punches were about reinforcing his ego. It started as defense but turned into emotional overdrive, a blur between protection and pride
In this conclusion, he isn't a true chad, because a real chad would score a perfect 100, controlled, precise, and without flaws
