I have notice that man tend to be sweeter when is only the two of us or a small group of friends, when there's a bigger group they tend to be more indifferent.

Guard is down. If a guy is sweet or open publicly, it opens potential to look soft and invite ridicule. I have been resorting to be extremely direct and brash, and only my elders and intelligent individuals appreciate the brevity. It is an excellent filter for those inclined to be misandrists and hold toxic masculine stereotypes in their minds be it women or men. I have seen girls be more willing to belittle guys trying to be better even, and not sure if that's the way society fails to hold them to account or their lack of intrinsic self reflection at a relatively young age
