If you wish to test this out in real life, men, tag along with a woman who is shopping for a new car. I guarantee that the vast majority of salesmen will talk to you, not her. Doesn’t matter that she initiated the interaction with the salesman while you hung out in the background, doesn’t matter that she has said that it will be her car that she is paying for. As long as you are in conversational range, almost all the car salesmen will talk to you, not her. Source: been there, done that, repeatedly.
