I can understand the interaction as a certain kind of coded language:
"I am arrogant, because I am so good looking and desirable that I am worth it." "I will be even more arrogant back, showing that I have even more to offer than you do."
It's 100% not to my taste, and I blanch at the idea that it shows MORE social ability than acting in a mutually affirming exchange, but if people want to play those games, this interaction is consistent.
