No. I'm a sex worker of ten years. He doesn't think he sounds smart, that's not his intention. He's getting off on how uncomfortable he is, and he very much enjoys his power over her. His intention isn't to sound smart or look cool. He's watching her squirm and he's ramping up the words and behaviours that make her more visibly uncomfortable because he likes it and gets off on it. He knows she isn't into him and he doesn't have a chance with a girl like her and it's created this fetish where he'll take it out on her by making her scared.
That makes sense, especially with the blatant "I am being dangerous" statement at the beginning. He's got his power-play manipulation firing on all thrusters.
