If you start all your dates by talking about your worst traits first

This begs the question by assuming the proposed violence is a bad trait.

All I'm assuming is that a typical date will assume that people who talk about violence on the first date are crazy and/or violent themselves. This is an argument about first impressions, not an argument about goodness or badness.
