In this episode of Dean Studies, in season 4, there is an episode where deans teenage girlfriend tells teenage dean that all of his act is just an act and he's really a sad lonely boy underneath, then the next episode is the siren which gives the person what they want most, and he just wants a bestfriend (aka what your life partner should be aka his lover cas), so I think the media literacy is that dean is still a sad lonely boy afraid to let others see the real him that he is masking as a macho man for and the next episode is deans thing he wants most is a dude best friend to spend his life with. (And dean constantly gets paired with cas story wise mirroring sam and ruby/other women love interests).
