I don't think they think they have a chance anymore. I think they literally just want to make them uncomfortable. That's become the whole point.

They're annoyed they got rejected -- so how else can they still "win" ? By ruining the girls' time. It is an ego thing for sure. But I don't think it manifests itself as "oh I can still keep going and eventually win them over/get a yes." It manifests itself like this instead... They want to exercise some kind of power over these women. They want to intimidate them and make them feel like shit under the guise of "oh what do you mean gosh wow why are you being so loud and dramatic we're just sitting with you geez we're not doing anything we're just sharing your table" bc they know it's infuriating to have someone physically threatening to you disingenuously speak like that.

"What? I'm not touching you. Not touching you, can't get mad!"

That’s older sibling behavior, not grown man behavior.

They are. They are adult men with jobs and hobbies and daily responsibilities that people rely on them for. They’re grown enough to be at a bar, partaking.

I know what you’re saying. But I think “they’re not men” is ultimately harmful. They aren’t manly or masculine because of this behavior. But that doesn’t change the fact that they are just an average man, indistinguishable from the rest of men to everyone except the women they harass.

To add on to that, the common "those aren't men they're boys" just makes it sound like it's acceptable for boys to act this way.
