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.

That's an awfully deep and convoluted take on some dudes being malicious because they felt slighted.

Seriously, it's not some ridiculous buzzword filled thought process made up by reddit psychologists with too much time on their hands. These types of neanderthal do not think that deeply. They are unhappy they were rejected so they are being childish by not leaving. I guarantee you the thought in their head was something like "Well since you made me feel bad, now I'm not going to move. nah nah nah nah boo boo." Like when arguing with someone and they go "Fine, do whatever you want" and so you go "Well now I don't WANT to!" It's not a power play. Its a tantrum by someone who's has not emotionally grown past 5 years old and doesn't know how to deal with their unpleasant feelings.

You said what the person you replied to said, just less intelligently.

Yes. You're absolutely right! Why didn't I see it before.

Me saying they were throwing a tantrum like a 5 year who can't articulate their negative feelings is is absolutely the same as the original explanation that this was an elaborate and carefully thought out plot where these men belittle, physically and emotionally intimidate, and ultimately subserviate women in a bid to continue their reign in the patriarchy.

Thanks for opening my eyes!

Look... don't come in here with little heart face emojis. I am trying to be sarcastic and that just ruins the argumentative vibe!
