Why do men do this? Even when I was young and clueless I knew this would not work, and that also women talk to each other.
The goal isn't what you assume it is. You're projecting your own goals and concerns onto those men.
My guess would be exhibitionism. They get sexual gratification from acting sexually towards women regardless of how those women feel about it. As for women talking to each other, that's less of a risk on dating apps, and even irl it has never been decent at preventing sexual offenders from having plenty of victims.
I asked my man slut roommate (no shame, all sluts rock, all kind people rock) a while back, how he gets all these girls with this behavior?
He said, โI just cast a wiiiiide net and the ones that respond are downโ
Beautiful and simple explanation. Just like he was, to clarify, above average beauty, and =< average smarts. Pretty good guy overall. I donโt recall he was a dick to rejection just moved along to the one that accepted.
Ah yes, the good old spamming technique.
Hey, survival of whatever adaptive traits work...
