Why do some people respond with hostility if the other gender doesnt like them?

[T3HZ3N0N]

I've seen this happen multiple times at my school where a boy would proclaim their affection for a girl only to be turned down moments later, then the boy responds with hostility and stops talking to the girl or is really pissed whenever he sees her

because they believe being a "jackass" will get them laid quicker

[Man 2]

Because the offended party was humiliated in public by the offending party.

[Zaure]

Because they're self-centered douchebags.

[e-maxx]

Because

If that's the case, they were most likely just trying to get laid and werent looking for an actual relationship.

This is what really immature people do, they're uncomfortable with their feelings and when someone rejects them they lash out.

well, we can't generalize. it depends on the situation specifically.

Because theyre butthurt because they got rejected and it hurts their pride so they just try to insult the girl.
Happens all the time, when I stop being friends with a guy he'll try to make everyone hate me.
Its pathetic really

Every human comes equipped with an ego and a pride 'o meter. A dip in the pride o' meter means the ego gets rustled, therefore it is taken as an insult or a challenge.

[BBOY]

them bookface troubles really getting you down arent they

[carolcat]

i'd assume they'd act hostile as a way of getting back at the girl for rejecting him.

[fred da kiko]

Because they feel as if the girl said he wasn't good enough or something.
