This is not addressing the OP, but the title.

I think the man's attitude may change when he is rejected is because of various factors in his life:

A) Childhood
B) Personality
C) Emotional well-being
D) Social pressure
E) Maturity level/Self-esteem level
F) Experience in relationship

I think as a whole (I might get killed for this...), we failed to remember that men are just as emotional as their female counterparts. I mean, sure he may be a dud in the expression department, but he still feels, nonetheless

You can feel however you want but once it becomes an verbal or physical assault it's far more difficult to understand. I can't muster much sympathy for these douchebags.

I don't think that this statement applies to the situation in the OP. We're talking about guys who roam the streets and shout insulting remarks to women they happen to encounter who are complete strangers. These aren't the emotional sensitive types you're referring to, and their behavior isn't a result of having their feelings hurt, it's a form of bullying and intimidating women because in their low life culture that's how men are supposed to act.

Nobody would deny that men have feelings, but it's the old "you can't control what happens to you, but you can control how you react to it" adage. If a guy's reaction to being rejected is to lash out and call names, that doesn't speak highly of his character.

What if he turns around, holds his hands up to his face, and sobs uncontrollably?

He might get a "there, there" and a pat on the shoulder. Heck, sobbing might work out to his advantage.

Here I thought that this might be a thoughtful post about how many average but decent and hard working guys deal with the predictable rejection they usually receive. It might have given a new perspective to the post where older men no longer approach women.

Instead you discuss a game many juvenile males play when they get their first set of wheels. Get over it ladies. This was all pre planned. They were eagerly looking for your rejection and expected it. They have their response rehearsed. This "game" has been going on for decades.
