I think young men don't know how to flirt anymore. I think many of them think they are flirting in some weird way but they have no clue that they are actually bothering/pestering/harassing these woman. I mean I know too many young men that don't have licences, don't know how to use a lawn mower, can't ride a bike, completely useless men...just can't do anything besides go to school play video games and not much else.
I do blame technology. Keep your kids off online gaming imo. Bust out the old games or only let them play offline games on a console or PC. Especially no cell phone games. Cut YouTube to practically nothing. Get them outside...
This has nothing to do with flirting. They harass girls to feel in control and take out their dating frustration on someone else
I was just trying to guess that they think they are flirting but they are so far gone they have no idea they are harassing just a theory. They still are in the wrong not downplaying it
