As for simple indifference, it's probably the perceived challenge to
their ability to win a woman. But as far as _I'm_ concerned, either
indifference or hostility is a sign that I'm wasting my time -- if I
knock on a door and get no answer, I may knock once or twice more on
the chance that they just didn't hear me the first time, but I see no
reason to bloody my knuckles if no one is going to answer the door.
And if they yank the door open and yell at me, I'm _gone_.
