Why is normal for men to pursue women but not normal for women to pursue men?

Recent events got me thinking about this thing. There is this one guy from food delivery service that fancies me, and every time I order a meal online, he is the one to get it for me (even though there are plenty of other workers). He told me he can't stop thinking about me, got my number from the app and called me few times, even showed up at my door couple of times (he rang but I didn't answer). I told him clearly that I'm not interested and asked him nicely to stop, but then he called me again after few days being all sweet to ask if we could at least be friends. Anyway, I don't think he is a creep (but really close to the border lol) and when I told my friends about him, they are all just like "awww" and pretty much feeling sorry for the guy (myself included). And it's always the same reaction with other guys who pursue, we don't like rejecting, it feels sad. We don't think that men who pursue us are crazy, unless they really go overboard.
But imagine if a woman was doing that? She would automatically be labeled crazy and guy's friends would laugh about it, call her crazy and desperate stalker.
I know guys love when girls make first move, and on that note we are almost always respected and appreciated (at least from my side when I was doing first move) but if a girl gets a "no" for an answer and she still keeps trying... that's not normal. But if a guy keeps trying that's normal. Some would even call him pussy if he gave up on first "no".

So why is all that?

  • Probably because human nature or just nature is meant to be cruel and unfair

  • I'm not bragging but every girl I've dated persuded me with the exception of two. One of them I married. Granted, they weren't what I was looking for in the end but they were all great girls.

  • It is normal but women only pursue the top 1% of men. They usually end up as groupies though.
