Why do some men flirt with women they secretly dislike?

Same reason as why women do it. Flirting for fun.

[Asker]

Women tend not to do that

[Pohjolan]

Just as men tend not to do that. However a sufficiently large subset does it to make a impact.
Actually I would wager that a larger portion of men are willing to have sex if the flirting for fun leads to something.

Sometimes flirting leads to sex. Men will fuck a girls they hate and then just never talk to them again.

Even coworkers?

It isn't smart, but being workers wouldn't stop some guys.

Coworkers

For the same reason women flirt with guys they dislike. And yes, women do do that.

[Asker]

I don’t do that. Can you explain why anyone does that?

[Opinion Owner]

I never said YOU do it. But there are a significant number of women that do. Why does your gender do it? Attention. I mean I could say insecurity but that's oversimplified. A woman doesn't lack the gall to this obviously. a lot of these women are full of gall actually. But she lacks the confidence to believe in herself without a man's attention. So she flirts with him to get that attention. Sometimes it's always attention sometimes it's just to sharpen her claws (much like a cat does with a scratching post) sometimes it's just to see if she can. But the end result is the same when she has the guys attention, when the guy starts flirting back, that's when she stop cold. Because it was never about any interest she had in him. It was all about getting his interest.

I flirt with everyone… why not?

[Asker]

Don't know. Women just don't tend to flirt with men they don't find attractive

[BadApple69]

Because if a woman flirts with a man, the man will take her up on it. For a man, women ignore our flirting most of the time.

Some men just enjoy flirting

[Wise4myage]

Maybe they do like the girl?

[Asker]

Nah, when they see and talk to me alone they treat me like an ugly old hag

[Anonymous]

Because they like you. And they like teasing you.

[Asker]

He does it only in front of his friends. when we are alone he is almost rude and super disinterested

[Opinion Owner]

Sounds hot and cold or bait and switch.

[Asker]

Or he wants to give other people the illusion that he doesn't dislike me even though he does

[Opinion Owner]

A lot of guys do that. If he was nice all the time you'd get bored and lose interest in him. He knows what he's doing.

[Asker]

To most other women he is consistenly friendly even when they are alone
