Can someone give me a real and deep answer? Why do so many men try to get flirty and sexual with women at work?

Well what do you mean? If it's simply flirting that you're talking about, men and women flirt with each other. Hell, I flirt with everyone I possibly can even if it's an 8- year old guy when I'm on the clock if I think there's a 1% chance it will benefit me. People like attention.

So, again, what specifically do you mean? If it's sexual harassment in your work place that you are experiencing, feel free to go report it. If you are observing the behavior of your coworkers and that is bothering you, bear in mind that there will be no moment of thanks for "freeing the women" as both men and women flirting would be creating the harassing work environment you describe, and the simpler solution would be to remove you from it into an isolated area to work, send everyone to a one hour course and call it quits.

Also cool your jets there, work for a while longer before judging what is or isn't professional behavior, it's the same as getting a degree, getting a job with it and wanting to change the system. Most of the idea you have are absolute garbage, the same with most ideas that I have. The only ideas that aren't garbage are the ones that have been tested and found to be more effective than current SOP, if the same or less effective, study the current SOP.

And finisher, not many people get sexual at work, like I have had sex at a couple jobs, mostly just for the thrill, and it isn't like there's a fuck room with beds laid out. There is no comfortable, safe, and clean place to have sex at work, at best you get one out of the three. The most comfortable being 24' box trucks with bench seats, but that was very unclean and unsafe.

Guys in your age range have hormones controlling everything. It can be a struggle to remain professional if you are not in a relationship. Shit, once this woman started working in my department that I just had the hardest time not just starring at her all the time. I never once cheated on my wife. But luckily this woman was ultra hot and not interested, cause I might have even been tempted back then. Seriously, I have never had a struggle not to pursue someone like I did with her in the 25 years I was married.

Convenience, imho. I mean that’s why so many office romances start in the first place, because you’re getting cozy with someone you see and interact with very regularly. Plus if you’re not much of an extrovert then you’re not meeting anyone outside of work, so your coworker becomes even more appealing. It’s a pretty ideal situation for a lot of men (especially those in a relationship, who get to carry on with their hot coworker all day then go on to their separate houses and lives). Honestly though, this question works for women just as much as men. Unless the guy is just a harasser who can’t take no for an answer, then he has a girl who’s entertaining his advances. She’s flirting equally which is just as bad and inappropriate.

They think any attention means you like them. They have trained themselves to think you being thoughtful or helpful means you like them. Guys don't realize some girls are just amazing at customer service and they are not hitting on you or flirting. I have had multiple times where me just doing my job was taken as flirting. You should be able to be sweet and helpful without guys thinking your flirting and hitting on them.

There's no real depth to this, men can get stupid and they get stupid, as simple as that.
Stupidity is the lack of judgment.
Most men can control impulsive behaviours such as sexual harrassment tendencies, we do have the necessary tools in our brain in order to keep this under control.
Some men just don't have this tools.
The other part of this problem is that for decades, most workplaces have decide to overlook or address these situations, which has created for both men and women to "tolerate", or to "accept", or "dismiss" this kind of stuff.

1.) Icebreaker - They have to speak with someone they probably wouldn't have approached in a social, public setting. Co-workers is a viable excuse for some men.

2.) Access - You're forced to work with these people, so you get to experience their personality that guys wouldn't normally have access to.

There are plenty more, but I've contributed enough. Be safe and good luck.

Some guys get the false impression that because she talks to him and laughs at his jokes that she has a crush on him. They don’t understand how hard it can be as a woman in certain work situations to fit in. So when they are at a bar, grocery store, a restaurant ; girls seem to ignore them or reject them. But at work they see someone who seems to not reject them and they choose to flirt heavily.

It's a fantasy thing. The "We really shouldn't be doing this" kind of feeling. At least for a lot of cases men or women, It's about the risk rather than the reward.

Because its a place where we see each other each and every single day, so of course we think it be the best place to find someone who may or may not be interested in us.

Men are like hunters wherever they can score doesn’t matter where it’s at they will try

The workplace is like any other place,
when a man is attracted to a woman, he tries to approach her in any way, regardless of the place and time
