Why do guys hit on their female friends?

Anonymous

So there is this specific set of guys in my class (I'm 22f by the way) and they're known for being a little dirty but are overall fine as I never talked much to them till about a couple months ago as we're all about to graduate. All the guys mentioned below are friends with each other for more than 4 years. So it's a group of like 8ish guys but I'll only be talking about 4 of them.

GUY 1: Used to have feelings for like 2.5 years for me but because I generally don't date or be intimate with anyone, I went on a single date with him and declined any further meetings as I felt we werent compatible. He abuses substances and had tried to get physical with me almost immediately which i stopped (he was drunk). I felt he wanted me as a prize (not that I'm one). He used to only casually hook up and after our 'date' he immediately started dating someone else. He would make the most explicit comments about me in front of all the other guys and would always offer sex to me. He stopped after a mutual friend told him to stop. I swear he did it to get attention.

GUY 2: he would say dirty things to many girls but more so with me. he has started to touch my upper thigh or offer to spend time alone. He would also always be in my personal space. He never dates due to religion and is a flirt. He has recently started to call me pretty, which is weird as he used to insult the way that i looked. after I left GUY 1 he asks me if I pleasure myself or how small I am down there.

Guy 3: was a close friend and had offered to take my virginity even tho he has a girlfriend of 4 years.

GUY 4: is my guy best friend. He never used to make inappropriate comments but has recently started. He would hit on me playfully which I don't take seriously at all.

I felt so sexualised by the things these guys say and wanted to know if it's a joke. My girl friends keep telling me it's because they are attracted to me. But how is that possible? What do I do? They used to be fine. What changed
