If by "ruthless" you mean "won't take no for an answer", this is just women taking the easy option. In case you haven't noticed, women go to great lengths to avoid the possibility of having been rejected. The nice guy who takes no for an answer leaves them in a limbo, requiring a response from them, and women really don't like to make that sort of commitment.
An example: the first girl I ever tried to chat up told me to clear off and leave her alone, which I did. Throuought the rest of the class, I notice her glancing at me, but I thought nothing of it at the time, being quite oblivious, back then, to anything involving non verbal communication. It was more than a decade later, having become more adept at reading facial expressions, that I realised that, at first, she looked at me expectantly (yes, she expected me to try again, no doubt having been indoctrinated by her mother to this effect; if they don't try again,they are not really interested...). She then started to look puzzled, which then turned to anger (as I'd done what she(d asked; don't expect consistency from women). It follows that women mostly get to know those men who keep trying until they succeed, and come to believe most men are like that, and so the intial mistake reinforces itself...
