This is a huge, huge, huge part of it that older generations don't understand because it isn't something they dealt with when they were navigating the dating world.

Absolutely. I know a previous poster mentioned the DUI factor as a downfall to the club/bar scene but that's not really it. It's this. Older generations had more respect and it would typically just be a respectful no. At worse it might be a giggle with the woman kind of thinking it's funny that specific guy had a chance with her.

Now though the risk is just a lot worse. Getting rejected and laughed at is the least of a guy's concern. So many women take it beyond rejection. Some actually seem to enjoy humiliating or destroying the man.
