I was having this discussion with a few girl friends. My view is they won't unless they like you.
They will give up after a few tries, especially after the woman has angrily told them to stop bothering them. But the question is, what if the guy still seems to pursue but in a less explicit way? Logically speaking, this will not happen. But what if it does? What if the man still shows you in a very subtle way that he's still interested? My explanations are:
1) That guy just doesn't get the message;
2) He gets the wrong message;
3) He doesn't get the wrong message but it's the woman who's not being truthful to herself -- ie, she does like him but refuses to admit that. And the guy knows about it.
4) He is a player and is still pursuing because he likes the challenge. (But this means that we're falling into the conspiracy theory thinking and thus is not logical at all!)
