    What’s the logic here? Just a bruised ego?

    Yes, coupled with a lack of maturity—a bruised ego alone does not a ridiculous rejection response make.

    It’s the exact same reason women do it, when they do. There are plenty of posts on the ‘nice girls’ subreddit over the years of a woman doing the exact same ‘you’re ugly anyway’ nonsense as an immediate reaction to rejection.

    This is a human phenomenon, not a male one.
