Edit: because a few comments make me worry that some are taking this seriously - this meme is a play on the type of hopeless dating posts you might find in less healthy corners of the internet. The joke is a suggestion that the real problem is that one man in the image has some sort of arrow-attracting superpower.

It's the expression of interest by unattractive people that is annoying. Continuing past cues of disinterest is one of the most unattractive things you can do.

But often the person is perfectly attractive, it's just that the person they are hitting on is not interested and they don't take the hint. For example, as a straight man, I often get hit on by gay men. They're perfectly attractive men, it's just that I don't like men, and it has nothing to do with them being unattractive. I don't mind when a gay man expresses interest as long as he respects me saying that I'm not interested. It's when he continues to push, and ignores my closed body language and short answers, or outright dismisses my "no thanks", that's when it becomes uncomfortable, and that's what women are sick of too.

... did you read my comment? "Continuing past cues of disinterest is one of the most unattractive things you can do."

Behavior is part of attractiveness, it's not only physical.
