Casual cruelty? Really?
The person responding is probably tired of all the advances they've had to deal with. You're not smooth. You're not the first person to say this. It's not impressing anyone, you're just being exhausting and wasting the time of everyone involved.
Also hitting on someone at random is weird and uncalled for. If you wouldn't cat call someone on the street why would you immediately jump into someone's dms and say something like this?
We have absolutely no context for the messages.
How does a cruel response help in any of the contexts you suggest?
There are very, very few situtations that warrant not being cordial to a fellow human being, as it's almost never, ever, helpful. To either party.
How does telling someone they're too ugly to talk to you encourage them to show you or anyone else respect?
To be clear, I'm not defending catcalling.
But there's a difference between informing someone that their actions offend, and insulting their entire person.
The latter only leads to improvement in behavior about as often as it makes it worse.
