Since you put this under "Polls..." as opposed to "dating", I'll presume that this is a hypothetical situation. Furthermore, assuming this is about you, you didn't say how old you are and how old your "masher" is (you're probably too young to know what that means!), and whether this is a school or work situation or a guy you met on the "street", etc.
Regardless, there are some women who like the "thrill of the chase" and/or don't want to appear "easy"; some men know this, and continue to hit on such women. On the other hand, some guys just don't get the "hint"!
If the guy continues to make unwanted advances, and you (or whoever) genuinely don't like him in that way, then you needn't be "brutal"; all you need to do is say, "I've tried to be nice about this, but I don't want to pursue a relationship with you, beyond what we currently have. I'm asking you to leave me alone, or I'll report you to the boss/principal/police". If he keeps it up, then he's mentally deficient as well as a jerk, and you'll be forced to follow through on the "threat", or he'll think that you are "joking around". If you're living with your parents, you should inform them of this situation, regardless of your age.

You have to be as brutal as you have to be. Try flipping the situation. Would you ever treat anyone like that? If someone tells you not to do something, do you respect that?
So, you can measure his level of respect by how he is treating you, and if he doesn't have any, you don't have to either, and I wouldn't feel guilty about doing whatever needs to be done to get the point across.

Well, once has always worked on me, but then some men still think no either means 'I'm thinking about it' or just plain old 'yes.'
I think it's because some of my half of the human race think they're utterly irresistible to all women (normally in spite of conclusive evidence to the contrary) and can't compute the word 'no' when it's given in response to 'fancy a f*ck?'
Remember, lots of men are still Neanderthals... sadly I think that may be insulting Neanderthals... but I hope you know at least some Homo Sapiens Sapiens (yes, it is meant to be repeated!) in amongst them.

Sometimes they think you aren't being serious with your rejection. There are times when you just have to be brutally honest in order to get your point across. Sometimes you just have to say "Look , I find you repulsive and you make me want to vomit. Either leave me alone or I'll call the cops. Thanks." Make sure you don't smile or say it sweetly.

Get as "brutal" as you need to if he still doesn't get it! A "NO" is what it is. Men (and women) don't take it so "easily" because they always want it their way and were not taught that in life, you can not have it always all when you want!!

Slap him across the face, tell him you aren't interested and get a guy to call him up claiming to be your boyfriend. . . Have this other guy threaten him if he doesn't leave you alone. That should be enough for any man.

I just want to point out that women take no for an answer just as much as men, gender has nothing to do with it it's personallity that makes the difference. The same is true for the answer to your question:it depneds on the guy and his personallity.

i have not found a man that would listen when i say NO that is why men are good sales men they keep bugging you. I think in a relationship a man feels that he is "the boss" and that he should get what he wants when he wants it.... least thats how my B/F acts and i just gotta yell at him and walk away!

Try the sharp end of a stiletto heel, that usually gets the message across.
