I would use a stronger term than “jerk” to describe that kind of behavior; I had in mind the sort of assholish behavior that some men exhibit among other men (e.g., the condescension described a few comments upthread).

A man who treats women as if their main purpose in life is to be his potential girlfriends has a different problem, and I think most men who act like this are not so much socially awkward as socially mistrained.
