It could be that they just don't want to play as much as you do. I'd consider seriously asking whether they want to continue - and be ready for a rough answer.
Or conversely, abandon a serious game mentality in exchange for a light hearted fun no-consequence DND game to match your players attitudes.
In the end if you're not having fun, you're not having fun. No DND is better than bad DND, as the saying goes.

I know what you're thinking: "In that flurry of blows, did he use all his ki points, or save one?" Well, are ya feeling lucky, punk?
Make one of the women a succubus. Show them you mean business. Either that, or go on a DM strike. If they’re not appreciating you and your DM skills, that’s bad, but if they’re just playing around, it’s ultimately the players’ decisions that refine the story and a completely serious story and over controlling DM makes D&D no fun. As far as them making too OP of characters, I would let them make their characters as OP as they can within the rules, but adjust the challenge accordingly.

I love this concept of emphasising how what you do in the world has consequences. A successful "rizz roll" might lead to eternal damnation as a demon, so that'll get him to think twice before being the horny whatever XD

Disclaimer: I'm not an optimizer. If I say something that's not fine-tuned to perfection, that's on purpose. D&D isn't an online tournament, it's a TTRPG where your imagination and the DM's compliance are the limits. I don't do "metas". If I can have fun with my thematically cool and still viable (both in and out of combat) concept, I'm happy. I'm not going for optimal stats; I'm going for optimal fun.
Make them get kicked out of a tavern or something if they're in one lol.

Hey!! I've played DND for maybe two to three years or so, so I'm still pretty new and only know the basics and such. I love SIlvery Barbs, and I'm always up to chat if you want :)
Adding on to the Succubus idea, make a beautiful woman a Night Hag they go to sleep next to, only to have her gone next morning. And every night thereafter they get an Ethereal Haunting. Better find that Night Hag again or die if you don’t. Sounds like a quest to me.
Oooh, let that consequence be campaign-long lollll

Just tell them to be better or leave, if they are actually interested, they’ll be better, otherwise, they leave (forcibly or not).

Thanks so much everyone! These are great ideas. Mr Rizz isn't going to know what hit him :)
"I roll to rizz the woman."
"You got a 20."
"Sweet!"
