The whole idea that a man wanting a RelationshipUpgrade with his female friend is an \\\"entitlement issue\\\" has a lot of sexist implications.
Allow me to explain. If we reverse the genders, you get a GirlNextDoor and her hot male friend, who she has a crush on. He doesn\\\'t quite feel the same way, but she\\\'s hoping that he\\\'ll reciprocate her feelings for him, and she tries to get him to feel the same way. Is she \\\"entitled\\\" because she wants a romantic partner instead of just a friend? Is she \\\"forcing\\\" or \\\"expecting\\\" anything rather than just hoping and working towards making something happen? Imagine if we regarded females in this situation with the same disdain and suspicion as males. Pretty unfair for her, right?
Well, why isn\\\'t it the same for a guy? Why is he the bad guy because [[TheFourLoves he happens to love her in a different way than she loves him]] (note that \\\"love\\\" is \\\'\\\'not\\\'\\\' [[AllMenArePerverts \\\"lust,\\\"]])? I think the mentality that AllMenArePerverts has a lot to do with this, because people assume that by \\\"a romantic relationship,\\\" he really just wants \\\"sexual favors\\\" out of the girl he is pursuing. He doesn\\\'t want to settle down with a wife and kids; he \\\'\\\'clearly\\\'\\\' just sees her as a LustObject! He\\\'s not hurt because he\\\'s heartbroken and turned down; he\\\'s just angry because he\\\'s not getting [[{{Futurama}} snu-snu]] or that he can\\\'t \\\'\\\'\\\'own\\\'\\\'\\\' her!
