Because I wrote it up as a personal squick and wasn't thinking that people might see it as a judgment of the tropes in general. I don't like it when it's the guy saying no, but it doesn't squick me as much. Maybe because it's usually played for laughs and she's pretty clearly not meant to be sympathetic, like Timmy and Trudy from Fairly Odd Parents.

The woman saying no thing just so ridiculously common in media I didn't even think it would ping as a general negative thing. Even just yesterday I'm playing Avengers Academy on my phone and it's -
Tony: Want to go out sometime?
Pepper: Eww, no, you're so immature and annoying. I'd never date you.
And then I upgraded Pepper's armor, which in the game story means Tony's doing it.
Pepper: Wow, I really love this new armor, Tony. Maybe I was wrong about you and we should go out!

And I spent a lot of time being very disappointed at the game.

Ugh. The whole idea that women are universally interested in men who are strong/rich/whatever and that a man acquiring one or more of these traits will always cause women to change their minds - SO annoying.
