All Men Are Perverts | |
| Just Friends / int_129749df | comment |
All Men Are Perverts: Almost all the men talk about is intimacy. Almost every character motivation is sex driven. Mike's whole character is wanting sex from Samantha. | |

Entitled to Have You | |
| Just Friends / int_ba907fe2 | comment |
Entitled to Have You: At times, Chris acts this way; part of Chris' Character Development is realizing that this is not how he should act towards Jamie. Dusty; as she never reciprocated his feelings during High School, he feels it's completely justified to use Jamie for sex now as 'revenge', and even mistakes Chris, who is legitimately attracted to her, for doing the same. He even has the audacity to use the song he 'wrote for her' (in actuality, a song he wrote that he uses on every girl, merely changing the name to compliment them) as a way to guilt trip her into dating him. | |

Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: Subverted; while the abuse is played for laughs, its made clear that this is just not healthy behaviour, and Chris calls Samantha out on her abusive antics when he finally decides to stop pretending to like her for his job. It's this realization that also makes him realize his own sexist actions concerning Jamie. | |
