Yh it’s actually pretty sad. The intention as always is obviously to show how amazing and brilliant and Main Character she is, so naturally all the hottest men love her, but it’s actually kinda sad. Having guy best friends who all secretly romantically like u and don’t see u as a friend isn’t anything good unless u like them back or would be open to seeing them in a romantic sense in the future. And if they’re ur only friends it means u don’t actually have (platonic) friends like it’s actually kinda upsetting when it happens irl and u realise they’re around u for that reason, and not bc of the deep friendship u thought u had with them. Obv some have more malicious intentions than others — ie only hanging around u for a chance to hit it VS caring deeply about u as a person but in a romantic sense. However both options are still sad in the end bc these guys aren’t on the same page as u, and the friendship u thought u had w them isn’t the reality
Aww, that’s right. Now that I think about it even her girl friend was actually paid to be her friend to observe her. Everyone who she thought was a close friend doesn’t see her the way she see them and their motives of being around her are different from her motives. I honestly would’ve like it better if the other guy remained platonic till the end, he doesn’t have to like her romantically just to show that the mc is so unique and different for accepting their dark sides. They could’ve shown his appreciation in different ways and actually flesh out the characters more
Kinda sad for her that all her male close friends likes her in a romantic way. It honestly gets annoying and sad after a while.
