because people are fragile egotistical jerks who think nobody else has the right to not be attracted to them.
I've been on many dates where the woman wasn't into me, and then get upset/offended I wasn't into her, because HOW COULD I NOT BE INTO HER SHE IS SO AMAZING. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME IF I AM NOT SUPER INTO HER. It's sadly common.
My favorite is a few people en who dumped me and I wasn't really that into them, so NBD. But they broke out into tears and crying and screaming because they wanted me to be upset and it was 'rude' and 'offensive' to them that I wasn't desperately crying and and I just that I just let them go 'so easily'.
A lot of people are incredibly selfish and messed up in the head.
Luckily for me, this was how my first LTR ended. I was completely floored by their 180, but I noped out instead of taking the bait, and that experience saved my ass more than a few times in the years that followed.
It's some real bullshit behavior, but I feel like I might've lucked out learning that lesson so early. Pretty telling that so many haven't yet grown past that early developmental stage, and some never do. ๐ค๐ผ
