I think a lot of anons rely on either them being programed to like them, which is weird, or the hope that treating them like a person will elevate them in their would-be robowaifu's mechanical eyes, which has it's own issues.
I've had this scene in my head for a long while of two or three androids at a robo-bar, talking about boys and what they want in them. All at different levels of personality development, with one that's effectively a mature adult human leading the others on. When a younger, less-developed AI starts talking about her crush and why she likes him, the biggest reason she comes up with is that he treats her like a human.
And the mature robot puts on a gentle, melancholic smile, and gentle explains that she should get higher standards in men. That someone treating them as a person should be the baseline for someone you like, not something that immediately catapults them to lover status. How she's going to get hurt latter on if she continues like that.
