Why are the majority of love/dating quizzes on the internet designed for females? Quizzes such as for example 'does your crush like you back' etc..... There lots more subject related quizzes on the Internet as well that exclude males.

Personally I think it's sexist/discrimination

That sort of thing is sticky-sweet junk aimed at squeal-y teens and pre-teen girls (and it sends the message that all girls should be excited about it even if they're not). Be glad you're not part of the target audience for crap like that.

Probably because we’re supposed to be interested only in sex, and to consider everything else you do with a partner a pain in the ass you only put up with for the sake of sex.

Am I the only one who don't understand why OP assumes that this question is exclusively designed for females?

Because the questions on these quizzes are worded in a certain way say for example "do you catch 'HIM' starring at you in class"

Oh. I didn't know that, now I see your point.

It's not even gender. It's geared toward trivial people who cackle maniacally about things that wouldn't even make you or I blink. It also reeks of neurotypical. The people who get into those quizzes usually grow up with so little substance that they end up looking away from all suffering, and denying their own responsibility in anything.

Like: "Why work when guys buy me everything?" <-- that could be a woman, or a man saying that.

Well write Men's Health and ask them to make a quiz for men. They probably think most men aren't interested.

Why would "does your crush like you back" be designed for females? I find that a vital aspect which I want to know before obsessing about her.

Yeah. Some men actually are like that, but not me. I suppose I enjoy all those romantic things that typically are only in magazines geared towards girls.

Do you propose that romantic stuff is only for neurotypicals? I would have to strongly object to that suggestion.

It can be changed to "do you stare at her in class?" :mrgreen:
