Why is it considered cool for girls to say something along the lines of "giving a guy a chance" in the context of relationships?

I mean if we're talking about hookups it might make sense but otherwise it's basically saying

1- You find it cool to start a relationship with someone you don't like just as if you're "doing them a favour" and breaking their heart

2- You're also so proud of yourself for being so manipulative and careless of his feelings. You're manipulative to the point that you view yourself as someone kind giving someone more than what they deserve.

3- You consider that a relationship is the man's chance to prove his worth. While your only role in a relationship is to evaluate his worth.

Edit: If you're uncertain, you're "giving it or us a chance" and that's very different than saying "giving him a chance"

I mean, if we're friends and you use this expression, please don't take this as if I'm talking about you, but I just can't help but see it this way.

If the relationship is new and we have not had a chance to explore our personalities or chemistry together I would consider her “giving it a chance “ to find out honest and helpful
