Well, staffs barely writes male characters well in the first place, Spike has unreasonable lovestruck when he already has a younger mare than the crush in front of him, not even the legendary Discord is immune to it (season 9 one is the infamous one).
Good well written males don’t have much screen time, aka Sunburst, Big Mac (the most screen time stallion), Shining Armor and so on.
