Jaime Lannister on Season 3: "You're a big, goofy-looking loser that doesn't know shit about shit, Brienne."
Fans: "Oooh! I think there's something there between them!"
Jaime in later seasons: "I have defied my house by outfitting you in the finest tools of your trade to better protect our sworn enemies. I have defied the social conventions of our culture by validating the skill, courage, and nobility you have been mocked for in the past. I have defied the crown and the only love that I have ever known by riding north to face impossible odds by your side in this forsaken wilderness. And I have done all of this because, after sacrificing my martial prowess (the trait by which I have defined myself my entire life) to aid you, I have come to hold you in the highest regard and the standard by which I become a better person."
Fans: "Meh."
Tormund: "I like 'em thick."
Fans: "Oh, they belong together! He truly loves her." *swoon*
And y'all ladies wonder why you got man problems.
