I've barely even played the first since it came to PC, but what little time I did play involved her being oppressively smarter-than-thou with all the predictably stereotypical "hurk durk me strong man me know better me mansplain" dudes she interacts with, or the occasional gaslight girlboss male manipulator that's obviously disgusting to her as well.
Perhaps later in the game she will have a healthy, nice friendship with a male, but I fucking doubt it. I'm sure it's all condescension and assholery.
There were two interactions with men that I liked. One was the weird rival who helps clear out enemy strongholds and then duels with her. I recall it being fairly smarm free. More just two warriors respecting each other.
The other was with the fat guy in the DLC. I really liked his story. He just misses his mom and wants to relive a fond memory of her. Aloy was, thankfully, not a bitch to him and actually rather sympathetic. That surprised me.
I like Silens' interactions with her. Mostly because he's one of the few people who doesn't take her shit or worships the ground she walks on, and identifies a lot of her self-importance as childish whining when there is more important stuff going on. It helps that he's the only character who actually feels like he comes from pulpy science fiction story (even if he sounds like he should be on a starship rather than an overgrown Stone Age-era world full of oogah-boogahs), and isn't just some modern-day college intern playing in someone's film project.
