Are fanservice-y characters (i.e. Lara Croft, Tifa Lockhart) immediately bad?

Lara Croft is the main character of her games and movies, and Tifa is a valuable support character in her games and movies.

Why do guys on dating apps often just first message "hey" or "hey how are you" instead of being more creative and unique? How do they think being a copycat will stand out?

It is entirely possible to have a sexualized character to be well written and vital to the story they are in.
