Errol Vieth suggests:
 
"Interestingly though, in both the films above, the women like only the
cyborgs. In ROBOCOP 2 the women minders of Murphy are concerned about him,
are his mother/lover. Similarly in T2, Sarah Connor is, as the extract
above suggests, enamoured with the T100."
 
 
One thing about cyborgs besides the fact that they won't get abusive, drunk,
etc. is that they also are virtually parodies of the well-buffed action
hero in physical terms--and they aren't Sensitive Guys getting in touch with
their feminine nature (a catchphrase that invariably is used for comic terms
from Letterman to Batman).
