Yeah, when I try to think of pairings I like, most of it is pure "coming together of equals"(like Zoe/Wash, kinda Will/Elizabeth...socially, of course, there's a huge difference, but they balance each other out perfectly) or the male benefits more or should just thank heaven he landed the girl(Kyo? In no universe will he ever be good enough for a nice girl like Yuya. Madmartigan? So out of his league with Sorcha that it's cute. Veronica/Logan? Speaks for itself. Etc.)
Thinking of the reverse, where the girl benefits more...well, there's Faith/Wood, though, to be honest I really liked their relationship and I think he's one of the best things to ever happen to her, but I just don't see them as more than friends a couple years down the road. (I'm told, though, that the season 8 comics addresses that, so I have to read at least that part of it...really, the only thing that interests me about it.) Max/Logan is a possibility, but while she benefits more personally, she makes his goals a lot more possible, and does things no one else can for him(even Alec-who seriously needed to get with Asha-is only there because Max is the first person, aside from Rachel, to ever care about him as more than a tool.)
Honestly, in general, i'm fine with the guy benefitting more, if only because it often just makes them that much more devoted, and lets face it, monomania can be pretty hot if you can understand where it's coming from.
