I agree, the "typical male courtship behavior" in the media seems to be Aggressive - at least how men are "supposed" to be.

Examples of Caregiver-Infantile in the media:

Perhaps --

the Mary Jane - Peter Parker interaction in the Spider-Man movies
Dharma and Greg
Jeannie and Tony in I dream of Jeannie
Mary and Dick in 3rd Rock from the Sun
