Thought about it for awhile and It probably follows that a lot of shonen anime and manga follows some courtly love structure which emphasizes loves from afar combined with samurai negative attitudes towards women. Courtly love focuses on epic adventures and deeds and the consequences of courtly love often ties into adultery and tragedy like with Lancelot and Guinevere. Which of course ties to broad ideas from Egyptian and Greek mythology.

Manga like Hokuto No Ken and Saint Seiya go deep into these ideas. I doubt female fans understand they're playing into these kind of medieval ideas when they act like they do. Of course most of them would probably be perfectly fine with a hero acting with no reward.
