The only constructive part of the unhealthy pairing of a teenage girl and the Doctor, is that there won't be a repeat of that story line.

Donna was the only one who never forgot he was an alien. But RTD made it clear that Ten was not her "type" either, even if he was a human. If Amy saw Eleven in his "old age" stage, like Martha did with Ten, would she have jumped him?. I don't think so. Just because he looked young made it OK?. Age is just a number if the man look's "hot", apparently. According to RTD it was OK for Rose to lust after him because Ten reciprocated, even though he never expressed it for whatever reason.

I would never personally compare Rose to Lois let alone Clark to the Doctor. Lois is an adult and has a functional relationship with Clark which made their partnership plausible.

The only thing that Clark Kent and the Doctor have in common is that they are not human's and they like to protect planet Earth. Their characteristic's, motivation's and backstory are different from each other.

Some people like to also compare Rose and the Doctor pairing to Buffy and Angel. I think Buffy was more mature than Rose was.

In regard's to Gwen Cooper. There are still A LOT of post's that are "Anti-Gwen" than "Pro-Gwen". Which doesn't surprise me. But it made me think that it's possible that RTD wrote Gwen's "stupidity" as a jumping off point to create "character growth" for her. I'm grasping at straws I'm sure.
