Martha realizing that she had to tell the Doctor to go fuck himself was the point of her arc. She pined and pined and didn't realize that she was better than that until she actually proved that she was. She got her chance to see how amazing she was in The Year That Never Was and she came out better.
Nine wasn't a romantic interest for Rose at all. That was just Ten. Nine was like a big brother/silly uncle to Rose. So it's only barely weighted on the side of "Doctor's companions always fall in love with him." Rose and Nine and Donna and Ten weren't romantic/sexual relationships at all. There was Ten/Rose, one-sided Ten/Martha, and one-sided Eleven/Amy which ended in a flash.
It's already been shown that the Doctor isn't confined to simply human standards of beauty. Nine flirts with Jade and with Capt. Jack. Just because he's shown being attracted to human women doesn't mean that's the limit of his sexuality. You can be pan and still date mostly one sex/gender. Doesn't mean you aren't pan. And it's already been pointed out that "humans look Time Lord" so it's not the Doctor simply falling for human women; human women happen to look like Time Lords, of which there are no more LOL. So the Doctor can still be an alien and a man; a Time Lord man who's attracted to women who look like women of his own alien race.
I'll agree with you on the points about unequal relationships though. That's why Donna is my favorite companion and why I find Eleven/Amy so squicky.
I don't think him having a romantic side necessarily has to do any of those things to him. You can be unhappy with the way his relationships are written (and you wouldn't be without reason) but dismissing the possibility of that side of his character because two people screwed it up in their own interpretations seems a bit premature. I'm positive it can be done well and frankly, S6 was the only season in which I felt the romantic side of things dominated the show, which is why I didn't like it. Previous seasons had romance but they still remembered to include the jaunts and aliens that I love about DW.
