(See, if I don't think the canon treats them well, I just find another canon. More relaxing! If you get me talking positively about fanon shipping, I've probably walked...like Naruto.)
But there's a major cognitive dissonance to the whole thing. (I think part of it is "I think he's hot anyway, and since I don't like them together, I'll have him be hot with someone else and she doesn't have to put up with him.")
(Really, let's face it, most girls in anime and manga really DO deserve better...I'm just forgiving because, in most of mine, there's some monomania and extreme devotion and the leaving of trails of dead bodies for your girlie, and I just get very forgiving when those things are going on...)
