Ai Yori Aoshi, Chrono Crusade, Elfen Lied, NGE, Fate/Stay Night, FMP: Fumoffu, Grenadier (about every couple of minutes!), Genshiken, Love Hina, Midori Days, Please Teacher, Please Twins, Scrapped Princess, Lunar Legend Tsukihime, Steel Angel Kurumi, Trinity Blood.
I'm sure there's more but I don't watch that many ecchi series.

Wrong term, my bad. Self-righteous, arrogant prick is far more apt.

Well, of course it is a cliche. It's there for all those guys who watch anime to feel better about their dim and distant prospects....

Well, it wasn't as if real life was ever going to supply them with anything to begin with. So it really doesn't matter to them.

It also happens in medieval fantasy anime to a much smaller degree.
