Possible insight

[jere7my]

For Houses of the Muses, I've been thinking a lot about same-sex relationships. My general starting point is that they're a lot like mixed-sex relationships, but tonight I had a possible insight into a difference. I would welcome input from anyone who's been in a same-sex relationship, or who's had significant experience with same-sex attraction.

I have no idea, but I'm really intrigued by your point and would like to hear what you find out. ;) I've never asked a lesbian couple if they mentally compare hotness... Though to be honest, thinking of the gay couples I know, they do seem to be much more assortively mated than the mixed-sex couples--I know a number of straight couples where the question is always, wow, how did *he* end up with a woman like *her* or vice versa, but with the same-sex couples I know, they tend to be much more similar in build and physique and style, at least to the external eye. Could be sampling error, of course.
