And sometimes they are drawn to relationships with other men who are not similar to themselves but also different from their preferred target :)) . I know quite a few like that (my partner and myself to begin with ;)))) ). It's actually the case for all gay men I've met until now :)) .

I agree with your taste here. I can't see what's special with the huy playing Legolas either (just like I've never understood what they had with David Duchovny ;))) . But Michael T. Weiss - Jarod in "The Pretender" - ... Yummy! :))) ).

In this case I have to disagree. All lesbian couples I've ever met could as well have been sisters, so alike they looked. On the other hand, they often have very divergent characters :) . Makes for interesting couples :)) . Christophe Grandsire. http://rainbow.conlang.free.fr You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
