Are Gay relationships different from those that typically are between women and men?

I am not being critical,just curious. Over the years it seems from appearances only, that those individuals who prefer the same sex are content. It is merely observation only, however men who prefer the same sex seem to be more ';friendly'; with everyone whereas women who prefer the same sex appear to be more friendly with those of the female sex. I have seen instances where this is not necessarily valid however overall it appears to be this way. Perhaps I am limited on my observation of this however at this point I have this opinion-is it an appropriate one?Are Gay relationships different from those that typically are between women and men?
I woulnt say that gay relationships are any dofferent it only becomes different when ppl make it about sex ( which btw it isnt) i prefere the same sex and i would say im content, i have freinds male and female i do get on with women better, but my gf on the other hand gets on with men better than women , i dont think that your opinion is inappropraite , after al your opinion is yours and yours alone .Are Gay relationships different from those that typically are between women and men?
not really i mean were doing the same things in everyway
Nope!

Friendly? I'm friendly with everyone. If you mean sexual - as opposed to friendly -- and are using it as a euphemism -- then no, I've never had any sexual interest in females.





Beyond that comment I have no idea what you are asking, so answering it is beyond me. I'm sorry.





Kind regards,

for me its about the same as a hetrosexual relationship....we argue..we have debts...we laugh together...we plan for the future...we are faithful...we watch TV together...same as you guys do....its just different in the bedroom department.
Really, there's no difference. Most of the relationship questions that come up in the LGBT section could just as well be asked in the Singles and Dating section.
i think it has to do with stereo types, not saying ur doing it on purpose but they are forced on us. if you think about how stereo types are some how inbeded into us even if you know for a fact that they are not true.
saying that lesbians don't like the male sex is stereotypical....however, i do know what your talking about... I have many lesbian friends that do not like males at all...however, i have an equal amount that doens't mind them at all...it really just depends on the person. My ex had a big problem with me being bisexual because she hated men... so its just personal preference
They are different because same-sex couples understand each other more because they are of the same gender. So for example if a girl is crying another girl would know how to comfort her.

Is online relationships / affairs healthy? What do you think?

In my view, it is not. Human should interact, fall in love and do the courting naturally. If it's just getting a contact number from chat rooms, i feel that it's still okay...cause then, it's kinda like giving out your business card virtually. But to go on and on with online relationships or affairs i do not think it's healthy. Human should be humans, and not letting their minds and hearts be controlled by computers or some figure from the internet. What do you think?Is online relationships / affairs healthy? What do you think?
Anything in this world can be unhealthy. Anything. Face to face relationships can become just as ';unreal'; and ';unhealthy'; as a virtual one. It is truly all in how you look at it. 100% your attitude and how you handle relationships. I now know over 10 couples who started an ';online'; relationship and are married or seriously dating and are incredibly happy. One of them moved from Italy to be with her love. She met him HERE in Answers ... they're getting married in October.





Of course you run risks. That's inherent in this type of situation. People can lie and live a false reality ... but can't they do that in real life as well? How many times have you heard about the guy who has a wife in one state ... and a long time girlfriend in another? Happens all the time. More than anything it is about THE person - not the mechanism.





There are things you can do to protect yourself online. Like use a cam so you can see the person right off and at least know they are who they are in there photos and description. It's much easier to get a feel for someone you can ';see'; and ';talk'; to. You can also plan on meeting right away (very safely of course) so you can find out if you ';click';. I would never carry on a lengthy online relationship and not meet the person relatively quickly because then all these feelings are invested and you may not end up ';meshing'; in person. This also happens all the time.





There are also many positive sides to online dating. It brings people together from all over the world. You never know who your soul mate is going to be ... or who your next really good friend may be. I have a guy friend ... met him online ... he's in Canada ... it started out romantic, but we realized we make much better friends after meeting. So we have been friends for almost 5 years now and are so close! I wouldn't trade that for the world. If I had shut out the notion of ';online relationships'; I'd be missing this amazing person in my life.





You can never tell who your soul mate is going to be. I don't think you should ever shut out possible pathways to that person. You just have to be mature and smart about it. It is possible ... I've seen it time and time again in online relationships. In the busy world we live I think this is going to be the more common dating ritual as time goes on. A computer cannot possibly control your mind or heart ... that is all your choice. The computer again ... is just a mechanism. There are bad people everywhere ... it has nothing to with the ';computer'; itself. Keep your mind and heart open to all possibilities, but play it safe. In the end it's up to you ... a human behind a computer is still a human. You never know which human in this world is going to be the love of your life ... don't shut him out for fear of the unknown. Find a way to make it ';known'; ... and then follow your heart.





Peace ... to you.

Its not like They r healthy but its like getting stupid enough having an affair with a person in another part of the world.


Its O.K. to make a loyal friend to whom you can trust upon and open ur heart and make yourself feel lighter!
To each it's own.





We are not in a position to judge how people live their lives. If one chooses to carry on with an online relationship, so long as it is not hurting anyone where is the problem?





The problem is when people hide behind computers and pretend to be anything but who they really are. Then the question is not about intimacy and love--rather why are you hiding behind a computer and pretending to be someone you are not? What is really going on?
Ditto what Christee said.





Well put!
I completely agree with you. I often think that if you have an ';online relationship'; in the romantic sense, it turns more into an affair with an idea, which we is hard enough to deal with in real life. We just call it ';infatuation.'; So yes, we should keep it face to face. However, I find it interesting that you're posting this question on an internet forum...how bout giving me a call sometime???
Totally agree it is not healthy. Online personalities do not reflect the true person.
You know I am glad you asked this question.





The Internet, or as I like to call it, the iNet is a miracle and marvel of our modern age.





It has introduced everyone on our planet today to the possibility of VR (a.k.a. Virtual Reality) and along with what our friends in the field of quantum physics are discovering, the possibility that nothing is real! Or at least as ';material or physical'; as we once thought.





Isn't ';enlightenment'; and ';awakening'; just peachy?





And yes, we will soon take another grand leap into another layer of VR! Do you know about Atlas? http://atlas.ch/





God, oh God! I love this stuff.





I can never be sure about anything!





It lets my imagination run or fly free!








And everyone today is telling me I can create my own reality!





Ha! If I could do that, really do that, don't you just imagine this world, this universe would be a far, far different place?
totally agree, its creepy because you really have way of know whats true about the other person.

Do you think that online or long distance relationships are sincere and last?

just wondering


please answer both questions.Do you think that online or long distance relationships are sincere and last?
It all depends on how serious you are and how much work you are willing to put into the relationship. I met my fiancee on line 2 1/2 yrs ago. Do you think that online or long distance relationships are sincere and last?
Depends on the circumstances. I think long distance relationships can work, as long as the distance is only for a short space of time and you are both clear about the future and what you want. Personally I do not think internet dating is a good idea, although it has to be said I have been hearing more and more success stories of internet love, but its not for me.
I'd say that it doesn't matter. What matters is the maturity/perseverance/patience/love and so on to each relationship that makes it sincere and lasting.





I don't necessarily recommend online relationships unless you know this person, however, and I mean that you've met face to face and so on.
Why not? Online relationship is great. My wife is met through an online dating site called http://www.wealthychats.com , we experienced the online relationships for months, then we found we are the righ one for each other, so, we are happily married now.
no

Have you/Do you feel like everyone dislikes you or that you dont have any true relationships?

Also...Do you think this is a common feeling that atleast we all feel once in a while?








Me: Ive been feeling this way lately, questioning maybe theres something wrong with me, maybe thats why I feel my relationships just suck, in general. Then i think this is a normal feeling, since humans are always judging ourselves and striving for something more than we already have.Have you/Do you feel like everyone dislikes you or that you dont have any true relationships?
I actually like myself quite a lot. I realized a long time ago that I am the person I am going to have to spend the most time with in my life. If I don't like myself, I'd better do something about it quick. Why would I ever... EVER want to spend time with someone I don't like? Why?





I never feel that everyone dislikes me or that I don;t have any true relationships. I know I have a few true relationships, and I know that I have a lot of relationships that are based on people wanting to use me. I'm well aware of my surroundings. I know I am not a popular person. I do not try to be popular in the least. Life is to short to waste time on trying to be popular. That is the manipulation of others, and it is all about putting up a false front.





I tell it like it is. I call 'em like I see 'em. I tell the truth. If someone calls me rude, that's fine. They are entitled to their opinion, and they are entitled to be wrong. Sometimes they aren't wrong, and I will be rude AND honest at the same time. Sugar coating is a waste of time. You know that old saying ';You can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar?'; Have you ever tested that saying? Guess what... flies are actually more attracted to the vinegar.





The first person you have to get comfortable with is yourself. No one else matters. No one. Once you are comfortable in your own skin, and you don;t second guess your personality anymore (like you are now), you start to realize who your true friends are... and you make better friends. Because people become the friend of the person they see... and that is the person YOU see. They become comfortable with you, because YOU re comfortable with you.





You will never be friends with everyone. So don't even try. Be friends with yourself. Others will follow.Have you/Do you feel like everyone dislikes you or that you dont have any true relationships?
Yes...I have been feeling that way lately...I have a crush on a guy at the moment and he knows that I like him...I try communicating with him but I feel that he hates me or something..I feel totally rejected. I do think that this is feeling we get once in a while. God made you the way you are for a purpose...and im sure He has created someone that loves you for who you are.


Well, there you go! I hope that'll help. God bless!
I think there are time regardless of age that we all feel the way you are explaining. Whether we are 4 or 80, I think we all have times where we are feeling insecure about something.





I think what is more important is that we are not so hard on ourselves and allow ourselves to remain in that more of thinking for long!
You need to have more confidence on yourself. Sure, I feel like that sometimes, once you broke up with a relationship and you usually feel no one likes you. But do not let anyone take away your self-esteem.
I HAVE TO SAY LATLY MY BF I THINK IS TRYIN 2 BRAKE UP W/ ME AND IM SCARED ITS GONNA HAPPEN AND ALL MY TRUE FRIENDS HATE ME LATLY BECAUSE IM DATIN HIM AND IVE BEEN SO DEPRESSED LATLY...IM KINDA SCARED
Sometimes :(

What is the difference between inverse and direct relationships in the gas laws?

generally, for any laws in physics, when you say inverse relationship, as one increases, the other decreases. direct relationship means as one increases/decreases, the other also increases/decreases.

What do you guys think about Doctor-Patient Relationships? Good or Bad?

I just want to get your opinions cos I think its bad and during a converstaion with a friend whos is a medical student, she said its a good thing as long as it doesn't intefere with the Doctor's work. How true can that be?What do you guys think about Doctor-Patient Relationships? Good or Bad?
Are you saying ';Doctor-Patient'; relationship as in DATING? Because thats probably not what the medical student means. Doctor-Patient relationship refers to the interaction of physicians and patients on a professional basis.





Physicians aren't supposed to date their patients, since that violates the ';doctor-patient'; relationship.What do you guys think about Doctor-Patient Relationships? Good or Bad?
I was told a long time ago ';Don't **** (defecate) where you eat';.





If you're talking about sex between Dr. and Patient is not advisable and unprofessional.
As long as it's professional it's a good thing.





If it's a personal relationship, it depends. If the patient is still under treatment, i'd say it's not good. When it's outside practice and won't interfere with treatment, i think it's okay.





I personally prefer not to get too personal with my patients.

Can relationships really work when the woman is the bread winner?

I am dating a guy that I adore. Due to some physical problems, he is limited to the work he can do. I make really good money and have a lot of time in on my job. He gets frustrated sometimes because of this situation. However, I am willing to be patient and I do not mind being the bread winner. He is a great cook, a great house keeper and takes care of business.... all the things I hate. How can I make him more at ease about our living situation.Can relationships really work when the woman is the bread winner?
Yes this kind of relationship can work. Though he is being a typical guy.





You could try to praise him for all the stuff he does....but not mussy girl praise...make it more guy praise(like the kind you'd get a work).





You could step back and give him a bit more power to fill the vacuum he feels.





You could always keep yourself in check and not say stuff like your the bread winner....to him and others.Can relationships really work when the woman is the bread winner?
Sounds like you have a good relationship.
