We discuss relationships, gay and straight couples and modern relationships. Your blog is very fun and irreverent. You focus on straight couples, for the most part, do you think there is a significant difference between long-term dating for gay men, and straight couples? Katy Horwood: Yes I think it probably is.
Relationships are so individual that I think it probably depends on the couple, having said that and obviously I can only speak from personal experience! I find that the gay couples I know who are in long-term relationship can be more open-minded about flexibility in relationships.
Especially when there are so many hookup apps targeted to gay men. Have you found that, and is it a similar problem in relationships that begin in person? Katy Horwood: I hate dating apps!! Maclynn: Our team of matchmakers have backgrounds in psychology and sociology, and we use it to find gay, professional couples we think will have an emotional bond. Romance has been known to grow from less-then-auspicious beginnings.
How important do you think open-mindedness is when it comes to looking for a life partner? Katy Horwood: Again, open-mindedness is so important. Maclynn: What are the main obstacles that people set up for themselves when looking for love?
More importantly, people make rules for new relationships based off previous ones. They also focus on one not-so-important detail or another instead of looking at values, characteristics, and energy. Is there a common thread you have seen? Katy Horwood: Agree with all of the above. Meeting people is hard enough without giving yourself the extra drama of preconceived ideas and expectations β and as for looks? In , Rachel took a leap of faith. Following a series of serendipitous events, she founded Vida now known as Maclynn in London and never looked back.
