That leads me to wonder, do homosexuals have those issues? I have never quite understood why they seem to so often ditch the most appealing part of their lifestyle/orientation - not having to put up with the opposite gender's peculiarities - in favor of partners who most closely match said peculiarities. I would think one of the joys of cohabiting with a man would be an end to concerns about drapes or having decorative crap cluttering up utilitarian surfaces. But apparently not. Same thing for lesbians - is WNBA widowhood superior to NFL widowhood? The real NBA plays five times as many games as the NFL, so I can't imagine it's much of an improvement. So with that in mind, is it more acceptable to men to have a male partner who is 6'5" to your 5'10" than a woman who is 6'1"? Why? You are even more likely to lose a domestic violence incident in the former pairing. For women, do you feel better about dating a woman who is eight inches shorter than a man who is two? You are still towering over her, you are still unlikely to feel safe or reassured in your partner's company (that was the reason my grandmother once gave for why she would never want a short husband), and so on.
And if it IS an issue, does that mean homosexuals try very hard to find partners of close sizes? That would also have the beneficial side effect of allowing them to share clothes. Back when my brothers & I all lived together, sorting out the laundry and not getting clothes mixed up with a troublesome issue at times, because we are just similar enough in size that it is difficult to spot-check clothing size differences, but not close enough to easily share clothing. And with underwear, the fit is not as important, but even less appealing to put on someone else's by mistake. But why would sharing underwear be a problem if the stuff underwear covers up is overlapping from time to time?

Glad we got that straightened out.
