It's channel 4 ennit.. Probably why ;)
Do the mixed-sex couples hold hands? If so, what's your problem?
Don't answer....I think I know.
Tbf, they usually don’t
I love this programme, but I haven't really noticed all the same sex couples!
There were a pair on last night. Wasn’t hard to determine the “masculine”one she was wearing all denim.
Yep cos its channel 4, come dine with me has its fair share too

Nothing like perpetuating a hoary old heterosexual (wrong!) stereotype is there?

It makes straight people who are deeply afraid of same-sex couples sleep easier if they can equate relationships to their own perceptions - this means there has to be a 'man' partner and a 'woman' partner in the set-up.

Talk to a few lesbian couples and you will find that relationships are far more nuanced and subtle than that which you reduce to comfortable stereotyping.

Stick around, I am sure jack and others can educate you - judging by the way you label complete strangers based only on your own narrow misconceptions, you certainly need it!
malagabob can also "determine" the "feminine" one in a gay male couple...obviously the one wearing the brightly-coloured (probably pink) shirt.....
Some of the comments on AB regarding gay couples really belong mid last century.

Indeed!

I am partial to a nice pink shirt myself, but of course, I am secure in my own sexuality - I'm not gay.

(But my boyfriend is!!!!)
Try as I might I just can't get my outrage on over this.
