Romances can be as complex as friendships, and they don't have to be exclusively sexual, ie spike/buffy. I would LOVE to see someone come up with a nice, male male relationship, that contains sex without being completely ABOUT the sex, and instead dealing with the complexities of a homosexual relationship (which there are often more than a straight relationship).

Yes, romances can be just as complex but 9 times out of 10, they aren't written that way.

That's my main problem with fandom or the complete world of fiction in general. No one is writing complex Shakespearean relationships that explore the character of the writer's creation any more. They are just doing slash or romantic straight pairings because it's easy to do so.

As far as looking for a male male relationship, try Queer as Folk. Or at least the American version. It's a good show.

I did watch Queer as folk for awhile, but... ehhhh couldn't get into it.

but you're right about that... people are so damned lazy D:

I do agree with you there. Wholeheartedly. I do agree with the OP though, simply because in popular media heterosexual relations are default, and gay relationships often suffer from other problems that stand out first to me, such as tokenisn.

However in general? That's exactly why I can't stand most romance portayed in media; both the characters and their prior relationship is steamrolled over with stereotypical "romance"
