it's because skip is a power dynamic they still feel comfortable with and it's non threatening to their ideals of relationship norms. it's a pretty straightforward romance and there's a financial and social imbalance within the couple. it's more familiar to them

Skip is a Hallmark relationship. This Christmas movie is literally about to be a classic Hallmark movie

Gay dude here. I just find the yearning with bad commmunication and toxic behavior trope intensely irritating. Skip is simple feel good stuff, escapism.

it's so funny to me that everyone in the comments here think skip it's more heteronormative than hollanov, the hard topXbottom couple. talk to real life queer men (and preferably older queer men that have more experience in relationships) and ask them why they relate to skip more

i still don’t understand why people enjoyed skip sooo much, like don’t get me wrong i liked it to but from a storytelling perspective the hollanov story is just so much more compelling

A lot of older gays love skip tho it’s not just for the hets

It’s because Skip is way, way more stereotypical straight relationship coded. What we enjoy with Hollanov is threatening and unfamiliar to them. In short… it’s patriarchy.

One of my gay bffs (in hus 50s) also loves Skip waaaaay more than Hollanov. He says it's bc Kip is a regular guy and not a jock 🤷♀️

What do you mean? skip is popular with actual queer men and women because it’s a realistic representation of a healthy queer couple. I don’t understand this “power dynamic” talk when they have a realistic QUEER power dynamic.

As a gay man I’m way more invested in skip but I also much prefer the cheesy rom-com of it all

I like Skip because it feels closer to an actual queer relationship to me. Maybe TMI, but as someone who is verse, and prefers to be with other verse guys, Skip is perfect because that’s what they’re giving us. Most mlm media (including Hollanov) has a very clearly defined top/bottom dynamic. In my opinion it’s to make it more palatable to the straights. Scott and Kip are both verse and regularly trade roles. I personally relate to them more. I still love Hollanov though. They deserve sunshine too. ☀️

I've seen a few therapists/psychologist explain it as Skip is the couple with the more conventional, hetereonormative dynamic and love story and that's somehow less "threatening" to straight men than Hollanov. Not saying that all straight men are threatened literally, but that's how I've seen it explained quite a few times.

ah yes men just love skip cause of “heteronormativity” and “power imbalances”! can’t speak for straight men, but maybe a lot of queer men can resonate w their story. they want love that’s honest, mature, communicative. love that doesn’t play games or beat around the bush. I don’t get why we have to compare, generalize, and dismiss whatever men, whether queer or straight, prefer

My guess is it's because that episode was rushed and there was very little character development so they could project whatever they want into skip

The divide i noticed was between emotional maturity haha some of my friends preferred skip bc they actually communicated and acted like sane adults vs i felt very seen by both shane and ilya bc they were messy but still got their happy ending (hopefully i will too)
