I know I'm probably going to bitterly regret starting this thread and am bracing myself - but sod it, it's a question I'd quite like to know the answer to.....

Ta for all your replies! Most insightful....gosh

Hello No, just women who live totally alone

Hi Yes of course (latest stats show that there are now 7 million people living alone in UK and just as likely to be men as women) but the reason I am asking for a woman is because,in general, we tend to only feature women's stories in the mag (as it's a women's mag) However we're looking for a gay (male) couple because it seems that more gay men have entered into civil partnerships than gay women so is more reflective of what is going on.

working on piece about the changing nature of households/families in UK and looking for people who fit these particular scenarios for interview/photo shoot....(it's a 'nice' monthly magazine, copy approval given) So, if you are: part of a (male) gay couple who have entered into a civil partnership are a couple whose grown up kids have moved back to the family home for financial reasons - can't afford rent, saving up for deposit on property etc (if you're the 'grown up' who has moved back home please get in touch too) you are a woman in your forties or fifties and you live alone You are a stay at home dad - you've given up your job/put your career on hold in order to stay home and look after the kids whilst your partner goes out to work Many thanks Emc

Hello - just registered on this forum. I'm a single parent too - my daughter is 21 months old....have lots and lots of friends in the area, plus family but would be nice to be in touch with other single parents locally as I think there are certain things only another single parent can understand (the sheer exhaustion mostly!) Want to start dating again too....Guardian Soulmates isn't coming up with the goods...any decent men out there?
