Well I just think Ben was more intellectual than Michael and I know that isn't a thing that should make a difference and I don't think it does for most people but they always made Ben look more intelligent than Michael.

Michael didn't have the caring or compassionate nature that Ben had (although maybe that was supposed to be a good thing and he was supposed to help Michael with that). He often cared about things and Michael would argue about why they couldn't do things or help people.

Ben was supposed to be the hottest guy ever and had even slept with Brian and Michael was not the hottest guy out there so I don't know. It always seemed that Michael ended up with the hottest, buffest guys who everyone else would want but little old Michael got them - really? Again I know it can happen in real life and it's all about what's on the inside that counts not the outside but I don't know it just doesn't seem right to me Ben and Michael.

Michael always seems to forget or not be very understanding of his HIV status. Again I guess that's because they want to say things on the show but don't you think your partner would try and be understanding and remember your issues? He does the same with Hunter as well and only thinks about himself and Ben has to tell Michael all the time about the issue they're facing - just trying to say things within the story I guess but all the time?

They had totally different views on food and lifestyle. They didn't like any of the same things at all and again I guess that was supposed to help Michael to improve himself or something? I don't know - they just seemed to be so different in so many ways.

Maybe it's just my negativity towards Michael that I see it like this .
