Dora is essentially dating female Sven

(1/3) > >>

QuestionableIntentions:
Others probably figured this out way before me, but I just realised Tai is essentially Sven in female form.

She coasts through life, had many different sex partners,is a chaotic boss, does music and has even hit on Faye.

The only difference is that she managed to date her love interest.

Scarlet Manuka:
I think a more significant difference is that Tai has been looking for a long term monogamous relationship for almost as long as we've seen her.

Tova:
Also, their personalities seem quite different.

I’m sure that the set of people sharing the attributes you’ve listed has many distinct members.

Wingy:
There's a major difference: Tai is looking for someone to settle down with; Sven is under no such delusion and is just out to keep his wick wet.  (I grant that maybe this last statement is a wee bit of an overstatement, especially as Sven seems to be finally beginning to understand he might enjoy a long-term committed relationship.  Maybe even with May.  But that certainly describes his overt behavior to date.)

Tai also has issues about who she is sexually and her reaction to her own anatomy - moreso than many women I've known.  Sven has none of these concerns.

So based on those differences, I must disagree.

They have similarities, but Tai strikes me as way more down to Earth. She also seemed a lot less impulsive when another’s feelings are on the line. Even back when she was bed-hopping, she struck me as more considerate about the “campsite rule” with her hookups. Sven—while lazy—comes off as more Type A. He has a manager and makes lots of income. While he does have luck, that kind of success requires some work and attempts to gain business knowledge along the way. It is way easy to get screwed in the music industry.

Tai always recognized how she was, but she carried a massive flame for Dora and settled down when they ended up together. This shows she doesn’t have emotional issues that got in the way of her enjoying a healthy LTR. Sven isn’t quite there yet. He seems to be trying to work on himself though, and he seems a lot more thoughtful than he once was. Probably not ready to attach to anyone yet, though (although he was really kind to help out and be honest with May).
