So it all depends on the guys being spoken of. Of-course, it can be the other way round intentionally - for instance, making a student seme to a teacher gives the humiliation factor that the teacher's uke to someone younger than him. But the seme is almost always the more dominant one, with the uke being more feminine. I believe it is simply the way women mangakas prefer to illustrate gay relationships.
Yaoi, comment on Lie's entry Yay Yaoi! That's how I got it explained to me a long time ago. I have been called an Uke many times and haven't yet decided whether that is good or bad. Since I am neither homosexual or straight[I don't know what I am]. Oh and if you don't know of shuichi and yuki you better get reading Home Back. Question Forum.
A seme is the usually the one who tops, or is more aggressive in the relationship. Seme and uke are a term for yaoi readers to describe the top person and bottom person, or the more dominant, submissive. I believe they are abbreviations derived from Semeru-To attack Ukeru?
To start out with Seme and Uke are generally referring to the position of sex had in a yaoi male-on-male manga, or anime. Don't you guys know that Wikipedia has everything?! Well I have read many yaoi manga's. Been trying to figure out what seme and uke means for some time now and I think you described it pretty well.
Why is everyone talking about manga relationships when he asked about real life relationships? This varied usage preference similarly happens to English-speaking fan communities as well, though notably, people seem to be more inclined in using seme and uke when talking about original BL manga instead of transformative works. The not-strictly defined and switchable riba relationship appears to be less of an issue within the English-speaking fandom compared to the Japanese one.

The Japanese-proficient reader may like to note the following: The Japanese Wikipedia article on yuri does not reference the notion of "uke" or "seme". The glossary on the website of the "Lesbian Girls Club" in Osaka with the wonderful domain name "lesbian. But, things like dic. For reasons that are unclear to me, these terms, unlike "uke" and "seme", do not seem to have percolated from the lesbian community to fans of yuri media.
The basic takeaways are these: Using "uke" and "seme" for female-female relationships is weird and not generally done. Consequently, in yuri media, "uke" and "seme" are, again, not really used. However, "tachi" and "neko" are not really used by fans of yuri media either. Improve this answer. Although you could say that there is 'a man' in a yuri relationship, this roles can be easily reversed when 'the woman' takes the lead.
I've seen this happen many times before. And then that reversal could happen anytime. Terms arise from the need to describe something. And so that's why the term uke and seme arose from yaoi, However there is no need for that term in yuri because yuri is easily reversible.
