It sounds like you're talking about "interactive" poses. You should see two presets for the same "pose", with either the name of the reset or the image differentiating which is which. Frequently both will.
I don't know which set you're using, but let me show you what I mean with that kind of set I do have. Give me a few minutes to get some screenshots. I'll be right back.
Okay. I have five screenshots for you. Each shows a different approach the PA took with the presets. These are the development figures from the G8 Starter Essentials, with the female tinted light red and the male tinted light blue. (You may also notice I've used G8M poses on G8F and vice-versa. I was just being efficient, as this computer takes forever to load figures.)
1. In this pose set, the dark red figure displays the pose. I used pose 29M on the female and 30M on the male. (M stands for "mirror" so poses 30 and 30M are mirrors of each other.) This number convention is different than most of my pose sets, in that it uses two numbers for each pose grouping, one for each pose. Other sets, including the other four examples here, use one number for all the poses in a set, and indicate who the pose is for in other ways.
2. This pose set tells you which pose is for the Fairy and which is for the Giant. It also tells uses the figure names, Mika8 and Ollie8, and includes the same pose for the base G8F and G8M figures. And if that isn't enough, there is the pink dot in the upper right corner of the female poses, and a blue dot in the upper right corner of the male poses. The base image of the pose for the preset, however, is the same for all four presets.
3.This pose set shows the pose figure in a solid color, much like the two figures I'm using. G8F is pink, G8M is blue, and the gray figure just shows how the two go together. This set also mentions which figure the pose is for, G8F or G8M, in the name of the preset. (You will also notice there are three presets that appear to be identical. I didn't try them all, but when I chose the G8M that is next to the G8F in the right column shown here, the male figure was posed correctly but centered where the female figure is currently standing. When I chose the third preset for both, the figures ended up as you see here.)
4. In this pose set, the presets use an L and R in the lower corners of image. (I like that the L in the lower Left corner and the R is in the lower Right corner!) It also states in the preset name that the pose is the left or right pose in the image. This set is intended for two males. If you look closely, you can see the hands do not meet correctly. While I could use it like this, or with two females, I would have to put some work into making those two hands grasp each other correctly.
5. This final example set does not use the preset image to indicate who the pose is for. The name of the intended figure is in the preset name, and includes Victoria 8 and Michael 8, as well as the base G8F and G8M figures.
