Can't figure out couple poses

I thought I had it figured out by saving both poses in one and deleting one rig to save the other, but when I delete one it goes into the base pose and stays in the center. Is that normal or is it supposed to disappear? I've tried deleting all the keyframes by pressing "A" to select all and then "X" to delete, but the sims still end up standing in the same place. I also figured out how to move the root point so they wouldn't be on top of each other but something weird happened; it seems like the male rigs are the only ones doing it.. When I made a couple pose with two female rigs it worked fine. Is anyone else having trouble with the male rigs or am I doing something wrong? I hope this made sense, thanks.
