Because some people want to know. It should be their choice if they want to be with someone who is bisexual. If you feel it's no big deal, then what's the big deal and letting people know what they are getting into?
What I wonder is how you really feel about bisexual men. Seems unclear.
No one has a "right" to know in the first place.
I had a boyfriend that was molested as a child. I didn't have a right to know but he did disclose during that time a dog was involved. So he has weird fantasies about a specific breed of dog. Why should I care?
It wasn't my business and he has no interest in messing around with dogs in real life anyhow. I was honored he felt safe to tell me, and because we had a solid loving foundation, it was fine. Well until he got into meth....
tricked? you are one messed up cookie.
You cannot be tricked about something that was none of your business in the first place.
You are not "owed" to know anything that intensely private about that person my dear.
Thinking a little higher of yourself than you ought to??
No. Just saying people have the right to choose if they want to be involved with someone who is bisexual.

I'm fine with them, but I can understand why some people would not want to date them. I respect people's choices, differences and rights to date who they want. If a straight person or gay person does not want to date a bisexual person that is their right and I respect that. To keep the fact from them is taking away the straight/gay person's right to date whom they want (someone with the same sexual orientation).
Prospective Partner, as in someone that is a potential partner, someone you're considering dating or becoming involved with. I never mentioned physical intimacy at all.
I think most of us....when we are planning on truly loving another person in a romantic way, assume physical intimacy is to be part of the relationship. And this discussion assumes so if we are talking about romantic feelings for the same gender.

Well until he got into meth.... high school is so much fun...
tricked? You were never tricked. You shouldn't get married then. You sound very divisive and unstable.

Some people feel tricked when something they feel is a big deal is held from them.
Okay. Then how about his.... you don't have to reveal that you are bisexual, but ask the person that you are interested in if they would want to date a person who is bisexual, if they say they would not be interested, you will have your answer without revealing yourself. Why waste your time with someone who does not want to be with you as a bisexual person? Why not get with someone who has no problem with it and that you don't have to hide it. It's a win/win for both.

Of course, but I wasn't talking about physical intimacy or focusing on it, like you claimed. Never mind referring to aerobic acts or treating people like rag dolls. I have no idea where you got that from the term "prospective partner".

My comment was sarcastic. I wouldn't want to date a with a documented history of being violent. If there was a thread asking whether people would date someone with such a history, I don't know if I'd even post, but if I did, I'd comment once or twice and be done with it. Your persistence in stating what you've stated a dozen times already seems like more than a simple preference to me.

That's you. Some people are different. I'm responding to posts that I disagree with and some of them are responding or commenting to me and I'm commenting back to them. I choose not to ignore them.
