I noticed most bisexual people only go out with someone who is straight or gay. I just wonder why most bi people , particularly guys (they tend to only seek relationships with girls but sleep with men), don't get in relationships with each other. I think bisexual people need to be more visible. Sounds crazy ,I know

More visible?

I figure a good chunk of bi-sexual people more or less prefer the opposite sex, and like to dabble in the other from time to time.

It doesn't sound crazy. It sounds nosy. It's none of your, or anyone else's business what someone's sexual orientation is. So, no. They do not need to be "more visible".

How do you suggest they go about being 'more visible'?

Coming out of the closet. I am not saying they have to wave a flag but they should be honest about their orientation when asked.

You are right. Its none of my business. No need to be rude or snippy in your reply.

Why assume that two guys or two women you see together are both gay? One or both could easily be bi, but they're not telling you.

Also, there are gay people who will not date bi people, and so it is easier for the bi person to find opposite sex dates. There is still a lot of prejudice against the bisexual population, i.e. "they need to choose" "they just can't make up their minds," or my personal favorite, "they're just sluts who fill screw anything that moves."

I think most people, seeing two women together, simply assume they're lesbians and don't even ask. Assuming it's an appropriate question to ask in the first place (most of the time people should mind their own business), you really think they will lie? Enough to admonish bisexuals at large for not being visible enough for you?

I rarely use this one but it fits:

I've known multiples of both situations, but more frequently to bi girls.

But another person's orientation isn't your business, unless they choose to make it your business.

Most of the young women I know in same-sex relationships have also been in relationships with men.

An alternative is to stop obsessing about the need to label every damn thing.
