I wouldn't mind, maybe i'd change their mind.

I know all of the dating sites don't ask for sexual orientation though. Either way, if a woman doesn't want to date a bisexual man, it won't matter at what point he tells her, he'll still be rejected. He might get more responses/dates by not telling them upfront, but it'll be over once he eventually tells them the truth if they feel really strongly about it. So should he just never tell them?


It has nothing to do with being "bigoted." I don't understand why you would be shocked that a straight woman would want a straight man.
Being bi is not the same as being gay.

Being bisexual has nothing to do with wheather or not I can be monogamous. I'm naturally polyamorous but I wouldn't be against a monogamous relationship necessarily. I'm not going to put up with a crappy relationship just have one partner, though. I do NOT need both a man and a woman to feel satisfied necessarily, that's a crude stereotype of bisexuals. However, if I were with a woman I'd love her to be sexually open-minded.

I may list myself as straight, judging by the responses.
Several times I've closeted myself just so I could avoid having it be an issue with women. I don't regard it as immoral especially as my attractions are mostly to women and most people don't understand bisexuality.

I'm also a crossdresser and genderfluid. But I do not list this in my profile as I feel most people wouldn't understand it. I'm just shocked so many people are bigoted against bisexuality.

hi. yea long time no see.

I didn't say anything about you being able to be monogamous or not. I don't consider it 'bigoted' against bisexuality, it's not everyone's cup of tea. I wouldn't be offering that up on a profile though because there's no need to. If I read where some man said he was 'polyamrous' I'd pass over that profile as well, LOL, just saying some of the things you're admitting on there are probably making some women not respond. You shouldn't list yourself as straight if you're not straight, because that's a lie. Just don't respond at all in that section.

I know. I think you were pretty straightforward about it in your profile when you specifically stated that you were only looking to communicate with men and women who don't have a problem with you being bi-curious. If that's important to you, you should leave it in there. If you lead someone to think you're straight, you might end up getting all excited about that person only to be let down later on when she finds out that you're bi. It's wishful thinking to hope that someone is going to be ok with finding out about it later if they would not have been ok with it initially.

It's also not "straight". I am bi, but identify as gay. If the date looks to turn into "dating", I find a way to work the bi thing into a conversation. (Yes, I am monogamous) Plenty of guys have told me that's a deal breaker. You can't change it, so just work with it.

What is going on? I thought of starting a seperate profile on a different site that listed me as straight (since I mostly am attracted to women), but I'm not sure this is the only issue.
In general yes, dating sites are virtually useless to find decent women who are not fat, saddened with baggage, or nuts.

Don't worry about the disability too much and don't disclose it. I don't have a hand and still do ok on them.

very much like writing your name and number on a toilet stall, it attracts a certain type of clientele with the same type of ethics.
