Would any girls have a problem if there man was a bi sexual. I mean as long as he was up front about it and there was no sneaking around or anything like that. Just kind of curious about this.
I have met plenty of gay guys. I have met plenty of lesbians. I have met plenty of bisexual women. But I have never, to my knowledge, met a bisexual man. Given the fact I live in a large city, I think that is impossible. I have probably met some bisexual men. I just didn't know it, because more than anyone else in the LGBT community, bisexual men tend to be closeted.
And that is really the problem. No one accepted gay people are normal until they began coming out in large numbers. It didn't happen overnight, but it happened. Until bisexual men start coming out in large numbers, they are never going to debunk the prejudices that surround them and make women reluctant to date them.
I think 100% straight people are rare, for any gender, so if a guy says he is 100% straight I am skeptical -- I wonder if it is true, or if he is lying, or if he is sexually repressed.

WOW. Really? How did you arrive at that conclusion Nila?
Even the Kinsey Institute says 50% of people fall in the exclusively straight category, while more current research indicates a much higher number.
Yeah, I would, but I'm not sure it would work out. Its bad enough when the guy you're with is checking out other women, imagine if you have to worry about him checking out the men too?
Well, I am not sure the American Family Institute is going to accurately report scientific research .
But even their site, which you linked to, says that Kinsey found that in the extremely sexually repressed society of the US 1950s, when being gay was often illegal and could get you thrown into a prison or mental hospital, 37% of men were willing to say on record that they 'had some kind of homosexual experience after adolescence'. One can only imagine how high the actual number was.
My experience in the past 40+ years is that I have met few men who, if we became close enough friends to discuss such things, don't have some sexual experience with other men.
Update:
Wikipedia says that Kinsey's research in the 1950s found that, 'nearly 46% of the male subjects [were willing to say on record that they] had "reacted" sexually to persons of both sexes in the course of their adult lives'.
So, if that's who was willing to say it, we know that they real number is somewhere between 46% and 100%.

I've been open to dating bi men, but I'm naturally wary of them. The ones I've had contact me on dating sites were kind of snotty about it. Basically, all of them have said in some form or other, "I love the person, not the equipment."
Well, that's fine, but the implication that I'm superficial because other women's vaginas aren't my thing is kind of some pompous BS. When I meet a bi guy who doesn't trot out that line or some variation of it early on in the conversation (I'm meeting men on a dating site, so it tends to come up early on), he might have a chance.

Bisexual guys are out in larger numbers than you might think and have been for quite some time. Unless you go around saying "I'm bisexual" constantly there's not going to be any obvious indicator. I guarantee you've definitely met a few out bi guys. You just assumed they were something else.
If he's committed to me, I don't care. I'm about a two on the Kinsey scale, as is the man I am seeing.
