Uh, you can't see why that is a problem?

I also don't think being bi means gay. I did once, but not anymore.

I'm just coming to terms with it. Besides, its not fair to have sex with men and women at the same time. Thats dangerous.

IMO....

Thank you for sharing hun. FWIW, I think it's harder for bisexual men to be visible. It is a challenge thoogh and there are many problems. Usually, I keep my bisexuality a secret if I'm dating a girl.

Its a true sector, IMO. Its no joke. I do actually think having ADHD can be a cause of this, IMO. I doubt anyone has done research on that....

I don't think so. I just don't care about someone's gender, though I have my types and preferences and I tend to fluctuate between attraction to males or females. I hate the flux aspect, but to me it's no different to liking both blondes and brunettes.

I'm bi and one of the annoying misconceptions is the notion that it doubles your chance of getting a date. First off, even many gay guys are leery of bi guys. I've had a boyfriend in the past, and I would assume that would be a big turn-off to girls who may have otherwise potentially been interested in me. I'm struggling with that idea, really, especially since I was pondering putting in a serious effort to find a girlfriend.

I'm really not terribly interested in casual sex, either. So there's another frequent lie. I just want a long-term, loving relationship. Whether that develops with a guy or girl... I could be happy either way.

I'd imagine that if you wanted to date a gay man, you'd almost be better off hiding your bisexuality. It sucks, but it is what is. If I were single and wanted to date a woman, I'd say I was a lesbian.

How is it any different than a woman being worried that her hetero boyfriend might start sleeping with another woman? Insecure people will be insecure, regardless of sexual orientation.

You clearly know almost nobody and have never ever been to a party then. My girlfriend and I know TONS of girls like this! Heck, tons of girls I have known even admit to kissing girls for attention and would never do it in private just because guys love to see that. You need to get out more!

PS: who cares if your girlfriend does stuff with other girls? I don't care about that! That's not cheating if she's a girl. Wouldn't bother me at all.

I do get out quite a bit, but then again I don't have many straight friends, so perhaps I'm not the best person to comment.

My partner is male anyway but we have discussed an open relationship in which I can date a girl.

Huh? That is effectively saying lesbian sex isn't "real sex".
