Could you date/marry someone who is bisexual?

Certainly, but that wasn’t my point. 9 times out of 10 the winner of a fight is the person who weighs more. 10 times out of 10 a man weighs more than a woman. 1 time out of 2, woman A weighs more than woman B.

It’s not like bisexuals have to dip their feet in both pools to have their needs satisfied. All bisexual means is that the pool of people a person is attracted to is larger than the pool of people a hetero- or homosexual is. It has no bearing on whether the person’s a monogamist, polygamist, or just a slut.

(bolding mine) What? No.

Uh . . . just because they stop having sex with other people, doesn’t mean they stop being bisexual.

Nah - just because someone is attracted to both genders doesn’t mean they need both genders in order to be fulfilled, it just means that either can fulfill them. (You know, in the sense that relationships make you fulfilled at all). After all, if you’re attracted to both blondes and redheads, does that mean you’ll never be happy unless you have both?

I hear ya. I stand corrected. :slight_smile:

My wife is in my weight class and could probably kick you ass from here to the beltway, given she knows Judo.

One of my co-workers weights 155, but she can deadlift something like 250 and do approximately 30 pullups. She could kick MY ass from here to the beltway, let alone yours.

One of my college ex-girlfriends was a tang soo do black belt (or close to), 6’4", and well over 200 lbs. She could likely kick both our asses put together and look absolutely stellar doing it.

26, bi female here, and I would have no problem with dating a bisexual man or woman. It doesn’t matter to me at all, as long as we have established our relationship ground rules and everyone plays by those rules.

There’s a lot of bisexual prejudice in the queer circles I’ve known. The stereotypes I’ve personally encountered is that bi girls are just kissing other girls for the “male gaze” and will end up with a man permanently, so they’re not truly gay, and bi men are just not fully out of the closet and they’ll end up identifying as gay eventually, given time. I once made a lesbian joke and one of my gay friends told me off about not being able to joke about dykes, and it really made me angry because she clearly felt I wasn’t allowed to joke about lesbians because I was a fake gay or something.

It’s frustrating for those of us who identify as bi and are truly into both sexes. I guess I would qualify as “pansexual,” though this is the first time I’ve encountered the term. My first long term relationship was with a FTM trans boy and after we broke up I had a few flings/crushes on a few girls and some dates with a few boys but nothing much came of any of those short term relationships. Then I met my husband, and that was the end of my dating life.

Bisexual is not the same as polyamorous. I am definitely into monogamy and I wouldn’t be comfortable otherwise.

Woah, there are more bisexuals on the dope than I thought!

As for me, no, I am not gay, straight or lying… harumphs

29, bisexual, Female

Yes, actually, I prefer being with other bi people…

Considering I am in a polyamourous relationship, this is good!. :smiley:

Vaguely surprised to not see this take posted about yet…

I am jealous of bi-sexual people. Hilarious, I know; I just think it is awesome to have a wider range of attraction.

I consider my definition of attraction to be broad as it is, but being gay means I am still limited to one sex.

I wouldn’t mind dating a bi-sexual, as such, but I would probably joke often on how jealous I am of them.

Sigh

Aw. I’ve actually never heard anyone express this sentiment, even though I find bisexuality to be quite advantageous. I think it saved me from being insecure about women’s sexual attractiveness to guys because somehow, my attraction to women is much more easily physically defined, whereas if you asked me what exactly I find sexually attractive about guys, for the most part, I wouldn’t be able to say. So if I only had that to go on, I wouldn’t really understand exactly what guys find attractive in girls and wouldn’t know how I measured up. Instead, I completely understand where they’re coming from.

(female; 25; bisexual, in case that wasn’t clear)

All this is greatly depending on one factor you’ve yet to account for:

How far are you from the beltway?

27/female here.

No, I would not date a bisexual man. No good reason really, I would just feel weird about it.

I agree. I’m very happy with my partner and being gay, but I’ve occasionally expressed envy of all his multi-sexual experiences.

I don’t know. In theory I say I don’t care, but I did find myself weeding bi-sexual women out of the running when I was looking at the online web sites. However, I suspect in the end if I knew the woman and enjoyed her company, I doubt it would make a difference.

52, straight male, though if I were a woman am 100% sure I’d be a lesbian, thus really making me a male-lesbian. So heck yeah! In fact, I’ve almost exclusively dated bi-sexual ladies for the past…oh, who’s counting anyway? :wink:
