Right. That’s pretty much what I was driving at. You just stated it about ten times clearer than I did.
Well, yes. But by eliminating the gender criteria (assuming the other criteria are roughly the same for the hetero and the bi) you have just increased your pool of candidates. That doesn’t necessarily mean that all bis have the same tastes or that they will all just jump in the sack with whoever.
Gary T - you are right. I didn’t think of that. But the end effect that a bi person will have a larger pool of options than either a pure hetero or a pure homo, assuming that all other criteria are about the same.
So a wanton hetero with no standards will get laid more often than a choosy bisexual who is looking for a continuous relationship. And of course, a wanton hetero with no standards will probably get laid pretty much as often as a bi with no standards. So it all depends on the real life situation, but in theory…
Anyway, I have no point. And I’m babbling. As usual.
There is also the fact that some people, knowing a person is bisexual as opposed to straight or gay, wish to sever whatever relationship there is with that person. And if one is not into having casual sex, this cuts down dramatically on partner options.
Then there are some of us who have some self-esteem issues and depression, not quite completely masked by the “happy face” and alcohol, which seems to be off-putting and sends you home alone.
Regarding losing your respect by virtue of sluttiness: la-te-dah.
So, you rely on a sterotype of the perception of gay men? Lovely. Maybe you need to deal more with gay men and not fall back on an unsubstantiated myth.
Not that there’s anything wrong with being a slut. Being an ethical slut can be one of the great joys of life. YAY SLUTS!
