Question

If you're all-gay or all-straight, would you date a bi person? Why or why not? Or have you already?

If you're all-gay or all-straight, would you date a bi person? Why or why not? Or have you already?

NOTE: I am female and married to an all-the-way-gay woman. But some people act like she's just setting herself up for a heartbreak by being with me, and have from the beginning.

Answer 1

My friend is bisexual and she has dated lesbians and straight guys and other bi girls. I would date a bisexual. Why not?

Sorry you have had people say that about you, it's one of those bisexual myths. In time those will fade with more education about bisexuals and more bi people being out. My bi friend has never cheated either and I know she never would. It's ignorance about the cheating junk, anyone can cheat, it's the person's choice.

Answer 2

As a lesbian I do not personally date bi women because I would like to be with a woman who is a lesbian like me. I know that there are many true bi women who date exclusively and will be happy eventually with one or the other but unfortunately with gay and bi being a trend like wedge heels there are too many women giving true bi women a bad name. I don't really trust anyone who says they are bi because 99% of them are confused or just playing and I would not put my heart on the line so someone can have a cool story to tell their friends.

Answer 3

Why do people all think that all bisexuals cheat?? Straight/gays/lesibans and bisexuals are all capable of cheating. And there is the same equal percentage of each sexuality cheating.I'm sick and tired of being labelled like this beacuse of my sexuality. I am an honest person and I have NEVER cheated on my partner, and I have had both men and women partners. If I'm going out someone, then I am with them and them alone. Just becuase I'm bisexual doesnt mean I am going to shag the next member of the opposite sex that comes along.

Answer 4

Being bisexual I would actually prefer another bisexual because I would know what I was getting that way. I don't trust gay men. I am sorry the ones I have known are too interested in sex and I have yet to see a gay couple where the parties are both completely trust worthy. I mean they may say they have an exclusive committed relationship but usually one of them is out partying somewhere how else do I know so many couples where one of them thinks they are in a committed relationship. Other problems with gay men are that they are rarely what they present themselves to be. Most will say they are only interested in what you are until they get you into bed then they want to try to pursued you to do what they really like to do. As though sucking on my penis will make me let you into my rectum.
Any way I know you asked gay men and not bisexuals but with most bisexuals you know you are getting someone who can swing both ways and you know what questions to ask. Most are very honest because most are very picky about who they want to be with.

Answer 5

Just personal preference for me, as a lesbian, I want to be with a woman who identifies as lesbian, not bisexual. and that's nothing personal against anyone bi. I have an ex who was (still is) married to a man. however, she doesn't enjoy sex with him and they haven't for years. I think they are only still married because she is such a closet case and so ashamed of who she is, that she can't bear for anyone to find out she's gay. She even claims she's not. And I couldn't deal with someone who lives a lie like that. my current partner WAS married to a man before (who, as it turns out, is also gay). She dealt with years of personal confusion before she finally realized and "came out" as lesbian. she is totally out and honest about herself.
I don't know...maybe it's just my paranoia with my own relationships...even the "ex" won't claim to be bi or lesbian. Maybe I just have that same fear that I would be left for someone of the opposite sex. But I know that's just as likely as if I was in a straight relationship of being left for someone else as well. the gays/lesbians that I know I think all feel the same way. And I guess if I personally knew more people who identified as bi I would have a better understanding.

Answer 6

Unfortunately, there is a major misconception that a bisexual will ditch you for a member of the opposite sex to yourself. In reality, this is no more or less likely than a homosexual running off with another person of the same gender, or a heterosexual running off with another opposite sex partner. Being unfaithful is to do with the individual - not the orientation.

When confronted with the misconception on a potential date, the bisexual could say "well, I've dated men and women, but out of everyone - I chose to be with you,"

Answer 7

I would not date a bi person...b/c..If your gay/lesbian fine, if your straight, then fine! BUT If you bi- you just set yourself up for disapointment, not to say STD's b/c being with both sexes, you never know if all parties are being truthful. This could be just as true for straight peeps.

Answer 8

I would. I don't see what's the big deal. If you guys are interested in each other and are willing to go and dates and such, then yea go right ahead. If you hit bumps along the way and it doesn't work out, then that's that. It's like dating any other person.

But i have to say your sex life, if you're up for it, will definitely get spiced up with increased participation.

Answer 9

properly i myself am bisexual, so sure i might date yet another bisexual individual. whether i do problem that many women folk who're lesbian are not as prone thus far a bi woman by way of fact they think of they gets left at the back of for a guy. i think in monogamy, i'm an exceedingly courting based individual, in my opinion i wouldnt innovations what decision they had, as long as we've a connection and are drawn to one yet another it does not section me.

Answer 10

Friendly date is ok but no to a romantic date.I'd prefer a "straight" female than a bi like me though i still dont have a date experience with one yet.It feels awkard you know.
