First of all, I do not mean to stereotype, because I hate to be stereotyped. But are there any bisexual women that love women as equally as they love men or more, and feel like they can settle down and marry(although not legally) with a woman and raise a family? Or will they always end up settling down with a man because they can marry him legally, have children with, look better in society with,life is easier with or just because they generally like men more? And for those who can settle down with a woman, are they really lesbians? Or will they marry a woman and end up desiring a man or feeling incomplete?

I'm bisexual and I am more attracted to women than men on all levels. I could easily settle down with a woman and I'm currently in a serious relationship with a woman. I don't go for something because it's easy, I do what makes me happy. If I find a guy who makes me happy then I may marry him, but right now I'm happy with a woman and society can look down on it all they want, I'm not going to change my happiness. I won't consider myself lesbian because I am attracted to men, just to a lesser degree. Marrying a woman as opposed to a man will have about the same effect on me as marrying someone with brown eyes instead of green eyes.

I am a bisexual woman and I have lived with 2 women and married 2 men. When I was with my husbands I thought about women all the time and actually left one husband for a woman. When I was with women, I did not want a man. The relationships ended for different reasons, mostly financial. I dream of someday settling down with a good woman.

It's about love. I don't understand why people concentrate so much on gender. Most bi people don't wake up in the morning and say "hmm...I think I'll date a girl today" or at the end of the relationship with a man switch back to a woman.
Even if you never date someone of the same gender, if you find you are attracted to them, you are forever apart of that sexuality. Even if you never have sex, you know what you are attracted to. You can choose your actions, but you cannot choose your feelings.
I personally am bi, and I am married to a man. I did not plan on marrying one gender or the other. I considered it a fifty-fifty chance.
Anyway, you asked a very nice question. Don't worry about stereotyping, you did the right thing by asking instead of just assuming.

Yes, just like anybody can settle down with only one person that they love, girl or guy.
From HRC (Human Rights Campaign) site:
Myth: Bisexual people just can’t make up their minds.
Reality: Bisexual people are often very comfortable and settled with themselves and their sexuality.
Myth: Bisexual people have multiple partners and/or can’t have monogamous relationships.
Reality: Although some stereotypes assert that bisexual people can’t commit to relationships with one person because they’re always attracted to people of the other gender, bisexual people are no more or less likely to have multiple sexual partners than gay, lesbian and straight people.

Well, heck. Went to cut and paste an added comment and I lost the text. Anyway, Water Godess says it well. For myself, I might be called bi by some, but I doubt that I'd ever feel whole with a man. I certainly wouldn't leave a woman for one. It's a paranoid stereotype. If it has any credence at all, it's gotta be due to confusing bi-curious with bi, or copping an excuse to avoid owning other more significant problems in the relationship. That's my 2 cents at least.

may be. yet my spouse and that i are both bi and we've surpassed the ten-year mark and function no objective of searching for actually all of us else. a lot less complicated isn't unavoidably more effective constructive. the great thing about being bisexual is that you'll seem for the great important different, not the great individual of the alternative sex. do not worry too a lot about his orientation. A gay important different ought to nevertheless go away you for another guy. We bi persons are literally not all alike. you do not SEE the bisexuals who're in same-sex relationships because we seem lesbian or gay.

Bisexual women often do settle down with women. It just varies from woman to woman.

I actually prefer women more, but when I met my boyfriend, he was just it. He is pretty much the only guy I'd consider being with, he's just got all the qualities I'd want in someone. Chances are, I'm probably going to settle down with him. Had I met a woman before him, well...who knows?

I think most bisexuals prefer one sex to the other. For me, I much prefer men, but I love women too. However, when it comes down to it, I would marry a man, not because of having children or because it's legal, but because I just prefer men. However, I would continue to see women too.....with my husband's knowledge of course!

Honestly I dont know what goes on in a bisexual's mind. Personally I stay far away. Bisexual women are the quickest way to get burned. Sorry I couldn't answer your question.
