I am a lesbian and I do not dislike bisexuals. In fact, I am friends with many bisexuals. I would never date one though because I would not be able to trust being with someone who is bisexual.

I am lesbian and I am not attracted to a woman once I find out she is bisexual, sorry, no offense, I just like women that are only into other women, but I don't look down on them, I am just not interested in them as a partner. I do have a few bisexual friends.

Some lesbians dislike bisexual women for the following reasons:
1. They believe that bisexuals are traitors and sleep with the enemy - doing nothing for the feminine cause.
2. They believe that a bisexual will cheat on you, for a member of the opposite sex.
3. They believe that bisexuals carry STDs.
4. They believe that bisexuals are confused and/or in denial.
5. They believe that bisexuals are merely trying to hang on to heterosexual priviledges.
None of the above speaks very well of bisexuality. The following counter-acts the above:
1. Why are men traitors?
2. A bisexual is no more or less likely to cheat on you than a heterosexual or homosexual. Its bad enough being cheated on, does the gender of the third person really make things any worse or better?
3. Bisexuals don't carry STDs, people do. STDs are passed by unsafe sex IRRESPECTIVE of who its with/by.
4. Some bisexuals do feel confused with their dual attractions as it doesn't fit into society's perceived norms. However, there are many who have come to terms with things.
5. Another misconception.

I dated women exclusively for 7 years..and I thought that was it for me, I was a lesbian. I found a great man after a long period of soul searching and got married. but anyway....When I was "gay" I had mixed feelings about bisexual girls. I dated some and got my heart broken when they went back to guys, because it made me feel less than good enough. I deemed them "confused". And eventually their existence just angered me. Especially to hear them call themselves lesbians...I was like, "no wonder guys get so turned on and try to get you in bed even after you say you are a lesbian...too many bi chicks are calling themselves that". Then there were some saying, "I get the best of both worlds". And it was at that point I quit being mad. I just laughed.With the best of both comes the worst of both...and they could totally keep it. It's all a matter of experiences and maturity. Many women will answer differently depending on their own personal lives or where they are in their lives/sexuality.

As a lesbian, personally I do not mess with bisexual women. I dont think that I look down on them, but I wouldnt date one. It's cool that they know they like both sexes, but to me that is a total turn off. I dont care how good looking or sexy she is.
Of course they are human beings and deserve respect like we do, but when a woman that is interested and I am interested in her tells me she is bisexual, i'm completely not interested anymore.
But thats just me, I'm sure other lesbians have a different opinions

ooooooooh hard question.... I'm a lesbian and I have been exclusive for 20 years... I wouldn't date another bi woman ever again... It was too painful for me.... Yes I have said they have the best of both worlds. The bi woman in my experience only, talking about me... Have done nothing but be hurtful to people they are dating... Kind of like " oh she made me mad, I will get back together with Dan" then when she acts right again she will dump Dan and get back with her.... Or they have just flirted and hooked up with everyone.... So I haven't had many positive stories of Bi people. I am learning more about how they feel on here though... I guess you can say it opened me up some...

My experience as a bisexual woman has been that it all depends on the person. Some lesbians are fine with me and some are not. You're going to get people of ALL sexual orientations looking down on you regardless of your sexual orientation, just like you will get some that don't care.

why does it matter?
bisexual women do not have sex w/ a woman and a man at the same time...that's not what it is about. and gay people should be the most supportive of any sexual orientation. bisexual people truly understand that love and your soul mate depends not upon a persons body, but upon his/her heart and soul.
lust is something separate. and what should it matter to you? a person is sexually attracted to more than one person (heteros are attracted to more than one of the opposite sex; do hetero guys hate every guy b/c the hetero girls are attracted to guys?--no)
i think if people who characterize themselves as lgb or t start "looking down" or disliking each other simply for being bisexual (or l or g or t), that is gross discrimination and perpetuating prejudice. that's a step backwards.

Some do, and it pisses me off to no end. We want to be accepted for who we are, and get pissed if a straight person tells us that we made a choice, but are so quick to turn around and place the same treatment on bisexuals.
I smell a bit of hypocrisy, here.
Then there's the fact that some people say "I couldn't trust a bisexual" why not? If a person is going to cheat on you, they're going to cheat on you-regardless if they're straight, gay or bi. The chances of cheating don't increase. If you trust your partner, that should be it, end of story.

I don't look down on them at all. To each his own. Just because I don't personally enjoy being with a man does not mean that a bi-sexual is unworthy of being treated as a human or with respect!
