I mean, why do they get along better with men, in comparison to the way straight women get along with men...
2007-10-12 09:15:00 · update #1
I've been asked this and have come up with all sorts of reasons, some of which may be wrong or right...who knows?
One of the reasons I thought was that perhaps, since we are attracted to women as well, it may be somewhat of a bridge to better understand the appeal that men have for women, therefore we are more comfortable around men, as there is a commonality in something that many people assume marks or differentiates the genders.
Also, because most bisexual women (in my experience) are quite open-minded, they can discuss sexuality (and other topics) without much influence or feelings of societal puritany taking over their ability to freely express themselves.

It's been my experience that bi-sexual women tend to enjoy some of the same hobbies or pursuits as men (no pun intended). Every bi-lady I've known enjoyed football, steak and potatoes, hiking and other forms of outdoor exercise and have been more self-confident. I think a "high maintenance" woman who doesn't enjoy sports, who gets jealous any time her guy isn't by her side due to insecurity, and who can't have an intelligent "manly" conversation about anything at all just has less in common with a man. But that doesn't mean a man should only look to bi-women for marriage partners. There aren't enough LOL. I happen to be straight, but I was a tomboy. I had lots of guy friends as a result. I also tend to think logically more often than emotionally. So, I have more in common with a guy than the average straight gal. It certainly makes it easier in the workforce, at parties (able to talk intelligently to a diverse group of people), and when spending time with my husband.

Bi women know what it's like to date women and how hard that can be. It's the same reason a lesbian that is on the "male" side gets along with men well. More of an understanding.
Tried the bi thing. Didn't work out.

I think there are no expectations from the man but I am not bi and I get along with men guess it depends on the personality of the woman in particular

Do they? Have you a source for this claim? I am not denying the possibility and certainly not dismissing your question out of hand, but I am curious as to whether there's been such a study and if so, what metric was used to quantify "getting along better with men".

Because they understand that men and women are different, unlike most straight women. They understand that, without these differences, men and women wouldn't want each other so the differences are necessary. Most straight women think that men should be more like them and the key is written above but if straight women still don't get it 'IF WE WERE MORE LIKE YOU WE WOULD NOT WANT YOU' ,and conversely, you would not want us.

Because they can sit around with the men and talk about how hot (or not) other women are. One of my friends does that with a guy she works with.

Probably because they think if they hang around with guys they can meet some hot chicks, and maybe take a few of the dudes along with them while they're at it.

Because they have more in common with men. They both like women.

Because bi-women and men can both pee standing up.
