Would you ever consider dating a bisexual person?

Sure, why not?

No way.

no thanks

Sure, my criteria for dating remains the same anyway; they are either capable of responsible safe committed behavior or they don’t date me (Bee doesn’t date much)

I bet my wife is bi-sexual. I don’t know that she’s acted on it (she says not) but I know the thought doesn’t repulse her. And her sister is openly gay, though she was once married. So, to answer your question, definitely.

Well, I am bisexual. I once dated a pansexual and there were no issues.

@Sooner_Coolkat and @Facade: Why wouldn’t you date a bisexual?

What’s the difference between “pansexual” and “bisexual?”

@KatawaGrey I wouldn’t like knowing he’s attracted to men. It kind of turns my stomach to think of it (“it” being my babe liking men).

I smell homophobia

Why not? If you like the other person, and they like you, something like this shouldn’t be held between you.

Now if they dump you for somebody of the opposite sex, that would suck…

@PupnTaco: I’m not entirely sure, but here’s the wiki.

@Facade: But why does it bother you? (I’m not trying to sound judgmental I am honestly curious).

@KatawaGrey i dunno. I don’t mind the sight of men kissing, holding hands, etc., but the sex is gross to me. no, i am not homophobic.

It would be a bigger dating pool. :)

@Facade: I understand what you mean, but one thing I understand is that because two men can’t have sex the way that a man and woman do, it’s not gross, just different. Does that make sense?

His orientation wouldn’t be as important as his attitude towards it.

For instance, I’ve run into a lot of “bi-married” men—married, looking for a man on the side. That doesn’t work for me at all, even if his wife knows.

Or a bisexual man who thinks he needs to have sex with women regularly—that’s not something I’m comfortable with.

I am one.

@KatawaGrey I suppose. It’s not the anal part, it’s the two men part.

If they were as into me as I was into them, sure! I don’t see why their past or mine should play a part in the current, mutual attraction.

I am dating a bisexual person.

@Facade

I think the idea of two men having sex is hot.

And to the question, yes, I would consider it. I don’t think that just because they are bisexual, they can’t be with someone of one gender.

@Dansedescygnes of course you do. whatever floats your boat.

@PupnTaco—“Bisexual” sticks to society’s stupid binary gender rules. It excludes, for example, transgender, genderqueer, and intersex people.

@MacBean what is genderqueer and intersex?

@Facade

“Genderqueer” is a term referring to a gender identity other than male or female. It is a mental thing and transcends genitalia.

“Intersex” is a biological instance of having both genitalia, neither genitalia, or secondary sex characteristics that are neither exclusively male or female.

@Dansedescygnes wow ok…intersex I understand, but genderqueer is hard to grasp. hmm…

@Facade

Well, genderqueer people are still biologically male or female, as dictated by genitalia and sex characteristics. But they themselves may not feel masculine or feminine in the mind and don’t wish to associate with those genders. It’s the difference between “sex” and “gender”. “Sex” is biological, physical, scientific. “Gender” is more of a mental and societal thing. Most people’s sex matches the gender. But that doesn’t happen with everyone and some people just plain don’t want it.

@Dansedescygnes ohhh, I get. You’re so knowledgeable :)

@Facade—@Dansedescygnes nailed it. For example, I am biologically female. I DO NOT identify that way, though. It’s all wrong. But I don’t exactly identify as male, either. I’m a little more comfortable with that, but… I don’t really feel like I’m either gender. And “transgender” doesn’t feel like it fits me, either, because the word implies a definite change from one to the other. I don’t fit into the binary gender model, so I identify as “genderqueer.”

@MacBean hm. I’ve never heard of these terms. It’s very interesting.

I had a crush on a bi girl for a while. Sure I’d date someone who identified themselves as bisexual if I was into her.

I dated a bi guy for a while as a teenager. Never had a problem with it.

Yes, as long as they know being bi doesn’t give them permission to have sex with someone else. I guess those rules apply to any relationship.

@macbean: like an amoeba?

!
Aside from the shape-shifting,asexual splitting,and crawling part?

@Amoebic: That’s the hot stuff right there.

Right.

I hope! :)

@MacBean: seriously though, thank you for educating me. I’d never heard of gender-neutral.
