Bisexuals: accused of choosing to be gay?

[Auburn]

Some people's ignorant attitudes toward bisexuality piss me off. If you are bi and choose to date someone of the SAME sex, then why do you get labeled as "choosing" to be gay? Is this why most bisexuals choose not to act on their attraction to the same sex?That doesn't make sense, but i hear it all the time. No matter who you date, you are still bi. Isn't it true that even though someone is bi that it is possible that they can only be happy in a relationship with the same sex? ( i know they are attracted to both, but maybe they only feel enough of an attraction to the same sex) I always see bi guys that choose date other guys (most of the time) and very rarely date girls, but still label themselves bi. Then people accuse them of choosing to be gay because they like girls (but not emotionally, just sexually) and they are emotionally attracted to guys. I don't understand why people cannot just be who they are.

On a side note....how many bi guys in here date mostly guys, and not very many women or no women at all?

It's probably from ignorance. Analysing it any further is useless.

You must be bored and looking to start an argument. This topic has been done to death.

Nothing about my post should indicate that i was starting an argument. You should get over yourself.....you probably knew what was coming when you saw the title and opened up the thread

My goodness!

To all:

Please keep the conversation limited to the INtrospective1's topic, and please do not derail it with snide or pissy side comments, and please don't fuel (by replying to them) snide and catty comments. I'm just asking you guys to keep it a civilized conversation! This thread has managed to degenerate with just a few posts! If you feel that a reply in the thread needs action, use the report post icon.
Thanks!

Zeremonie, with all due respect, you've been around long enough to know why I said what I said. I'm sort of tired of the bi bashing that happens on this site. And quite frankly it bothers me that the mods let it go on for post after post, yet a few negative comments about this thread get scolded immediately.

And INtrospective1, I really don't need to get over myself. If you had done a thread search you would know that this topic has been argued over and over again and no one ever wins. It only leads to bad feelings. That is why I thought you might be deliberately starting an argument. Oh, and I never said that deliberately starting an argument would be a bad thing, did I?

Doesn't matter to me. My Bf is bi but he's with me and we both believe in mongomy. Peried, end of sentence.

Actually, i was defending bisexuals. I think they should date who ever the fuck they want, but alot of them feel pressured into dating only women. I didn't ask my questions in an argumentative manner. IF you go back and read my original post, you will read that i think people should just be allowed to be who they are (meaning they should do whatever they want, as long as they are doing harm to anyone else--especially from a physical standpoint)

This doesn't mean that you're going to stop creating all those threads where you ask what other people think about various bisexual issues, does it?

I never said you weren't.

I didn't ask my questions in an argumentative manner.

I never said you did. I simply wondered if you were being provocative.

So do I. Are you new here? Perhaps you haven't read some of the previous posts on this topic. If you do, you might understand my initial response.

Why can't this thread ever stay on track? Unfortunately, the bickering is driving others away when it could potentially be an interesting and significant discussion otherwise. Actually I'm interested in the subject matter while others are clearly not.

Well, it seems to have driven away the bi-bashers and for that we should all be thankful. Usually they'd have infiltrated by now.

You're so funny Qixote I don't care what people think of me regarding my personal situation. It's my life and i live it my way. I said what i think after reading introspective post. So don't worry Qixote, i will continue ask people everything about vasrious bisexual issues.

People accuse bisexuals of choosing to be gay because they like girls (but not emotionally, just sexually) and they are emotionally attracted to guys.

I'm the opposite. I like guys sexually and i like girls sexually and emotionally. What does that make me? Bisexuality is a big grey aera with all kind of possibilities. The only thing that is for sure is the sexual attraction to both gender.

All I know is that I don't want anything to do with "bisexual" men and alot of people agree with me. Some of them are confused as to what they really want, and frankly I don't have time for bullshit. I don't dispute that bisexuality exists but my experience is that being bi is a stop on the way to gaytown. These men often want a st8 lifestyle with house and kids because society accepts this image. However they want to have their cake and eat it too. By no means are my opinoins meant to insult anyone, as someone mentioned above sexuality can be a very grey area for some people and black and white for others.

Boo-Boo, if they were "on the way to gaytown" they weren't bisexual. They were on vacation in Egypt "in denial".
