Well, no shit man. You could be attracted to anyone if their gender happens to be what you find attractive. Ah, now you're asking if the potential rewards still outweighs the risks... seeing as how the risk of cheating shot up by roughly 100%. The answer is still a resolute "no" because I'm not even taking that risk for a person who could potentially find only half of the population to be more attractive than me.

But wait, I bet you're trying to get a "normal" perspective here. Well, if I were actually interested in any kind of romantic endeavor, I'm sure I would have some weird ideas. So, let me play the Imagination Song I have recorded and go into the world of fantasy:

Well, seeing as how the risk of cheating has shot through the roof, I guess I'd need more potential "reward". I would have to be more attracted to you just for BEING bisexual. I don't know, maybe I really liked cross-dressing or something and you'd totally be on board with that. I'm not though, in either case, so what else could change by you revealing that your bisexual? Nothing, really, you'd just have to survive on your original relationship potential. As for if I'd feel less attracted... no... why would I? It's not like there's a single person out there you hasn't blushed while thinking of someone of the opposite gender of what they normally find attractive.

While I wouldn't dump you outright for liking female bits, I would get more suspicious of your female friends and might become too insufferable, thus ruining MY relationship potential and you would end up dumping me.

And then we'd be back in the real world again, so let's head back now.

Deedlydoo...

So there you have it, you as a "potential reward" would've already had to have far outweighed the initial risk to be able to survive more risk.

I dated a bisexual girl once. 'Nuff said.
Okay, so she said that she was pansexual, but trust me, she wasn't. She just liked the label. She doesn't even call herself pansexual anymore.
The last girl I dated was actually bisexual. I wasn't really wild about it, to be honest, but I guess I was accepting enough to date her. Anyways, I broke up with her in the end. But as for the question, I guess it's a 'yes' by default.

Ugh, yesterday I was talking to a self-proclaimed "pansexual" girl, and she drove me absolutely mad. When I tried to explain to her that it was an arbitrary term, she just went off on a rant. Then she asked me what my birthsign was, and decalred that she doesn't associate with Libras.

I would have no problem shacking up with a chick who was bisexual. Noooo problem at all.

Not sure why anyone would. Maybe if they had a head full of God and sin or something I guess.
You make it sound almost like you'd prefer them to be bisexual ;D

OT: My first girlfriend was bisexual. The only issue I have with it is if they have the immature mentality that messing around with someone of the same sex is somehow considered "not cheating".

Yeah... fuck that *****.

On the whole cheating bit, I think it's a very individual thing. It doesn't matter if you're gay, straight or bi, if you already could think of cheating. All the bisexual tag does is giving you a wider assortment.

I'm fairly bisexual myself, but I still value my loyalty to a person I love very highly. It's not really a question of morals, it's a question of avoiding short-term pleasure from a second relationship with very bad long-term consequences (proper friend gets hurt, sad and angry, proper relationship goes sour and suspicious). Valuing the possibility of getting something extra on the side over not hurting someone you love is an individual calculation that sexual preference usually aren't very involved in.

I don't think bisexuality increase the risk of cheating. It only increases the list of possible "other men/women". It might seem like it does, but it has more to do with the individual's short-term/long-term gain and loss calculations. Some people are more likely to treat you poorly than others, but sexual preference isn't really the deciding factor.

Well, again, it's individual. I can't remember being present when the "Great Bi Cheating/Not Cheating Charter" was being signed. :3

The moral of this thread seems to be: only date ugly unpleasant people, so that they can't cheat on you as easily. Because the cause of cheating has clearly got more to do with statistical odds than it does with personality problems or relationship issues.

OT: Yes, I could be attracted to a bisexual. Like others in this thread, I am one.

I think males are more likely to respond positively on this because of the "two girls are hot" mentality. I don't believe girls think that way (i.e. "two guys would be hot")

Yes, but I'm a guy,

That's how I remember the general opinion to be as well, and I'm afraid that for all my tolerance, I'm not much different.
The question that the OP put to us was if we would date a bisexual, NOT if we'd be ok with said bisexual cheating on us with a member of their own gender (if we're straight) or opposite (if we're gay).

I, a straight female, think guy-on-guy action is pretty darn hot, but that doesn't mean I'd be ok with my fella cheating on me with another guy. If we had an open relationship that would be different but I doubt I could have one of those.
The OP is wondering if anyone might be apposed to being attracted to bisexuals. There is no physical deference between someone who is bisexual or strait/gay, so the only reason someone would have a problem would have to do with emotional insecurities, and the only insecurities I could see someone having are the ones I mentioned.

As most people have responded, it doesn't bother them. I was trying to imagine why it would bother someone assuming it did.

Of course I could. If I were looking for a monogamous relationship, I'd want them to only be with me, but that would be true regardless of their orientation.

I suppose the question is pretty self-explanatory but I guess I can expand a bit.

Would you get in a relationship with someone you knew to be bisexual? Or if you were in a relationship with someone and they told you they were bisexual how would you react?

So, could you be romantically attracted to someone who's bisexual? Do you find it to be an attractive trait, or an unattractive one, or maybe neutral?

I'm curious because I'm a bisexual guy and I was wondering what other people might think of that so I thought I would see what everybody here thought.
Hi, you must be new here. Everybody here is aggressively liberal towards that stuff.
lol well in short: welcome to the Internet. where the youth reign.

What? Nope. So long as they're attracted to me. My ex-girlfriend was bisexual, it really had no impact whatsoever on our relationship, except that we could both appreciate a really good pair of tits.

Wouldn't be an issue to me at all.

Can't say much more than that really.

It's a total non-issue. It's like asking me if I could be attracted to someone wearing a hat, or someone who really liked spaghetti.
Yeah, but what if they really liked spaghetti? If ya know what I'm sayin'

Who the fuck could be attracted to one of those crazy spaghetti lovers? Shit's crazy son.
Indeed! It's a known fact that spaghetti lovers are much more statistically likely to be bolsheviks, just for a start!

No, ladies and mentlegen of a refined moral character prefer fusilli.

I think I have to say yes considering I'm dating a bisexual girl... and we're dating a bisexual girl... Hey shut up don't judge me! I live as few men dare to dream! ...Then again I live in Humboldt where almost every 1/3 girls are bisexual. Or at least bi-curious. The coast is weird. You think our people are odd wait till you see our weather xD
