To be quite frank literally EVERY woman I have dated has either been bisexual or pansexual. No friggin' joke every single one

I am only romantically interested in partners who are also bisexual.

I mean, I'll have sex with people who are just straight or just gay, but not long term. For a relationship, I want someone who I can relate to better.

Edit: Also, I'm pleasantly surprised with this thread. Everyone is being very positive. Except about spaghetti, but I don't much care for that kind of pasta myself.

I don't see why it'd be a major point of interest for most people. The only points I can see are multiple partners (if that's your thing) or the fear of increased infidelity (which is inane).

Does that entail anything?
Like would it have to be an open or poly relationship or something?
Cause I can't see the difference to non-bi.

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.
I am a bisexual guy married to a bisexual woman for the past 13 years and in a polyamorous relationship with a gay man who has lived with us both for about half of our marriage so... yeah. Yeah I'd do it.

I find bisexuality to be attractive in a person. Honestly I am much more likely to be attracted to a bisexual man or woman than I am to a straight woman or gay man.

I think it's my rampant narcissism that causes this, though.

Bi male here, been with my bi girl for around 9 years. So yeah, I could definitely be with someone who's bi. In all honesty I think it's quite an attractive quality!

I do have some bi friends who's straight partners have asked me (towards the beginning of their relationships) if they will be enough to keep their bi partner happy. I've had this on a few occasions, so I guess it's a fairly commonplace worry with bi-straight couples.

That sounds like a fairly complicated relationship (not judging at all btw, I just find it interesting) I'd love to know how your male partner feels about the relationship. Obviously he's happy with it, otherwise he wouldn't be there, but it must be very weird at times for him?

well im a straight guy, so getting a bi-sexual girlfriend is like the damn holy grail.

So yes.

Complicated? For me it's natural. Everything else I ever tried seemed "complicated" - this is easy. ;)

In all fairness, my wife and male partner are kind of like... brother and sister? They're probably best friends, even if it's relatively platonic in nature.

To give a brief history, I'm 34, my male partner is 34, my wife is 31. We all met in college when my wife turned 19 so... we've kind of grown up together. Shared a lot of history together. We're just family now, I can't imagine anything else. We share a home and a bank account, credit cards, checkbook - everything a married couple would share. There's just three of us.

In the beginning things were a little odd but we were all barely out of our teens and figuring things out. My male partner has been with women (we've all actually been with other partners together) - it's just not his preferred method of expressing his sexuality, let's put it that way.

I don't think at this point it's weird for either of them. In fact, I can't imagine that either of my partners would want to live without the other one in their lives; even if it's not a sexual relationship. We all get along so well together that we'll spend weeks not seeing anyone else and just kicking around the house together. If there's any drawback it's possibly that when you live with two of your best friends it's easy to become socially isolated otherwise. ;)

I would not. Yanno, dat huge dating pool bisexuals have. Depending on the integrity of the person in question, cheating on their end would be as inevitable as death.

Heh. Oh wow, I never expected the thread to get this popular!

When I posted this I wasn't sure if being bisexual was a trait other people wouldn't like in a partner, I was afraid if I were to ever date someone in the future that they might not like for it, I didn't really need to worry though. I guess I was just being insecure.

Thanks for all your positive responses everybody!

Nothing wrong with that. XD

As a bisexual I don't see how it matters and I would personally be offended if someone found this a deal breaker. It's just sexual orientation. This doesn't make you more promiscuous than a straight or homosexual individual. It doesn't mean you're attracted to every man or woman with bodily functions. When I change in the same room as my female friends I do not feel the need to perve, nor do I consider them attractive just because they're female. I'm sick of the judgements I get in real life from misinformed people who somehow think it's okay to define you by who you happen to be attracted to.
Very true! I'm glad that much of the Escapist seems to share this sentiment. This is a very positive place!

The girl I have a crush on is bisexual (maybe pansexual, the lines are a bit blurry by her own admission) so I am going to go with a yes. The only thing it makes me think of is that I have slightly more competition (though in this case it doesn't really matter.)

I have been, many times. As long as the lady I'm into likes guys it's not a huge deal if she also likes ladies.

absolutely..being bi (or pan) myself, if you are in a committed monogamous relationship, it should matter who your partner USED to sleep with.

Does it have boobs? Then, yes.
An obese, cleanly shaven man walks in, covered in oil.

Be this what you wished for? Are you ready for all this man-lovin'?
It would take some time, but I'm sure I could. Put me in a room with ANYTHING for a week, and I'll fuck it.
