"I'm Bi"

[Mr.Pandah]

I've been reading these forums for a while and I made an account specifically to post this cause it's kind of getting on my nerves.

I have serious doubts that all the "bisexual" posters in the "what sexuality are you?" and "what do you find attractive" kinds of threads are actually bi.

Fuck you.

Really? Had to drop the F-bomb? Come on.

Edit: Can this please be the last "How does a bisexual work?" thread?

I have no questions about how bisexuality works I was just skeptical as to the authenticity of the amount of bisexuals posting in these forums, I don't know why you changed this into that.

So does this mean that each of the posters saying that they are adamantly bi, have pursued at least one relationship with either side, and at least once been completely comfortable performing a sexual act? Because in regards to saying "I'm just experimenting" I can also say that I am getting qualified to become a lawyer because i'm watching Judge Judy and I like how it looks.

There are a lot more bisexual people than you think. A lot of the people you know are probably bisexual but just don't admit it for fear of embarressment.

While people can lie more online due to the anonymity, I believe that most of the "I'm bi." people are telling the truth. That anonymity also adds the confidence to easier let people know your sexual orientation.

*BLEEP* you.

Don't we just love being told that we're all really lying? But you're right. I'll edit it out.

I hate all this "did you know so and so was gay?" that goes on. Why does it need to be made such a point of?

To be frank I really see know problem with this. For instance have one close friend who is known around the entire as lesbian. This pisses her the fuck off because has repeated told people that she is Bi-Sexual. I therefore make a clear point to correct this rumor. I do so by telling everyone that she is bi. When I off handedly mentioned this to her she gave me sincere thank-you.

And of course. The internet is filled with only honest and truthful people. Lets be serious here.

Don't forget "normal". No matter what your predilections are you can always feel "normal" here because there is always someone else to share them with.
BTW - Normal is eventually boring.

Woah woah, slow down there cowgirl. Normal? What do you think this is?! Some utopian paradise?!

Only if I get to be more normal than you. Which sadly I am probably not, dammit.
I choose to continue to be my secretly ab-normal self and you cannot make me change even with the power of false anonymity.

Edit: Stupid nested quotes, I am too tired for you tonight.

haha the Bleep is certainly an interesting tactic. It was more for your safety then anything else.

The way I read what he is saying is that he is doubting most, not all. Just consider it as you're the one he doesn't think he is lying. Besides, it's not worth getting upset over. =)

Look I'm not trying to shut you up or take away your marriage rights or anything like that, please don't be offended. If you say you're bisexual, then as far as I'm concerned it's no business of mine and you can do what you want. It's my (and alot of people's) nature to be skeptical.

I don't even know how one can be "more normal" than someone else. If you manage to pull this off, I'd be impressed.

haha False Anonymity...So I'm truthfully exposed?! Blast! Back to the Panda lair!

I'm just going to throw this out there, where I'm from Bi-sexuallity both real and fake was only cool if your a woman, and male Bi-sexuals are just as discriminated against as gays, and I thought this was pretty much all over the United States and other slightly or majorly religious westernized countries.

 

[CrazyCapnMorgan]

I don't mind/care about anyone's personal preferences, be it religious, sexuality, etc. It is societies general taboos on these subjects that most people are wary of and the reason for some to hide their preferences rather than accept who they are and be happy about it despite the petty differences that are flung about. The argument is never given that these things are inherently bad or good, but rather it's how the argument has been manipulated into the good or bad question. It takes a great deal of courage to look past these taboos and realize it's just another person's perspective, and really, there's nothing wrong with multiple perspectives on any given subject, just as long as you don't dismiss others' perspectives simply because they aren't your own.

 

[smallthemouse]

You know, in general society, people don't go around exclaiming their sexualities. We all talk about our "gaydar" but you know what? That's all BS. There's kids who you are completely sure are straight who fall somewhere on the gay spectrum and haven't bothered to tell you. Is there any reason to, after all? Furthermore, it's safer to admit it anonymously than in RL. I will say that I'm bi online, but in RL, when I'm asked (and I have been asked), I avoid the question. Most of the time, I stay silent, make sly little grins, or point to my boyfriend as an answer, depending on who asked.

In an anonymous forum, people ask questions that don't get asked in RL, and people answer in ways they don't in RL. It's really that simple.

This thread is not meant to offend, please don't take it that way, I?m just curious as to what you think.

Look, I get that you meant well, but your approach fails. Rather than assuming that everyone else is wrong, you might want to reconsider your own approach to your question.

I understand but there is potentially an equal amount of people pretending BECAUSE they are anonymous as well. I'm not singling you out.

What I'm trying to say i guess is that i feel that to be bisexual, you must have tried both ways and liked it at least once before you go telling everyone that you're bisexual and this is how bisexuals are, and that there must be far more bisexual posters here that have not done this than have.

edit: and if im wrong in my definition, ok fine, im still not going to discriminate, and since everyone is saying it, "i don't care!!! lets not discuss anything on a discussion forum!"

 

[WinkyTheGreat]

I'm bi, and as a straight person I've noticed this too. There is a scale of human sexuality (whose name escapes me at the moment) according to which very few are entirely straight or entirely gay. Most are just mostly gay or mostly straight.

That would be the Kinsey Scale. Even it does a pretty poor job though as it doesn't allow room for asexuality and the like.

OT: Just because you see certain characteristics in your area doesn't mean they hold true for everything. If I used that logic, I would find a serious disconnect with the number of minorities on this website as my town probably has a total of 5 people that aren't white. Maybe you're just not looking in the right places.

 

[Mr.Pandah]

Well...I'm going to try and break this down for you.

Anonymity+Internet = Capability of being who you actually are.

This is also true for being someone who you actually aren't.

When people say they are bisexual on here, I find it hard to believe they're doing it to be "cool" or edgy or anything silly like that.

I'm straight, not gay, not bi, not trans, not a furry, not any of that stuff.

I'M SPECIAL NOW.

So yeah. LOVE ME FOR MY STRAIGHTNESS!

I point to the fact that you have a panda as your avatar......

and yes, I know I have a tiger in mine.............. but........but Hobbes is a BOSS.



OT!

I used to think most people that claimed they were bisexual was really just shooting for some spotlight, but to be honest, I thought that with anyone who would openly and proudly claim that they were straight, bi, gay, furry, mech, purple.


then I finally realized something........


I dont care what sexuality they are!

My affection does not extend into "furry" territory though, thankfully. I don't need to be anymore different then I already am. =X

 

[lacktheknack]

Anonymity+Internet = A good chance you are pretending to be something or someone you are not.

This. I'm pretty sure I've seen <link=http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/impostor.htm>this guy on this forum quite a few times.

 

[DarthFennec]

Hmm, maybe you're right about tha- wait no, never mind, I really am bi.

Ummm...

If one's avatar reveals one's sexuality, then what does mine say about me?
