Studies show that most men who claim to be bisexual actually have a clear preference one way or another. So I'm calling bullshit on the number of guys claiming to be bi.

I actually agree. I was more attracted to men for a little while before I got a great gf about 8 months back.Snowalker said:
I don't think you've much to worry about if you did. You've a gun pointing at us! (Which, is a side note, is one thing I like about the GLBT community: They tend to be very pro-Second Amendment, or at least the ones I've met)Hitokiri_Gensai said:
OT: If it's a topic of romance, love, or sexuality, being bi has some bearing.
When dealing with what game you recomend or how you like muffins, it's not really relevent.
omnisexual? kinky. but yeah, i, as a matter of fact , am not bisexual- i'm bi-curious! big difference. maybe alot of people who are bisexual are just bicurious- or whatever the equivalent is for gay lads. also: how many people on here are not straight? 10%? 20%? i only ask because on average, around 10% of people are either bicurious, bisexual or just plain 'ol gay. if it's reaching 20%- there may be liars among us!Julianking93 said:

Maybe sexuality isn't black or white; you can like both men and women, but prefer one.
If there is an influx of bisexuals, I think it's because more people "evaluate" their sexuality nowadays. Perhaps earlier, a lot of guys liked other guys, but women more, so they say they are straight to avoid any hardship.
Hate to break it to you sweetie, but having a preference for one gender or the other doesn't mean someone's not bisexual:poppabaggins said:

I think a lot of bisexual people (a lot, not all) are quite narcissistic about being bi. Of course, it's not something to be ashamed of, but it's not exactly something to be incredibly proud of either. I don't mean that in a homophobic way, but you haven't really accomplished anything by being bisexual. Hope that makes sense.
Maybe it's just a pride thing? I know a fair few 'non-straight' people (lack of a better word, I don't just mean gay/bi) who will make their sexuality a talking point and introduce themselves as such. Or, I don't quite know how to phrase this, but maybe they think it's part of their stereotype. (I'm gay, and I like musicals, I'm a lesbian and I like football, etc.)

I think it's a guarantee there's at least a few people lying about that >.<eggmiester said:
As for being bicurious, yeah there are lots of people are and I think that's where the whole "bi" trend comes from. Uncertainty and in need of a label to identify yourself with. Needing placement I guess. You can refer back to the Kinsey scale for all of this though as I firmly agree with it. It's just as difficult finding a 100% straight person as it is a 100% gay person.
But then you have the people who really don't know what they want and are just experimenting which I think is something everyone should do. Can't knock it til you've tried it, after all
It does seem so, doesn't it?Woodsey said:
Most of the time I hear someone on this forum say they're asexual there seems to be this underlying tone of "I'm going against the current, baby! Yeah!!!"
I have two friends of mine who are bi, one of them only came out last week (but we all knew way before he did) and something tells me he did it for two reasons: he was unsure so he played it neutral or he had literally the biggest crush on my other bi friend and did it to impress her.
It is easy for someone to play them self off as bi for acceptance because they don't have to be attached to dating one sex and thus doesn't have to provide any form of proof or commitment. We now more than ever have many stars and idols who are or were gay (ie; Neil Patrick Harris, Ellen Degeneris) and it has sort of become the in thing right now. Probably due to whatever stereo types are attached to being a homosexual. Funny, charismatic and fashion conscious for gay men and independent, good natured and well grounded for lesbian women. Maybe I'm just being an armchair psychologist but I just wish people would be who they are, in the end they'll be much happier about it.

Being bi just seems like a strange fad to me at times. Some gay friends of mine agreed. Though there are some who are authentic. Still, I always found it kinda weird that pretty much 99% of every emo in my high school was bi. Yup, seems genuine to me.

I think there is a lot of this going on. It has been discussed before on here and you can imagine how well that went. It seems more common with females to me.
