The stereotypes of bisexuals are that we just like sex, that we can't be in monogamous relationships, and that we're just confused, indecisive, and that it's just a phase. How do you guys view bisexuals? Do you agree that these stereotypes or no? Discuss.
Well I'm sure there are bisexuals who just like sex as much as monogamous. Is not the fact that we're bisexual what define that, everyone is different.
Just because you're attracted to both sexes doesn't mean you can't be in a monogamous relationship. It's like the same thing as saying all gay people are trying to get with every male they see, it's just a stupid stereotype.
Many people find it easier to claim to be bisexual before transitioning solely as gay. The downside to this is it gives people the impression that all people claiming to be bisexual are just going through a phase before deciding.
They're both just dumb stereotypes, bisexuality is real and their relationship capabilities are no different than anyone else's
I just think bisexuals make us geys really insecure because if you have a bisexual boyfriend,he could wake up one day and decide he want a family,kids,picture perfect family and leave you hanging and heart broken.
I am bisexual and I have to deal with people's closed minded views all the time. One that majorly annoys me is that people say that you end up "choosing" one in the end, meaning you choose to settle down with a person of the same sex or someone of the opposite sex. Like when a bisexual female gets married to a dude, everyone says that she chose the straight life, or that's proof that she was never really bisexual in the first place. If I choose to be in a relationship with a girl that doesn't mean I'm now a lesbian, and if I choose to be in a relationship with a boy that doesn't mean that I'm now straight. I'll be bisexual for the rest of my life, no matter the gender of person I end up with. You can't just lose your bisexuality, it'll always be there.
I'm bi, but I often feel intimidated about it. Most people believe that bisexuality is just people being afraid to admit they're fully gay, which isn't true at all. Sometimes I'm uncomfortable in situations talking with straight guys about women because I feel like I'm not taken seriously. I know that I'm bi, but other people refuse to believe it's a thing. I guess it's something that only other bisexual people can understand.
About sex/monogamy, I know I crave both just as much as any other straight/gay person does. It's just that I don't have a preference on who I'm with.
Considering bi people as gays still in the closet is being ignorant. As Anvarie said, it's true that some gay people have that phase or use that as excuse before coming out, but that doesn't mean everyone who says that is bisexual actually likes exclusively the same sex. That doesn't make sense at all
Im physically and romantically attracted to both.
I don't know why thats so hard for people to believe and just get.
The idea of choosing whether to be one or the other (gay or straight) is asking me to be something I'm not.
These ignorant stereotypes need to stop, but sadly wouldn't.
