I've been with my (now) wife for 11 years now, so...yeah, not a problem. We discussed it early on to make sure our expectations were on the same page about if it was going ot be monogomous and what the ground rules were if it wasn't.
Could you be attracted to a bisexual?

Would I be attracted to her? Yes. Would I want to go out with or marry her? No.
If I was already in a commited relationship and then she said she swung both ways, I don't know how I would react. I'd probably accept it and keep going, though I'd be upset that she didn't tell me from the outset (at which point I would've probably never started the relationship). Bisexuality doesn't have any corellation to infidelity, I know, but there are double the number of potential partners, half of whom I cannot compete with.

As a bisexual person, I should hope so. That said, someone's orientation doesn't matter as long as they are at least attracted to you in the same way you're attracted to them. If someone's husband was attracted to cheerleaders and she wasn't, herself, a cheerleader, should she breakup with him or get a divorce for liking something else in addition to her? Same thing, in my opinion.
Isn't everyone a little bit gay though?
I think it would be easier for me to be attracted to a bi/pans. Of course the idea that 'what if they prefer the other sex more than my sex!' thing would probably come up. I don't know if many straight people would go for me though. The only people I have been with have been bi, and one was gay.
Never been with a straight person...I never really thought about that before. What if I am not attracted to straight people??? Oh GOD!

To the op a lot of people seem to think a man can't be bisexual, you are automatically gay. Double standards and ting but I think if they're mature they'll be interested regardless. Me personally, I don't care. Heck you could only like women and somehow find my slight femininity to be attractive to you(actually has happened) as long as you like me then that's fine. My current girlfriend is somewhat bisexual and it works well for us
My ex is actually bisexual, didn't bother me one bit. I'm straight but I never had much of a male influence in my life and I grew up around gay people so I don't really see what the big deal is with people being gay or straight or whatever else.
Hell, I'm straight, my ex is bi, her new girlfriend is a lesbian and I'm the one that got them to start dating not even 2 weeks after she left me, if it makes her happy she deserves it and I wish her and her girlfriend the best. Though my attitude towards this has her girlfriend thinking I'm either gay or secretly a woman, and somehow I'm a lesbians wingman too (I couldn't make this up if I tried, seriously wtf?).
Captcha: no regrets
Damn right captcha.

As a heterosexual male I would have no problem with that at all. That would be kind of awesome, actually, having a significant other who not only has her own understanding of her body, but shares, to an extent, your understanding of female attractiveness.
In fact, I don't think I'd even be uncomfortable if my hypothetical bi girlfriend made some sort of female attractiveness joke (like "i'd hit it" or something, doesn't matter). I'd give her a high five.

I'll make sure to remember this line should I ever have the specific misfortune of dating a vain bisexual person.Aramis Night said:
yeah, so long as they were my preferred gender and stayed faithful(monogamous) I don't really care.
I've personally dated a bisexual girl, I had no issue with it. I mean, it never bothered me. I don't have that many hangups when it comes to that sort of thing. I do think it's unfortunately more socially acceptable to be a bisexual woman than a man though. Not that I agree with that!
I feel like an asshole saying "just be who you are", as a heterosexual guy that's easy for me to say. I do wish the best for you though, and hope you stumble upon compatible folks!
Any good advice I might have? If you're living in a small podunk town somewhere, maybe try and get yourself to a more progressively minded city. Generally speaking, more people with more open minds equals more of a chance for you to find your right environment.

It doesn't matter. I don't see why it would be an issue. I'm not attracted to person because they are hetrosexual. I've been attracted to gay guy before (not because he was gay) though obviously that attraction was not shared.
So long as the person doesn't try to pull the "I'm bisexual and I need to have a partner of each gender so it's not cheating on you" thing which a friend of mine had her gf try then there is no problem.

Spend 2 seconds on Tumblr or deviant art and you'll see how untrue that is.cthulhuspawn82 said:
