Now, i understand what you mean, i see a lot of people claiming there bi, but are usually straight with a curiosity. I can honestly say as a Bi guy that i really am Bi. As an example, i spent the entirety of my day yesterday hanging out with a gay friend at another friend birthday party. We made out at the end of the night, went home and texted the girl i plan on asking out pretty soon XD
I do believe (and I am in no way saying that ALL bi people are like this) that bisexuality has become something of a fashion statement. People say they are bi because its "cool" and "in" and "down with the kids" or what ever expression is hip right now. This is probably a huge minority but that does seem to be the impression I get sometimes. Then again I could be reading to far into it.
It could just be becoming more common, either directly through more people being born bi, or indirectly because more people are admitting it, due to less homophobia and such. As I've said in another thread there's seldom a black and white when it does come to sexuality and it is mostly shades of gray so we can't be sure.

In high school I felt the same way, it seemed like a lot of the bisexuals I meet had one ulterior motive or another and for saying they were, and for some it is just a phase, but sometimes people need to find themselves. Hell I've felt attracted to men before, I'm not entirely sure I could have sex with one so i don't claim to be bisexual, but I can see why so many young people think they would be.
I don't blame you for being sceptial. I've met many 'bisexuals' and 'homosexuals' and I reckon only 1 them was legit. I think the way to be sure that someone is bi or gay is to ask them is they could actually have sex with a guy/girl. If they hesitate (or something similar) then they probably aren't. Of course that's harder over the internet but helps in real life. I know I'm actually bi and I'm sure not one of those attention seeker ones because there's only three people who know (I haven't even told my best friend). I don't think you should dwell on it though, sexuality shouldn't be a big deal.
Ok, just to be clear, I figured bisexuality to mean one could have a romantic relationship with either gender freely, and preferably would have tried both before becoming all open about it, because as a straight male I can openly notice when another man could be sexually attractive, but I do not see myself ever pursuing a relationship, and would be revolted by the thought of sex with another man.
edit: i realize theres never a completely straight and completely gay person, but I have doubts about the amount of people who could freely say kiss and be aroused by both genders equally.

With all the G.I.R.L.s and the general attention seeking I see on the Internet on a daily/nightly basis I tend to feel it is just another form of attention seeking behavior from most people. No offense if you truly are, I would be interested in how many unbelievable ones you have run into when you have pressed them on it.Mr.Pandah said:

Not necessarily cool, but just a shock, since most people never met a bisexual and are naturally have a strong reaction to the unknownMr.Pandah said:

I agree completely
I know many people who think that bisexuality is not real and you are either on one side or the other. never on it.
I know my parents or extended family and even a few friends would never ever accept me for being a bisexual.
I feel it does not matter if I say damn that girl is sexy and not just get a couple of weird looks of wait what? or would believe that I am just being bicurious or whatever.
I can also find other bi people who are in the same boat. which I enjoy.[/quote]
Also, i think it's a helluva lot easier for girls to be bi. I don't know about you, (speaking to the internet as a whole) but alot of people seem to think i'm just a gay guy with commitment issues. Not the case, i just like both sides of the coin to an equal degree.

AMAZING. I've never seen that acronym before. haha
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.Mr.Pandah said:
BTW - Normal is eventually boring.
Well fiery wrath gives me something to look forward to tonight...Dethpixie said:

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.
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.
The "gods" of the search bar are still trying to find the last bisexual thread. They won't be here for a long time.Dethpixie said:
Woah woah, slow down there cowgirl. Normal? What do you think this is?! Some utopian paradise?!JezebelinHell said:
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.Dethpixie said:
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.
