Don't we just love being told that we're all really lying? But you're right. I'll edit it out.Mr.Pandah said:Really? Had to drop the F-bomb?

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.
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.GiantRaven said: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?
Only if I get to be more normal than you. Which sadly I am probably not, dammit.Mr.Pandah said:Woah woah, slow down there cowgirl. Normal? What do you think this is?! Some utopian paradise?!JezebelinHell said: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:And of course. The internet is filled with only honest and truthful people. Lets be serious here.
BTW - Normal is eventually boring.
haha the Bleep is certainly an interesting tactic. It was more for your safety then anything else.Dunvi said:Don't we just love being told that we're all really lying? But you're right.

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.Dunvi said:Don't we just love being told that we're all really lying? But you're right. I'll edit it out.Mr.Pandah said:Really?

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.JezebelinHell said:Only if I get to be more normal than you.

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.
I understand but there is potentially an equal amount of people pretending BECAUSE they are anonymous as well. I'm not singling you out.Dunvi 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.smallthemouse said:This thread is not meant to offend, please don't take it that way, I?m just curious as to what you think.
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.Klumpfot said: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.
My affection does not extend into "furry" territory though, thankfully. I don't need to be anymore different then I already am. =XKalezian said:Mr.Pandah said: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!

See? Straight enough to cut freakin' lines of cocaine.arragonder said:hmmmm *uses mr. pandah to cut lines of cocaine* yeah you're pretty straight alright. now help me find someone to snort this cocaine, cause I don't want it. (no, I really don't know what cocaine has to do with any of this, all I know if I'm bi and loving it)Mr.Pandah said:Well...I'm going to try and break this down for you.

If one's avatar reveals one's sexuality, then what does mine say about me?
For some reason I am TERRIFIED to click on that. >.<lacktheknack said:This.
