"I'm Bi"

I think it's just today's society that makes people automatically assume they're bisexual rather than just sexually confused or bicurious. Most people on here are still relatively young and there's MUCH more tolerance on the subject than in the past, so what's the problem with just saying you're bisexual right off the bat? I'd say that a good portion of the people on here who claim to be bisexual just haven't figured out what they like yet.
On another note, the word "bi" just sounds kind of dumb to me now. With so many people claiming it (Including a girl I know who claims to be "bi" but "Would never go out or sleep with another girl"), it's harder to believe when they don't actually use the full word. If I hear "I'm bisexual", I think "Okay, you're sexually attracted to men and women equally.". When I hear "I'm bi", I think "Okay, you like to wear skinny jeans.".

Why the hell did I have to check for new messages?Eico said:
I'd be perfectly willing to have sex with males or females. I'd just be MORE willing to do so with a male.
Well I've been on these forums a while and I have serious doubts that all the "heterosexual" posters in the "what sexuality are you?" and "what do you find attractive" kinds of threads are actually straight.

OP, way to be condescending. You have no right to point a finger at people and say, "hey, you know what, I hear bisexuality is very trendy right now. Therefore, most bisexuals are just making shit up. lololol my learnings." That's exactly like saying, "I hear Buddhism is very popular right now thanks to Richard Gere. Therefore most if not all Buddhists are just faking to be cool."
True, there is a stage during teenage years when the body doesn't know what the hell is going on, and some teens label themselves as bisexual because they honestly believe they are. And yes, there are always going to be some people who claim they are something - bisexual, whatever - to impress or shock other people. But that does not mean you can wander into a forum and accuse everybody of lying based on the stereotype that bisexuals are trendy. I'm bi, and I'm the least trendy person I know. And I'm not attracted to men and women purely because I think it's awesome - it's just the way I am. Like a lot of bisexuals.

Divide by zero because infinite times this.Radeonx said:
I'm sick of the sexuality threads now, it's gotten stale. I don't care if who you find yourself attracted to, as long as you don't base your personality around your sexuality, you're fine in my book.
It's also because many young people who don't really have their sexuality figured out will still feel the need to put a label on it, and if they aren't sure, they can come to a conclusion they are bi or asexual.
I myself, for a time, when growing up would have identified myself as bi, if asked, as I kinda had crushes for boys and girls.
But when I've grown up and learned to differentiate sexual attraction from just intellectual, or thinking someone is cute, I've noticed I have never felt like that towards a guy, so I'd call myself lesbian, if asked. It's not like my sexuality is a secret, but I don't see any reason to draw attention to it.

Well everyone is a bit bi, there is no such thing as 100% hetero or homo. I'm not completly bisexual, since I don't find manly men attractive 
Only girlie men, which is more hetero I suppose :/

Well the truth (In my completely subjective point of view) is that love don't give a toss about boundaries. We've all got the capacity to love any gender. We have, however, got a couple millennia of social stigmatization to prevent us from being able to accept that without some fairly major soul-searching.
But not being able to accept it or understand it doesn't make the feelings go away. Most of us (I've known only a single person in my entire life that was truly split 50/50 between the two main genders) prefer one of the sides but we've all got the capacity to feel attracted to the other as well. Some to a larger and some to a lesser degree.
If you think these 3 boxes are actually able to define the limits of human love then there's only one possible conclusion to make if you like girls and suddenly feel an attraction to a boy: You're bi.
That's not true though. You've merely met a boy that you feel attracted to (or a girl if it's the other way around. Same thing). I've been openly gay since my teens and I honestly thought I fit perfectly fine into that little neat box. But then I met a girl that completely turned my head. I'm not any less gay now than I was then even though I'm dating her on third year now. She's the only female I've ever found romantically or sexually interesting. But love knows no boundaries and I just got (un)lucky and fell for a person outside my normal preference-group.
Obviously all this is subjective. People can and will disagree for any number of reasons. That's their prerogative. I do not claim my view to be the final truth; it's merely MY truth. What I've seen, felt and experienced in my life leads me to believe that we all have the capacity to love anyone even though we all have preferences. Some may have their preferences more evenly divided than others but we've all got them.

What? People on the internet might be lying???? Never!
Look, yes, I'm sure that some of the people here who "claim to be bi-sexual" are saying it for attention.
I'm sure some of them aren't sure.
I'm sure some of them are school kids who don't know what sexual preference they are.
I'm sure some of them are.
But, really, who gives a shit?
For whatever reason they say it, let them.

I've heard it said that sexuality is either estrogen or testosterone acting on the brain. Both genders usually carry at least a little of each chemical. That would suggest to me that sexual attraction is somewhat mechanical and arbitrary. Like hunger.
Labels like 'homosexuality' and 'heterosexuality' and 'bisexuality' reinforce social conformity. It appears liberating, but really we are less likely to know how much our sexualities can change or be pushed.

Today everyone who ever fooled around with someone of the same gender or even thought about it claims to be bi.
Hell i made out with guys a few times, but i am straight as an arrow.

I know a lot of people who say it for attention, although in this day and age I don't think being bisexual is cool and edgy as it used to be, so I don't know what they're playing at.
I don't like the sort of 13 year old girls/guys claiming to be bisexual because they think someone of the same gender is attractive. During your teenage years, your hormones are all over which probably will cause an attraction to the same sex. In ten years time, I don't think some people will still be bi.
Some 16 year old guy on my Facebook was all, "Yeah, I'm not bisexual any more." What a tit.
