Would you date a bisexual man?

[Seymorbutts]

Just that really. A man who you believed to be genuinely bisexual, not a gay man on his way out of the closet. Someone who’d had long-term relationships with both men and women and who you’ve never known to sleep around with either men or women. If not, why would it bother you?

You’re aware some heterosexual men like that actively?

This list of men I wouldn't date is huge.

I wouldn't date

Blondes
Vegans
Non drivers
Men who play guitar
Posh men

In fact I wouldn't have sex with the vast majority of men I meet for all sorts of reasons . No one owes anyone their attraction. It's not a job interview.

I’m going to take a wild stab in the dark and guess that there is a bit more behind your dating/partnership choices than this.

Yes I’m aware thanks. So?

Why would it be grim?

I don’t think it’s hypocritical. She’s allowed her preference. She’s honest with people she dates and respects people’s preferences. It’s really weird that people would try to say anyone should date anyone else. There are lots of people out there willing to date bisexual people, but like everyone else, they need to accept no for an answer. People don’t need to explain their reasoning and preferences.

Mumsnetters tend not to be aware of this, no.

I’m guessing she wouldn’t have married her husband if he did though. 😂

surely if you were attracted to them you would. You are attracted to a person and their personality, as are they.

Lots of us are aware, but if someone doesn’t want to date someone that wants that, they won’t date them, regardless of sexuality.

There are things some people do in their sex life that wouldn’t be for me….thats allowed.

Some people on this thread are coming across as really creepy and coercive.

Yes, and I think it's hot. (Also, I believe bi people might be better in bed because they know how things work both ways).

Nope!

No, absolutely not.

I am not attracted to men who want to have sex with other men.

Nobody has to look at anything. People are entitled to choose what characteristics in a partner they do and don't want.

Bisexual men are in their own special category and I would never date one. I am entitled to that choice, as is any other person.

Truthfully, I'd be too worried about the health risks.

This with absolute fucking bells on.
Do or so not do whomsoever you please for whatever reason you like. But these thread are always an outpouring of biphobia.

i would only date a man interested in monogamy so as his only partner at the time he would be straight. Him faithfully dating men in the past wouldn’t bother me but if he had experimented with risky sexual behaviour it would be a hard no in for sti reasons (we don’t know what is around the corner and multiple partners increases the risk)

😂😂😂 what the fuck has that got to do with dating someone bisexual? Is that how you think bisexual men like to have sex? Do you think bisexual people have more kinks than straight people? Also the question was dating not sex. Hilarious.

Same here, pretty basic, but that's how I would feel too.

No, because the thought of them being attracted to men, or engaging in sexual activities with men would put me off and kill any attraction, I can’t change that, nor do I need to, but I have no attraction for men who are physically attracted and engage in sexual activities with men, and that’s ok, I can decline ri be wirh anyone I chose. It doesn’t mean I think they’d cheat, I just don’t want to be wirh a man where if a good looking guy came over I’d be thinking does he fancy him

if for you it’s irrelevant then that’s good too,

I’d request this is deleted if I was you, it’s a sick answer and nothing to do with bi sexual orientation, I’d then go and think about why I’d write such a thing,

No I wouldn't and I'm not sure why I wouldn't.

Maybe because the only 2 bi men I've known have ended up with men? I'm not sure.

Nope or at least not with any intention of taking it anywhere. If it was literally just sex it wouldn’t bother me. If I was looking for someone to spend the rest of my life with I wouldn’t go there, no.
