I like to address something cos you seem to be putting words into my mouth here.
Yes, I do see others as bullying the OP because they are bringing other kind of comments here which is absolutely not relevant in any way at all to her own situation. They are telling her different reasons as to what bisexuality is about. If you read what the OP asked, she ignored all the rest, and actually defended herself on that she did indeed state the fact that she wrote about the orientation thing even in her profile. She wrote that he "denied" it when mentioned in conversation. How can someone lie to your face like that ?
I classify that as bullying. Even if you seem to think that is not the case. That is your opinion and you are entitled to it. Reversing my words and making assumption of my intent, I find that rude. Because it does not seem that you can see it from where I am sitting.
On the other note about generalisation and so forth. When others wrote with emotive words to describe their own situation, it was not a generalisation at all. Why do you seem to think that this is so ? They clearly stood up and wrote in a very direct and person way with emotions "this happened to me, and I did not like it". Why is this suddenly misconstrued by others as actually a generalisation on ALL bisexuals ? Are they not entitled to their own feelings and hurt because it has happened to them ? I do not see that kind of situation actually means that they will be harmful to bisexuals, or to hate them at all. That is the issue here isn't it ? Cos if this is also not a case of manipulating what other people are saying, then I do not know what is.
Of course that doesn't fit in with your view of bisexual people as sexually predatory, promiscuous manipulators.
Please do not put words into my mouth. Thank you. I find those 4 bisexual 20-something very sexually predatory in many respect. Yes. I did not have to explain my reasoning and my feelings on this thread at all. But I did. It was done so to explain why I felt the way I did. But instead of getting sympathy, it is so nice to be berated even though I was actually harassed and was as upset as the OP did during those dating times. I actually went into a bit of a down turn for a few days, and actually cried about it.
If you must know what happened. Then I had to talk to some close friends to ground me back up, and I asked what I should do. They told me to ignore it. Then an ex told me to be kind and write a kind message back. But this enticed this young lad to be seeing it as an encouraging thing to do. I actually was scared that he took this as a "come on" sign. So in the end, I was even more rude and harsh and wrote something very blunt to let him know of my seriousness. He did not respect me at that point.
The previous point I made about moral radar is just that. It is one's own moral radar, and not theirs. The fact that I had to be rude to this person, when I actually did not wanted to and did not mean to, put me in a put place for a few days. Even though this person did not know so. I blamed myself for actually not writing my own profile in a way that is understood. I had to go to friends to ground myself and remind myself the kind of person that I am. From that, it is quite odd to see others then misconstruing me saying that this is a wrongful moral radar on the side of the bisexual themselves.
If someone respected you, then they would have done so and do not continue to be pushy.
