Would you date a bisexual man?

[BeJustScroller]

Because as a man I think im bisexual (although never done anything with a guy before) but I can only see myself dating and marrying a woman, I have sexual attraction to both but romantically only into women. Would this turn women off?

It wouldn't put me off if a man was bisexual. Ultimately, if he finds me attractive and doesn't cheat on me, it really doesn't matter to me what other types of people he finds attractive.

Yes I’d be much more open to MMF than MFF. If I was more body confident that would be a great way for me to enjoy that, and for DP to try sex with a man without too much pressure! Unfortunately the idea of trying to contort myself in order for 2 men not to see my wobbly bits would send me into a meltdown!

In my experience in bed, confidence is more important to men than what you look like.

I was in 13 year relationship with a ‘straight’ man. He came out as bisexual to me 11 years in to our relationship (house, 2 kids, dog). 2 years later he left to be his ‘authentic’ self. He’s now come out as gay.

After my experience, no I wouldn’t.

I'm a straight woman into straight men only.
I think some women would be put off dating you BUT that's just life, all you need is that one woman who isn't.
FWIW, there are homosexual people who will only date homosexuals and not bisexuals.
My advice is to be true to yourself and honest to prospective partners as everyone deserves informed consent.

I am a bisexual woman, I live in a very lgbtqia+-friendly city but strangely have experienced more biphobia from non-straight women than straight men. In my experience a lot of biphobia is related to a fear of cheating and the idea that the other sex can provide something that that person’s sex can’t. Everyone is entitled to their preferences but at the end of the day the people who are put off by your sexuality are just not the ones for you. In a relationship you should be able to be your true self from the start

Personally? No.
But I know a woman who dates a man who is and they appear blissful . But it wouldn't work for me.

I'm a 'true straight' woman as you would describe me, but your post is absolute nonsense I'm afraid!

Yup, same! Very high sex drive and huge attraction to male bodies. Not a single twinge for a woman!

Yes it would not bother me. You never know who you are going to fall in love with! A close, married friend of mine has shocked herself and all of us by falling head over heels in love with a woman, she never considered herself bi or gay in any way.

I like the idea that you fall in love with whoever you do, rather than 'disallowing' half the population. Saying that, I am straight with only straight relationship history, but would not be averse to a relationship with a woman if that somehow emerged.

My DH once said that he thought that it was more common in the younger generation for women to get turned on by seeing two men together.

That was the moment I realised he gave me the complete ick, for several reasons.

I would never date a bisexual man.

For years and years when this question was asked on here if someone said they wouldn't date a bisexual person they got a lot of criticism about it, that's where the aggressive straightness came from. People are not willing to apologise for it anymore or be made to feel like they're a horrible person because of their sexual preferences and they will state it straight out (sometimes aggressively) because they know that there will be some who are going to call it biphobic and demand explanations.
As long as people keep calling it biphobic that's going to happen.

No, I wouldn’t.

It’s just a personal preference - I’m not attracted to bisexual men.

Why though? Your personal preference can still be biphobic.

Why do you think it's acceptable to try to shame people for their sexuality and personal preferences that they don't have any control over?

@kkloo "Why though? Your personal preference can still be biphobic".

No. People are allowed to think whatever they want and have whatever preferences they want. It's the way those thoughts are expressed, either in words or actions that is the issue.

For example, the previous poster's friend is perfectly entitled to be repulsed at the thought of having sex with a woman. Expressing that disgust with offensive language is the issue.

Sorry- my last post was to @ClaudiaWankleman. Apologies, @kkloo

I don't think I said they couldn't? I just asked why - especially as the OP seems to think that 'just a preference' is never biphobic. The preference can be biphobic.

I'm not shaming - you want to read again.

@ClaudiaWankleman "The preference can be biphobic."

I don't understand.

Why even ask why though instead of accepting it?

Do you ask gay people why they're only attracted to the same sex? Or gay people who are only attracted to other gay people?

In what sense?

Why are you singling out that poster who didn’t say or even insinuate that it’s ’never Biphobic’? Its her personal preference as it is many on this thread

No you couid literally cheat anytime you fancied something I couid not provide lol

I’m not sure what you are asking.

Why am I not attracted to bi men?
The same way a gay man wouldn’t be sexually attracted to a woman. I’m just not.

’your personal preference can still be biphobic’
How does someone’s sexual preference of not wanting to have sex with a bi man make them biohopic?
