I don't know. I don't actually put a lot of thought into the things I say or do. It's easier that way.

At the beginning of this thread people were really suspicious of bi-identified men who came off as straight who want to seem open-minded. Due to recent developments I can now confirm that I am definitely Bi. This leads me to inductively conclude that the others who were tentatively bi-leaning are also correct to click the "Bi" button.

no such thing as a bisexual man. you're just queer.

Count Arioch the 28th · Fri Oct 14, 2011 12:48 pm

Bi women exist though.

Therefore, he's a bisexual woman stuck in a man's body, but doesn't realize it?

Count Arioch the 28th · Fri Oct 14, 2011 1:21 pm

Don't be ridiculous. Bi women exist because a man is entitled to as many wives as he can support, and it's just easier on the harem of they have fun with each other for the amusement of their Man. They're not people like you and me.

In PRs mind, men are either straight or they're not straight. He can't be fucked to use actual definitions of words.

My former roommate was like that. He said that if you had tried homosexuality once (even if you didn't like it and never tried it again), you were a british cigarette (lol at the filter). There wasn't a middle ground.

Usually people who protest that much are Closet british cigarettes themselves.

Orion · Post by **Orion** » Fri Oct 14, 2011 3:24 pm

Thing is, PR isn't even completely wrong. I'm fine with dividing people into "straight" and "queer." I am a queer. And frankly, I have no problem being a cigarette either. Although my ironic slur of choice is definitely "homo." Bisexual is just the type of homo I happen to be.

Yes, I think I read an article about that somewhere (I'll look for it and post it ... I'll need to use bit.ly on the link because the domain name contains the c-word and the board will filter out even http links) that talked about and explained some of the reasons why bi-sexuality is higher among women than men.

RiotGearEpsilon · Post by **RiotGearEpsilon** » Fri Oct 14, 2011 5:37 pm

My working theory as to why that's so is that women are predominantly portrayed as sexually desirable objects in western culture and men, generally, are not. Men ARE sometimes portrayed as sexually desirable objects in the media, but women are ALMOST ALWAYS portrayed as sexually desirable objects in the media. (Sometimes this is in addition to their character, sometimes this replaces their character.) Women and men alike are trained by the media to view women as targets for sexual affection, whilst men are generally not so conditioned to view their own gender as something to be libidinously pursued. Hence, female bisexuality is in some way legitimized/encouraged by dominant media simply because female-desiring sexuality is more legitimized/encouraged than male-desiring sexuality, because most of the people who make the dominant media are men who desire women and express that in the media they produce as 'the normal way of things'.

if you're a "bi" guy you're actually gay.
if you're a "bi" girl you're just an attention whore.

if you argue otherwise, you're wrong.

Define "gay" for me, PR. While you're at it, define "straight".

This is probably a waste of time, but meh, I'm curious.

Like I said: let's not worry about what the words actually mean, or anything.

I'll save you both some time. Here's what he'll say:

straight = not gay.
gay = not straight.
don't worry its not actually circular or anything if you think otherwise you're wrong

Oh for fuck's sake just use the goddamn ignore button and quit jerking off about what clever mockery you can deploy

I thought guys who say they're bi are actually straight guys trying to score points with their pretentious liberal buddies while still dating nothing but girls?

Orion · Post by **Orion** » Fri Oct 14, 2011 8:10 pm

Chamomile,

Actually, according to both huge amount of both anecdotal evidence and studies conducted by Northwestern and OKCupid suggest that most men who claim to be bi are actually gay men trying to stay "half-in half-out" of the closet. Of the remainder, sure, most of them only date girls. Hell, I only date girls. But there's much more to life than dating. In general my experience suggests that there are relatively few people who date both genders equally. Almost everyone has a strong preference for one gender when it comes to long term romance and True Wuv. That doesn't mean they're not bi.

gay: dude who likes dudes (and vice-versa)
straight: dude who likes chicks (and vice-versa)

Wow, there is a subtle joke somewhere in there. Let's look at this as a logic statement

Gay: A likes A (and vice versa which means ... A likes A)
Straight: A likes B (and vice versa whch means ... B likes A)

So if B likes B?

And if A likes A and A likes B does that mean he is straight gay?

Every birth is legitimate unless you are legally banned from having children (e.g. One Child Policy in China). You are a fuckhead and your source is a fuckhead. Congrats.
lol sperging over words

sorry broski established definitions defy your emotional reasoning

Emphasis mine.

not believing in the legitimacy of bisexuality != redefining the term "illegitimate"

Count Arioch the 28th · Sat Oct 15, 2011 2:46 am

I have nothing anywhere near a statistically significant sample, but of the 5 women I can say I had an actual relationship with, 3 were bi, and all 3 of them cheated on me. The 2 straight women did not cheat on me.

Worldwide, 3 is not significant. But that makes me reluctant to date a bi woman again.
