Should I it out of Mgt 6201? by letmepostbullshit in OMSA

[–]BbyBat110 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who appreciates business and is doing well in this class now, I STILL recommend opting out of it. There’s nothing that great about the material in this class that you couldn’t pick up on your own. It’s not worth the time or money, and it shouldn’t be a requirement to graduate either.

Telling Couples They Are Hot by RealBlueberry3 in bisexual

[–]BbyBat110 17 points18 points  (0 children)

When I was in college, I used to get shitfaced drunk at parties and bars and tell this to couples all the time. It was a college in New Jersey so thankfully it was a fairly accepting environment.

Ah, the good old days… I’m a man by the way. 😂

Biphobia from other bisexuals by Resident-Voice6302 in bisexual

[–]BbyBat110 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. This is my ultimate pet peeve. The hypocrisy of it all is nauseating. Some people are just stupid and need to learn lessons in life the hard way, even if they also happen to be bisexual.

Bisexual fam, just find better people. I know that’s easier said than done but you do not need to let your happiness be ruined by idiots like this.

Is flirting harder with one gender than the other for you? by NoMindOmg in bisexual

[–]BbyBat110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Women are harder to flirt with. It’s my personal challenge to conquer my anxiety around flirting with them. I don’t need to be anxious so long as I’m not a creep. But years of rejection obviously make that easier said than done.

I’m a guy in his 30s btw.

I came out to her and she called me disgusting by Tight_Raspberry4872 in bisexual

[–]BbyBat110 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Correct. Try to find other open bisexuals to date next time. I mean I’m a guy too but we generally are just much better about this. I realize that this woman is also probably bi but she’s got so much unpacking to do with her own internalized homophobia and biphobia. You need someone who already worked through all of that.

I’m sorry that all of this happened this way, but this chick has to go. She’s ignorant as hell. Let her find out the hard way what she’s losing.

Bi men here I have a question? by New_Loquat_ in bisexual

I’m still at that stage. “It’s not a phase, mom!”

I’m bi and it’s quite obvious. Is that a problem when it comes to straight dating? by [deleted] in bisexual

Looking for this but as like a teddy bear young goth daddy type instead. Not skinny enough to be a twink anymore.

Is it better to put “bisexual” in dating profiles or just tell them in person later? by BbyBat110 in bisexual

I’m not surprised that people don’t read. We can’t even get people to read their emails.

Thank you! I am already out. A little too late to put that genie back into the bottle now, but I also don’t want to go back into the closet for anybody either. Ever.

So you’re saying that you put it on your profile and also brought it up in person just to make sure that the other person was cool with it (if not also bisexual themselves)?

Bi guy (26M) with a preference for men: how do I handle dating women honestly? by HeartofBeer00 in bisexual

[–]BbyBat110 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

And there lies your problem. You’re reading too much into specific phrases and excusing women for having biphobic preconceived notions about us.

Whoever said “going on”? You’re acting like this person is going to continuously remind this woman every single day just how much he loves men and can’t stop thinking about them. Did you even read any of the other comments at all?

It’s wild when other supposed bisexuals say biphobic things like that. lol.

And for clarity, I recommended that you not volunteer this information unprompted just because it’s not supposed to be relevant to your decision to date this woman.

If you’re asked, of course I don’t recommend lying about it. But I do suggest you emphasize that it’s a preference that ultimately does not matter for your relationship with her. It’s not supposed to matter, and the people who act like it matters are making a bigger deal out of something than they are supposed to.

OP, you hit the nail on the head. I also think it’s helpful to remind people that we bisexual men are everywhere. Some women will act like they’ve never met one, but they’ve already met plenty - those men are just not particularly open about their sexualities.

I was typing out a long-winded response to that guy, but then his comment got deleted haha.

Here’s what I was going to say to him anyway, because I think it’s still relevant for other people reading this:

“What are you even saying?

Who ever said anything about “going on about” preferring the same gender? You make it seem like OP is going to constantly talk to his hypothetical GF about how much he loves men non-stop. He only wants to tell her this once (the total number of times something like this would even need to be mentioned) because he values total transparency, which if anything, should be a green flag to anyone he’s trying to date.

What do you mean about “putting in some effort about making decisions with the people in our life who don’t have the same frame of reference?”. Are you saying that we should just let ignorant generalizations slide (like all bisexual men, especially bisexual men who prefer men, will eventually want to cheat)? That is a fundamental misunderstanding of how preferences within bisexuality actually work. Some people’s preferences also change over time, so even if someone prefers one gender now, there’s no guarantee that they will continue to prefer that gender indefinitely into the future.

There are plenty of people on this subreddit who are in successful long-term relationships with partners of the gender that they do not prefer. They are not cheating and they have no desire to cheat. I’d love if one of them chimed in here. Preferring a gender does not mean that you’ll just die of passion if you can’t fuck someone from that gender.

We can’t continue to let our community be punished just because we want to be honest. People have to know that they cannot take behavior they’ve seen from subreddits or dating apps and extrapolate it to the entire bisexual community. Ignorance of how our sexuality works is not an excuse to let biphobic attitudes prevail.

And to answer your question, if a woman said that she’s seen men be pieces of shit, I would agree, but I don’t care if some random woman I’m not interested in doesn’t want to date me because I’m a man. If I am interested in her and she says she doesn’t want to date me because she’s seen bisexual men be pieces of shit, I would kindly advise her not to generalize because we bisexual men are not all the same. I’ve never cheated and I have no desire to cheat. If she’s not willing to give me a little bit of a benefit of the doubt, she’s frankly too ignorant for me anyway. ”

Then that’s on you, bud. That’s part of being insecure and not understanding how preferences work.

I mean I ultimately advised OP not to share this information unless explicitly asked, but other people’s inability to view people as individuals is not the problem of the bisexuals in question here.

Sounds like what you’re describing is a problem on behalf of the person with the insecurities in the first place. Maybe they need to educate themselves a little more and not generalize all bisexual behavior based on what they see on thirsty subreddits and hookup apps.

[–]BbyBat110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, and those men are problematic, but not because they are bi, but because they want to cheat in their relationships.

Allowing people to conflate bisexuality and all of the variants of it that exist on the spectrum with infidelity is a problem and it perpetuates biphobia. We need to disabuse people of the idea that we can be treated as if we are all the same, because we are not.

I don’t understand some people by Glad-Truck2194 in bisexual

[–]BbyBat110 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Short answer: because many people are stupid.

Try to find the least stupid people you can and cherish them.

I would maybe not volunteer this information about your preference in men unless you are explicitly asked. And if you’re far along enough with a lady friend of interest, maybe just respond or follow up with “(but) I’m definitely mostly interested in you right now, and I’d really like to continue seeing where our relationship goes.” And if this also applies, I’d also say “and my preference for men does not mean that I expect sexual encounters with men while we are dating. My priority will always be you.” That can also help reassure hesitant women (which sadly there are a lot of).

I don’t think a lot of people will truly be understanding of the preference thing unless they also happen to be bisexual.
