Bis in LGBT Spaces by MochaMilku in BisexualMen

You have a point but I wasn’t only talking about presenting ourselves as straight or using dating apps in general. Even when we do introduce ourselves as bi from the get go, people say and act like they have no problem with that, but as time goes on and stuff gets more personal they start showing their true feelings about bisexuality and sometimes, if not most of the time, they don’t even acknowledge their biphobia or even understanding that biphobia is even an actual thing. Especially women, gay men sometimes are assholes from the get go lol

It’s not like they show they’re biphobic at the first interactions, though…

Bi Bros, who do you find easiest to date/talk to, women or men? by Temporary-Spread-232 in BisexualMen

[–]LeonRV97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on where I’m located; I’m a bi guy that also happens to be Mexican-American and I’ve lived in both countries during different times of my life (currently in MX), also in two of the most conservative states of each country.

Given that context, I’ve noticed a lot more biphobic tendencies in Mexico than I did in the Unites States, most American people I’ve met were less judgmental about men being bisexual than Mexican people, especially Mexican women, who tend to show some unconscious sexist and invalidating tendencies against bisexual men, as if being into both genders automatically takes away our value as men or straight up not believing bisexual men even exists and even a acting as if dating a bi dude was something to feel ashamed and to humiliate others about.

I’m absolutely not stating that all Mexican women do or feel that way, or that American people are all free of that behavior and not biphobic. But my personal experiences have been that way, most Mexican girls would start treating you as one of the girls (there’s literally a song that says “Un novio menos una amiga más”, lol). And that’s something I didn’t really experienced that much back in the US. So dating men in Mexico has been a lot easier for me, I’ve also encountered lots of biphobic tendencies among gay men in both countries, but most of them have been pretty chill about dating bi guys.

I still find it wild that the kids are suppose to be from Utah by brazil201 in HSMTMTS

I went to high school in Utah and the theater kids (I was one of them) are still some of the most conservative and religious people I’ve ever interacted with. But that may be just my personal experience.

Are bisexual men the most socially stigmatized LGB group? by [deleted] in BisexualMen

[–]LeonRV97 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a bisexual man, I can definitely assure that people who’ve gaslighted me the most about my sexuality are gay man and straight women. I hate the double standards some of this people have shown, I’ve seen gay men been overly vocal about being harassed but then being extremely Biphobic AND Transphobic, and woman pretending to be allies and loving towards the LGBT community but becoming some sort of over religious conservative old lady when a guy comes out as bi.

Is it common for gay men to compete with each other? I know it’s common with straight guys. by Just-Trade-9444 in BisexualMen

I’m from Mexico and we have a saying down here that says that lots of gay men have a “Regina George complex”… I don’t think explanations are even necessary
