How Do Your Straight Friends Treat You?

[RavenEye]

Hey all! So all of my straight friends treat me as something other than bisexual. My straight friends that are girls are usually like this: "I'm just gonna pretend that you're gay!" "OMG let's go shopping!" (So annoying!) Although they never ask me about their boobs. BOO! My straight guy friends are usually like this "I'm just gonna pretend you're straight." "Fuck Megan Fox is hot!" So my question is why can't straight people accept us as we are? I'm not gonna talk about the gender you're not attracted to around you. I ain't gonna try to hit on you! Does anyone else have these problems? It seems that I can only truly be accepted as myself as a whole around other bisexual people.

of course i have this problem. all my female friends think i'm checking them out simply because i like girls, and all my guys friends think i'm a slut simply because i like both genders. it's annoying and wrong. even my gay friends of both genders understand me being bi. trust me your not alone.

Well I am a lady. Mostly when people find out I am bi they assume I must want to do them and everyone else for that matter. Other girls will ask if I think they are attractive. The answer is usually no, because most of my friends aren't my type (henceforth why I am friends with them and not trying to get into their pants). They get butt-hurt if I say no, but creeped out if I say yes. Then I get a lot of questions of what it is like to be with another woman. Some think that I must want to leave my husband for a lady and I am a closeted lesbian.

The reaction from a life long male friend was pretty much as expected. "Oh. So, you're queer. All this time, you've probably wanted to fuck me, too!" Of course, I was not the slightest interested in him sexually. We were friends, brothers. He continued ragging on me as though I was some freakish queen. His wife on the other hand understood things a bit more and was more mature. Me and her flirted just to piss him off. and no, i wasn't interested in her, nor was she interested in me. We were just friends by extension, my friend's wife is my friend too. Never failed though to get his goat if I would say something like the following to her.

"Girl, you're so damn good I could eat you with a spoon. How about we ditch this idiot friend of ours and go have a roll in the hay?"

She of course would laugh, grin. Sometimes she would reply, "I might have to think about that."

Straight women friends seem to treat me as queer too. I'm instantly 'the safe guy' because of being queer. Don't mind it so much. But another reason I'm safe around women, have one who threatens castration with a butter knife if I ever am found with another woman in a compromising situation.

She need not worry though. She is the only woman I will ever want or need. I still have erotic dreams concerning her, and masturbate while fantisizing of her. Been twelve years, I've seen some other attractive women and don't deny that. But she's the only one that is in my dreams.

Quit hanging out with straight women who want to pretend that you're now their personal fag hag. ;) My husband and I have straight friends both men and women and they don't treat us as though we're gay or straight since we're not, and they're our friends. If these people are your actual friends your sexuality shouldn't be an issue to them like it is for the people who you described. Yes a lot of straight people actually do understand bisexuality, and do accept us bisexuals.

Honestly, I haven't talked much about it in public. Most people haven't brought up their perceptions to me, altho I realize to many of them I'm hardly the straightest guy they know.

The being attracted to everyone part would make me laugh personally, because that's nowhere near the truth about me. I'd probably talk about it more if I knew less people who were so old-fashioned about non-heterosexuality.
