Hi all :)

This is my first post, and first day on the site, and I'm SO glad I found it. :) Being the only bi guy I know, it's nice to not be alone.

I was wondering, from both genders, do you find that being bi causes issues, both in the gay and straight communities? I've some wonderful friends, both gay and straight, but get teased a fair bit about being bi, and feel a little isolated at times, and worry that being bi and open about carries a certain social stigma. Any thoughts from other men/women who are out of the closet?

Let me be the first to say welcome, I'm new by a week or so and I really like the variety of people and opinions here...its a really open place.

I think in many ways being bisexual can be more difficult than having a clearly defined sexuality just because we don't fit easily into any one catagory. Gay people don't understand and neither do straight people...but places like this are making it a little easier. Hope you like it here.

Hi and Welcome!!!

Hello and wilkommen. For me, being bi means being largely solitary. I'm used to it but it still agitates the hell out of me.

I don't find that being myself causes issues with either my heterosexual friends or my gay friends. I've found that a lot of het and gay people have questions about bisexuality and I don't mind answering them. I don't really find any question to be offensive and I don't care if people don't get being queer and think that I'm gay.

I don't mind being called a fence sitter or a switch hitter and it's all in good fun and I'll tease my hetero friends and call them breeders or tease my gay friends about having the football gene or the design gene.

I don't really feel that isolated since I have bisexual friends and I date people who are bisexual. I did try going to a bisexual discussion group meeting but I found it to be very small, VERY cliquey, and way too political. I just went to meet people and make friends, and not find sex partners and let's just say it was VERY cruisy there. I don't mind being considered handsome but if people really wanted to flirt/cruise I think that they should have just went to a bar or gone online and not done it at a discussion group.

Hi Metro28, I hope you find this site as nice & friendly as I do.

I`ve not really had any problems off my friends - just friendly banter which I`ve given back to them. I`ve had 1 or 2 say I should be either gay or straight but I just tell them I`m bi - get used to it. :bipride:
