Lol, You're not Bi.
So, the senario is that 1 woman says, "I think I'm Bi. I like girls. I've had a few girlfriends but never went all the way. Sexually, I like guys"
The other woman says "Lol you're not Bi" The intention is - There is a possibility to have "girl crushes" and "guy crushes" for those people that would look..very appealing. Nice looking people. Example - you're a girl and you LOVE everything about Madonna (or some female star). Even claim that you would "go les" for her." (Yet, you're normal preference are males) How would one classify someone as bisexual? (ie: to love both sexes equally? Or 1 over the other?) Basically, I'm trying to get more of an understanding of how Bisexuality works. I have friends who claim to be Bi, but I know of backstories where they couldn't get guys to love them , so they try girls (but they still like guys) |
Personally I feel that if you'd get in bed with and/or romanticly be with both genders your bisexual.
Although most would say that the first one is required. |
I think if you like both genders, not including stars, then you are bisexual. If you like your best friend and would romantically be with her, or some other normal girl, and do the same to a normal guy, then that would be bisexual. I'm bisexual, I'd sleep with either gender to put it honestly. Obviously, not when I have someone, but that is how I see it.

Personally, the way I see it, anything but a 0, 6, or x on the Kinsey Scale qualifies. And most likely, I would imagine that makes damn near everyone bi.
For instance, I would rank myself at a 2 (though sometimes I'll end up a 3 or 4 if I'm going through a period of prolonged stress; I'm not entirely sure why, but I think it's related to my hormone problem). Under normal circumstances, I do prefer guys, though it's not just once in a while that I'll look at a girl and feel something. Sometimes I have a difficult time imagining myself in a physical relationship with a girl...but that's because...well, I'm not particularly creative in that way, but the fact is that I can see it. I prefer not to identify as bisexual, though, just because of the negative stereotypes that come with it. I prefer to just say that I could be happy with either a man or a woman. But the fact remains, for this particular purpose, I would say I do qualify...as do most people in the world, whether they like it or not. |
My definition of bisexuality is when you're naturally drawn to have romantic AND sexual relationships with BOTH genders all though you may prefer one over the other.
It should be noted that just because a girl sleeps around with or dates girls, it doesn't mean she's not straight. It's when there is a natural desire to BE with them. If a girl is just like "whatever, I don't like them but I'll sleep with them for fun", it doesn't count. |

In my opinion, you've got to be open to either gender all the time, not just when you feel like one is blowing you off. Its so hard to genuinely define something like sexuality, so it really just depends on your background and the way you see it. I dont think anyone can really know unless they're mature enough though, i've seen so many teens that just say they're bi/lesbian in front of guys so they'll like them more (or something).

I think bisexuality is having very little preference between males and females both romantically and sexually. If you like your own sex noticably more, I'd say you were gay. If you like the oppopsite more, straight.
I don't think someone is bisexual if they're trying to be cool, experimenting, or if they just happen to find someone of the same gender attractive. A few people I know say they're bi because they think it looks better than being gay. I personally believe I am straight because while I find several females attractive, I do not think I would enjoy a sexual or romantic relationship with a female. |
Well, it really all depends on the person.
You can't tell anyone what sexuality they are. So the only way you can tell what sexuality someone is, is if they tell you. Basically, don't judge someone on your own point of view, but on what they believe. If they believe they are bisexual, that is their choice, leave it at that. |
Alright lets take this from a bi persons point of view. I feel that to be bi is an fairly equal pull towards both sides though you can have a slight pull towards one side or the other. Lets take me as an example cause its the easiest one to pull up. I feel the same way towards males as I do towards females. I have had both serious relationships with males as I have with females. I did in the end end up with a my husband but it doesn't mean I am straight...I valued him as a person reguardless of his gender...I would have been by his side forever even if he was a female....and he feels the same way....

I personally think being bisexual is having a normal physical/mental relationship with both sexes.
Just thinking someone is appealing really doesn't mean much. I can easily go around saying "That girl is hot/attractive looking" without feeling uncomfortable. But that doesn't make me bisexual because I don't see the female sex that way, because I prefer males, making me straight. |
I think all women are in a way "bi". What women does not look at another women and think to herself "gee I wish I had her hair or eyes or so on." There's also a thing called bi curious which is basically a non practicing bi someone that likes how the same sex looks but wouldn't go any farther then looking.

Love knows no gender. As other people have said open-mindedness is key. Don't worry about classifying your sexual preference. Just be you and if you aren't opposed to having an honest relationship with either gender then all the better for you. :3
|
I think bisexuality is having both romantic and physical feelings for both genders. But that's my own opinion.
|
Personally I believe only the person can know and it cant be explained. If you know you have a crush on someone (and not just looking up to the person) then you have to decide what the crush means. {If you have a crush on a girl, you have to figure out if it is a crush or just admiration)
But really forget about all these classifications. If you are a girl and you like a girl, you are just different i guess. This is why I respect people who say they are pansexual. |

That would be more like...being envious maybe :o or along the lines of that |
Yeah I think in a way every girl is bi, I mean basicly every girl has kissed another girl at some point even in a dare and not really minded.
As for me I am really bi I have dated both guys and girls and loved them both equly. but every girl at some point in there life questions there sexuality and sometimes finds another road...so there is no real way to describe it except say that everyone is a little bi at least. |
What would you call a person that is straight but falls for one of their friends of the same gender then? I consider myself straight, but I have had a romantic relationship with one of my best friends that also happens to be female. I think you are what you see yourself to be. If she says she's bi then she's bi. If I say I'm straight then I'm straight.

im bisexual but i still have a main prefference to girls, its like a 55% girls 45% boys sorta thing id say its having both feelings for both sexes
|
If you're sexually aroused by/interested in members of both genders, you are bisexual. You can be a man with romantic feelings for another man and, as long as you're not interested in being with that other man sexually, you're still "straight." Likewise, you can be a man in love with a woman and still be gay. Romantic feelings and sexual desires are not synonymous with one another. Preference is irrelevant in this case. You can be "bi, leaning towards women" and still just classify yourself as bisexual. You don't have to think in the whole "I'm leaning towards x" mindset. |
I think if you've always had attractions to someone of the same sex and the opposite, it makes you bi. I don't know, I'm just giving my opinion. I don't really know what exactly makes a person classified as bisexual. Sometimes it's hard to classify what an actual attraction to someone of the same sex is really like. Maybe if you have sexual feelings towards someone of the same sex that means it too.
I think it's a little odd to say "I'm straight yet I daydream about people of the same sex", so I suppose that's how I see someone as bi too. It sounds like a bunch of sexual preference confusion really. XD |
I really think how you label your or other people's sexual identity is unimportant. The only thing that lends this significance is that society likes tucking us each into our own cute little labeled box.
Leave it up to the individual to decide for themselves if they even want a label. I'm personally satisfied just being human and sexual and allowing my desires to sort themselves out. Realistically you can call yourself straight and be a virgin and have never fooled around with a person of the opposite sex so, I would assume the same for bi, hetero etc people. I really don't think that sex acts and bodies define desire or lack there of. |
I honestly hate the label 'bisexual.' It's so very vague.
I find it hard to believe that anyone is 100% straight or gay, which technically makes EVERYONE bisexual. I have a moderate sexual interest in women... but I'm straight. Fuzzy lines! I prefer to think of bisexual people as those who simply like people regardless of gender. If you can have a relationship with a woman then turn around and have a relationship with a man and think of them the same way, then you're bi. |
I think to be bi you would have to at least have a real sexual desire for both genders, even if you never actually have a sexual relationship with one or the other.
What I don't understand is why does everyone assume automatically or (state it like an assumption anyways) that when a girl who has had an established sexual history with men decides to go with a girl she is suddenly "lesbian" rather than bi? Or a guy who is metro but has a girlfriend, why is it assumed that he is "gay" (never bi, but gay) and hiding it via the girlfriend? What if he is only metro sexual or really is bi rather than a closet gay? It irks me when people make assumptions like that. Sorry it's a bit off-topic. |
I'm of the belief that everyone is bi. If you find one person of each gender who you find sexually and emotionally attractive then you are bi, even just one. Very few people are completely 50/50 liking guys as much as girls they usually swing one way or the other but personally I think there are even less people who are 100% straight or 100% gay, there is usually someone out there who they could still be attracted to or whatever if they find them. just my 2 cents though.
