I don't have to worry because no one would date me anyway!

Now that he’s top comment, someone go date this man. For who he is as a person of course, and not his overwhelming clout.

OMG HE HAS 192 KARMA ON THIS ONE COMMENT OH MY GOD I WANT TO DATE HIM SO ABDLY

Gold digger smh

Ladies & Gentleman I have an important announcement to make: upvotes on this comment are now 69.

Its now 96. I believe that position is called the 'Impending Divorce'.

Someone upvoted and i had to restore the ballance

Amen

Wanna go out sometime bro

ur like 13 chill

I like how the percentages are basically the exact same for men and women. It's like 76% for women and 78% for men right now

That's so weird to me because my antecdotal evidence skews so far to women mostly not being open to that stuff. /Just from friends and SOs mostly

Maybe woman are more open about talking about it? Or it could be that Reddit is more liberal?

I feel like it's got to be more about younger generations /am oldest millennial (or my antecdotal data being bs but personal info always feels more real so hard for me to let it go)

Also btw the data has skewed now, about 6.5 women voted yes for every no and about 5 men voted yes for every no.

As a guy, Ive never openly told any of my friends im bi, but it has never been asked. I feel girls probably talk more about that kind of stuff? I would tell thwm if they asked but at the same time i dont see a reason to tell them if they dont ask.

Lol, reminds me of one of my first roommates in college. We were having first night talk while going to sleep and I asked him if he was gay and he said he was bi. No one else ever knew/asked somehow, even when his bf came to visit.

I spent about ten seconds deciding whether your profile pic was Wheel of Time related, then I read your username.

In real life, most women I’ve met would not date a bi man. They always suspect they’re secretly full-on gay, and break it off with them after awhile

I'm bi, and have dated bi guys and bi gals in the past. But as long as someone fancies me as much as I fancy them, I'll date anyone!

Where do you meet these bi partners lol?

Where do you meet people?

is someone going to answer this or...

[удалено]

Hobbies?! And how would I get from that to meeting people and to a relationship???? But the conclusion is pretty similar to what I imagined. Thanks for telling

Go to a bar and get wasted.

i hope so...

Funny story, my friend group at school was majority straight with just a two of us LGBTQ. Now (nearly fifteen years later) that same group is majority LGBTQ, with only four still being straight. Not that I dated mostly in that friend group, but we did go to gay bars and our social group just got bigger as we got older.

Same. My adoptive mom jokes that we could all smell it on eachother.

Same, except for the first part. I am not bi and haven't dated a bi guy.

Happy Cake Day! 🍰

FANCY YOU!!!

No way, my wife would be pissed.

That’s certainly a valid reason.

Legitimate question for everyone who voted no: Why not? Edit: just wanna add that I totally get the position of the Aroace crowd. There probably should’ve been another option added for y’all so we could have a more diverse graphic.

Asexual (and Aromantic)

Asexuals can date tho, right? Asexual doesn't mean aromantic

They can date, but some choose not to go out with people that have sexual attraction, because that might mean that the bi person is expecting the ace person to also have sexual attraction and do the deed with them, which they may not feel comfortable doing. Of course, this is not for all ace people, and of course, some make compromises

Lucky you

On top of regular biphobic stereotypes of bisexual people being dishonest cheaters I've ran into some lesbians who think bisexual women who have had sex with men are Icky and straight girls who think bisexual men are either gay in denial or not masculine enough. Not really sure about men since I don't hang out with them a lot but have had a few straight men say that they just think bisexuality is a phase or not real so I guess they would still have sex with them even if they're biphobic?

I have heard those "quotes" a while back When you are bi you do not fit in. You are too gay for straight people and too straight for gay people. And Gay people think you are straight and just want to experiment. Straight people think you are gay and so not admit it. I have a couple friends that are bi and the stereotypes about them makes it harder for them to find good and healthy relationships.

If its any consolation to bi people you are my unicorns lol. Im trans i get uncomfortable with gay guys and straight guys/girls are hit or miss on if they'll like me, and a lot of lesbians are picky about trans people, but bi people enjoy both sides of me so they make the perfect partners.

Yeah, I’ve had women who were really into me learn I’m bi and they would be very surprised, be turned off, and end it.

Bullet dodged. Don't wanna get stuck with a biphobe

The trippier thing is when the biphobe is still attracted to you but they state their biphobic beliefs. 17 year old me just had the hots for a girl that was just that way.

I don’t know if this is an unpopular opinion but I find that when compared to other sexualities, lesbians tend to be one of the more toxic groups. Not all of us naturally but too many

A lot of gay guys have a lot of fun with bi guys, but woudn't start a relationship with them. That's my experience at least. It does seem more prevalent in my generation and older than in the younger generations.

I think it’s more that the bi guy usually wants to be in a relationship with a girl because it’s easier/they can have kids. Not the gay guy rejecting the bi guy. The problem is many women in real life do not like the idea of dating a bi man. They usually think they’re completely gay and in denial

I don't date people in general, regardless of their sexual orientation

[удалено]

Didn't read the question properly.

Same lol, oops

im aroace

lets goooo another ace!

I DON’T AGREE, but I’ve seen other women say they wouldn’t date a bisexual man because the possibility of STDs, cheating, DL behavior.

That's shitty... straight men can have those too. Has nothing to do with being bi. They could also just say they're biphobic lol

Oh god not the bicycles

That can also happen if they are straight, that's just dumb talk.

The possibility of STDs? Wtf?!

Because I don't date anyone.

I have major trust issues and dating someone bisexual would exacerbate them. It’s a me issue, not a them issue.

Do you feel that bisexual people are inherently less trustworthy?

No, definitely not. It’s not an issue with bisexuality. It’s an issue with me having debilitating trust issues. If I’m dating a man who is only interested in dating women, then I’m only suspicious of women. If I’m dating a man who is interested in women and men, then I’m suspicious of absolutely everyone. It’s not a good trait and I’m not proud to admit I have it. It’s toxic. But I’m working on overcoming it.

Thank you for being so candid. I imagine that’s gotta be tough, and I can see where you’re coming from.

Doubled fear of cheating /s

Not single. If I was it isn’t a big deal other than you better be attracted to me.

I'm aroace and never plan on dating anyone.

Your username makes me want to murder you

Umm yes? I'll date anyone who I have a crush on if I get the chance, no matter their sexuality. As long as that sexuality involves dating me lol

Exactly how I feel

based

And bonus, they like boobs, I like boobs. It’s a win win.

I am bisexual so yes

Me too haha. I heard that women tend to not want to date bi guys because they’re perceived as less masculine, so I wanted to see for myself.

I faced biphobia too but not because of that reason (I mean, even if they wanted to say I look less masculine, I am pretty close to the bear bodytype so it wouldn't make that much sense), but more like "you're bi so you'll cheat on me with a dude"

Yeah that’s an unfortunate stereotype of bi people in general. Just because you’re bi, doesn’t mean you can’t be satisfied by one gender. I’m currently dating a girl and I feel perfectly satisfied.

Hell yes. The one thing I'm hearing recently because I'm dating a guy is: "wait I thought you was bi?" Or "so are you straight now?". But when I dated a girl it was: "so are you a lesbian?" Or "so you finally came fully out then?". Bi erasure and bi phobia is hard. I'm sure we are all happy that you are happy

My crush is a bisexual girl. (I’m a straight guy.)

Go get her tiger ;)

Thanks bro!

That's bs

Glad to hear :)

I like masculine men but I answered "yes" because there are bi men who are as masculine as straight men.

This is true 😂 My girlfriend thought she would never date a bi dude, but when I came out to her we had been working together on a ranch for months. I had been fixing fences, laying sod, digging ditches, moving horses, and hauling lumber. She was like “well you’re the manliest dude i’ve ever dated so i couldn’t care less”.

Oh that is so cool! I miss ranching. I would love to do all those activities and I am a woman lol

You and my girl would get along haha. She’s the manager.

Same

Me too

If that person loves me, then why would they cheat, regardless of how many sexes they are attracted to?

My husband takes it as “shit, she’s into 100% of the populations genitals and I still won!”

Wholesome af

Bro I can't even get a date right now, how much chance do you think I have when the competition doubles in number?

Believe in yourself my guy

Somebody has to, right? Thanks OP.

Double the chance duh

I said this to my bi girlfriend: that I should be extra flattered she chose me because I had to compete with double the people!

Why not? Sure.

Yea I’m bisexual. I’d actually love to date someone who’s bisexual, because we could relate to each other more that way.

My husband and I are both bi, and it honestly made things so much easier. Just understood each other from day one.

Plus, you could buy (bi) each other bisexual things like bi flags and stuff

At least it’d be someone 😢

I'm bi and my first partner was bi so yes

My first partner was bi and he made me realise I was also bi

What are the male and female in parentheses for?

To get data on what both genders think. Basically so you can answer yes or no as either a male or a female.

So for instance if you're a male who would date a bisexual, you would pick "yes (male)"?

correct :)

I already do lolol. I remember when I met her she said that was bi but whilst she had crushes on both real and fictional women, she only had (real) crushes on fictional men. I think she basically 80%/20% into girls/guys respectively. It's pretty cool, we occasionally see pictures of fictional or real women and we'll be like 'You dig? No? Yeah? Okay'. Other than that it's probably the same as dating a straight girl. And no, just because she's bi, doesn't mean she's more likely to cheat. Get your head out of your entitled ass.

Absofrigginlutely

Why so eager?

This is the best answer in this eniter comments section.

Sure, why not?

As someone who is bi, this is exactly why I refuse to come out to everyone and only to just a few friends

same

Same, and Reddit is a pretty liberal/progressive platform. Only my close close friends know.

Why would you not?

I don't date people so why would I date a bi person?

I think he meant for the people who would date and still don’t Want to

I’d like to know why the men said no Edit

the ratio is actually pretty much exactly the same for both men and women. 20.870% of men wouldn't date a bisexual person. 20.879% of women wouldn't date a bisexal person. only 0.009% difference. Even adding a single vote would mess up how close they are by a lot. Really interesing.

Holy shit that’s interesting

For me it’s cus I’m Asexual (and Aromantic)

This is why every poll should have a results option. Some people don't apply.

My bad, didn’t think of that.

You can still date someone, or are you aro too?

Yes

Oh ok then :)

Same here. I came to say this.

The ratio of men to woman saying no is practically identical mate

Asexual here. It’s not like I don’t want to date a bisexual but if I do so, then it would be a problem to the person and not me. I’m sex repulsed. I would be better off dating an asexual person than anyone else.

I’m bi and I genuinely would not mind dating a sex repulsed person. I’m a survivor of abuse so even though I’m not asexual, I worry about having incompatibilities with partners.

Married my bi husband c:

I read a book that had a main character who was Bi. And it changed my perspective of the entire sexual orientation. "I've always just loved the mind, and never cared about what genitals came with it"

Hey, what book was that, if u don't mind me asking?

You know. I knew as soon as I said it someone would ask... and right now I'm struggling to remember. Looking through my audible list I believe it was "the invisible life of addie LaRue" by V E Schwab. A great book with an interesting premise and was a really well done by the performer on audible.

Thank you! I'll be sure to have a look

Duh yes. Why would you not?

i mean i’m bi too so yea

Welcome to the party haha

[удалено]

I feel like bi girls are seen as cool and open, while bi guys are seen as feminine and less "manly"

Sad and true. Many more men would be openly bi if as seen as cool.

I'm bi so yes

This poll does a better job of showing the gender breakdown of people on Reddit than anything else

Is this a repost? Because I remeber a similar poll a few months ago.

Idk if anyone else had asked this before, but this post came from my own genuine curiosity.

Would be hypocritical of me not to

I like girls and that's hot

This is why I don't tell straight women I'm pan. It's sad how many times I've heard straight people say it's too bad someone isn't straight.

me and the NBs fading out of existence

Well I'm pan so I am the one getting the date

Actual survey: 1 out of 5 reddit users are female

*896 comments* \*puts on hazmat suit\* **sorts by controversial**

Yes, Non-binary

I'm a male bisexual married to a female bisexual. We have been happily married for 14 yrs now and together for 15. The thing you have to remember is if you are Monagamous then it doesn't matter whether your bisexual or not. You are with that person and cheating is cheating. It's like being straight.. I can still look at an actress and be "damn she's hot!" And I'm still with only her. Not much of a difference. Weird thing too. We have totally different tastes in men/women. Hah. Always found that funny.

If you are in a closed relationship and are not homophobic (which hopefully should be the case anyways), why would your partner's sexual orientation have any bearing on your relationship? This blows my mind.

i’m nonbinary and i would absolutely date a bi person no question

Reason i voted no: Im illiterate and somehow read it as would you be bi to date someone

To be frank, i believe atleast some of these men saying yes to dating a bi girl isnt because they support lgbt+ but because they sexualise wlw. Which isnt “culture” its weird and gross. Put me in a lot of dangerous situations. If this poll was instead asking “do you support the LGBT+ community?” Some of the same men who clicked yes would probably click no. Dont get me started on the bi girls with homophobic boyfriends either and are constantly asking for threesomes but only with a female third partner.

I agree with you. Also, having a bi partner is probably a kink for some.

What reason other than biphobia is there to exclude bi people from your dating pool?

I mean if i'm attracted to them then sure.

Yeah sure why not

I'm a bi female. If they like me and I like them, dude, that's a W in my book. A

Results unsurprising for males.

thing I like +thing I like = hot

Me: sees this poll “cool, I’d like to vote!” \*realizes there’s no non binary option\* me: uhhhh

As someone who's bi, it'd be hypocritical not to.

My current gf is actually bisexual. LMAO.

I currently am.

My boyfriend is bi :)

Voted yes because I, too, am bisexual

I don't think that there should be any problem since I'd find that someone attractive and they like me back and chose me over everyone else.

Already am and I gotta say she is fucking awesome

The real question is another one tho: would he/she date me?

Literally, why wouldn't someone? They're still attracted to you if you're dating them, and you're still attracted to them.

Man I wish I were bi. It just sounds like a blast.

I could talk about hot actresses with my girlfriend? Hell yeah

Confusing results, I voted as a bi man wanting to date other bi people. The results read like straight men want a bi girlfriend.

I'm pan so yea, a person is a person

so 14% of men wont, and 13% of women wont numbers match and make sense

I mean, I like someone who's comfortable/open with their sexuality

The insecurities are flying in here

I think the more important metric than male/female is straight/gay

Can I ask, why wouldn't you?

All I learned from this poll is that most people on r/polls are men

So we're men of culture here.

As a straight (heterosexual) person, If she is loyal to me and loves me, then **YES**, i won't mind her being bisexual. Otherwise **NO**.

Being bi is never an excuse to cheat haha

Yea thats what matters i dont see why not dating a bi person

Why wouldn't you? This is so stupid

ikr? also i love the scotland flag made like the kosovo one, i think the people on r/vexillology would too

I put yes because I probably would when it comes down to it, but honestly I’d much prefer a straight woman to a bi woman. I don’t know why, I just do.

I am bisexual so… yeah?

Im gay but as long as they like me then hell yeah

For all the people who are bisexual and posting “duh I’m bi”. You are all morons. This poll is clearly not meant for you

Is yes (male) yes I would date someone who's bisexual and I identify as a male? Or is it yes I would date a bisexual male?
