quirks? what do you mean?

i know what you mean, i think its just guy get guys better than girls and vis versa so the quirks dont seem as odd.

Quirks being the things that give a person their individuality. We all have our things . . .

I'm not sure I agree due to my experience. I am with both a male and a female right now and she hates my little quirks way more than they ever bothered him. Maybe it's just her though. Nice to meet you.

Actually men (unless bi or sometimes gay) seem to hate me. They dont get me at all but women are much more.......open and accepting toward me.

when it comes to same sex relationships, i have began to wonder about heterosexaul relationships. i mean, how could a male and female really work? they couldnot possibly have as much in common as a homosexaul couple.
Not saying that is always the case but it is food for thought....
additionally, there are plenty of hetrosexaul relationships that are great so EVERYONE who feels complled to crucify me for that, please refrain....

As for your discussion topic, indeed,,, i think same sex couples are more accepting of thier partners "quirks"

=)

Well, I still find it entertaining that the current divorce rate for heterosexual couples hovers around fifty percent, where as where marriage and / or civil unions legal, the rates are signifigantly lower. . . . . BTW, pleasure meeting you too w061204!!!!!

yeah i agree, but i think thats just cuz they may understand it better.

I have noticed that being Bisexual you are not always understood or accepted by both the straight community and gay community because they are both only attracted to one sex so being attracted to both is a very foreign concept to them. I have been with both a straight man and a Lesbian woman and they both admitted this to me. My ex actually thought that there was no such thing as Bisexuality until she met me and she tried to convince me that I was just in transition to being a Lesbian. I told her that she was sadly mistaken and that I wasn't going to wake up one day and lose my attraction to Men. Although I know that may actually happen to some people I know that for me I am Bi forever its not a phase or confusion just like how I know I will probably love coffee and chocolate until the day I die. I think I will always love men and women. Back to what was being discussed. I find that being with someone of the same sex they often understand you better because they are designed the same way that you are. I know being a woman my girlfriend gets me some times in ways that my husband doesn't even begin to understand. I also know that some times the support and understanding that is extended to me from my husband far exceeds that of my girlfriend at times. For some reason my husband can be more protective and delicate with me in a way that a women hasn't been. Kind of like the protective gentle way that my Father expressed love for me as his little girl. I don't know if you all understand what I am trying to say but my Father was very protective of me and although he was big and tall and powerful he knew that and he had a way of treating me like I was as soft and fragile as a flower at times. It always amazed me how a big man like my Father who clearly was capable of taking on even the toughest enemy could be so sweet and gentle with with me even when he was angry with me.My man has that special way of treating me although he is clearly not my Father. My girlfriend has special ways and things about her to she can be nurturing and protective to in the way a Mother would but she is clearly not my Mother. She knows what it is like to be a woman. What a woman wants and how a woman thinks and feels in a way that my man will never understand.

Interesting comment art4life. I was listening to Michalangelo Signereli's show on Serius / XM Friday and several callers began debating a hatred if you will towards the Bi Community saying that we are just individuals too scared to commit to being gay. Well, for me at least, that's not it at all, I am truly attracted to both sexes because I see beyond gender. I'm not saying that all Gay and Lesbian individuals are offended by Bisexuals, but there are several out there.

I think it's a hold-over, evolutionarily speaking, from the we/not-we mentality that was necessary for survival in cave-man days, and before, which is why, for example, we are decended from Cro-magnon man, not neanderthals.

In short, if you're not like me, i distrust you. This is the source of things like racism, and further demonstration of why, in a recent study, it shows that liberals and monogamists have higher IQs. Higher IQs is the next evolutionary step, & those intolerant are, evolutionarily speaking, on their way out.

as Noam chomsky once said, single-issue voters, ie someone who will vote for a candidate they disagree with because they agree with one issue, like anti-gay or anti-abortion, is a sure sign of a death rattle, the sign that they are on their way "out"

remember, all progress meets violent opposition. It is only a matter of time before we all recognize that we are all, to some extent, bisexual.

even the straightest of men can admit that for example pierce brosnan is a handsome man. That is, to a very small degree, bisexuality. When people begin to accept that bisexuality is a natural state that occurs in 1500 species & counting, & that we don't have to be offended by a simple acknowledgement that we are all to varying degrees attracted to both genders, that true social progress can begin.

We bisexuals vary so much. For example, same sex turns me on, but dating or falling in love with my gender is out of the question. I'm just not wired that way. Whereas, many bisexuals change genders with each relationship. It's all just part of the spectrum.

sounds like the kinsey scale

No, the Kinsey scale only rates sexuality, & then only on a 1-6 scale: WAY too limiting.
My scale is: sexuality 1-10, then romance 1-10, 1 being hetero, 10 homosexual..
I'm a S 5, R 1
i think it's more real-world than Kinsey.

I am still a 5 on both. Been with both men and women...........yeah I am one of those.............lol.
Right now more into women cause I was with a man for past 10 years.............but men will always get me off. So........yeah. I like both equally and can have sex with either and a relationship with either..............or both. :)

being bisexual, i have caught hell from a few complety gay people

it's like they cant accept the fact that you happen to entertain the thought of going either way.

regardless of who we choose to love, there will always be haters.
