What is the bisexual lifestyle like?

What is my life like? Pretty boring honestly.

There is some oppressive sh*t that you have to deal with, and it sucks that it comes from both sides. When I told me ex boyfriend I was bi, he called me a whore and we don't speak anymore (we were very friendly after the break up and shared a lot of mutual friends so this was a big loss). He came from a VERY fundie family, so this was a hugh shock to him. My parents assumed I would never have children. People whom I expressly told I was bi would call me a lesbian, joke that I was a lesbian, or tell others that I was a lesbian. A little good natured ribbing is fine, but at some point you have to wonder if that isn't some repressive biphoibic thing rearing its head right there. Men I don't know are the WORST. They will not hesitate to harass me and my girlfriend on the street for wearing a pride pin or holding hands, and if they see us dancing or kissing at a straight bar, forget about it. They will be all over us, propositioning us for sex, groping, grabbing, and when you blow them off, they get angry and rude. That really is the worst part for me.

From gay folks the reaction is mixed. Older gay people really don't "get" it, but they're usually not rude about it to my face. They grew up in a binary world where gay was gay and straight was straight and ne'er the two shall meet, so I can forgive them as long as they're not mean about it. One of the interesting things about being bi is that everyone tells you about their little bi moments -- including gay people. Two of the most popular most active most effeminate gay guys on campus made it a point to tell me that they actually think they're more bi, they just don't want to be open about it because they would loose face. Around campus, gay folks are almost uniformly polite to my face, but we're a small batch and word gets around, so I know some of them (lesbians in particular) have been saying that I was just a straight girl who was curious and trendy... that ended when I got a serious girlfriend (2 years). Again, some people make comments about how my girlfriend and I are lesbians or call us a lesbian couple or talk about a lesbian marriage -- even though neither of us is a lesbian. It's kinda weird, sometimes there is just not another good word or phrase that fits, sometimes it feels like this passive agressiveness because they don't believe that you're bi anymore since you're with a girl.

Otherwise, I live a painfully normal life. I go to school, I have a cat, an apartment, friends. I go out, I stay in. I visit my family. I shower and eat and breathe and all that jazz. Other then a few isolated occurances and relationships and patterns, being bi doesn't affect 90% of my life.

I'm a little puzzled by use of the term "lifestyle". Lifestyle is about what sort of clothes you wear, where you vacation, what your hobbies are ... you know, what sort of consumer you are. Would you be able to describe a heterosexual lifestyle? A Lutheran lifestyle? A Nebraskan lifestyle?

But bi-sexuality simply means being attracted to both men and women, not necessarily equally.

It means u r attracted to both sexes. And i love and hate being bi. Like want minute i want to be with a guy. the next i want to be with a girl. Like i see myself with a guy, and we get married and have kids. but they next day I'll see myself ending up with a girl, getting married and adopting kids. And it's hard. When Ur just gay, u no Ur going to end up with a guy,( if Ur a man) and a girl ( if u are a girl). When Ur bi, u never really know. it changes all the time. I've been with several girls and guys. and i find that girls tend to be more affectionate than guys. But i would feel safer with a guy, knowing he could protect me. But then again there are alot of guys out there that are jerks. And only want sex. But on the other hand, there are some nice guys out there. U get my point. It's like Ur always changing which on u want to be with.

I´m bi, and it´s normal, I mean, you had felt envloved sometime, rigth?, so it´s the same, the only diference it´s you can felt enloved with a man or a woman, and with who am I related?, well I think both,I don´t care about what people think about it, I just live my live the way I like

a individual can like those with the two black hair and brown hair and marry a individual with black hair. that is a similar element. specific, there are some issues which you will pass over being with one gender over the different, yet that doesn't actual remember. A immediately woman would desire to marry a guy with green eyes and pass over brown-eyed adult adult males, yet it would desire to not end her from marrying the guy, that is basically something you adjust to.

Having Homosexual amd Heterosexual realtions.

It's hell. Gay people don't take you seriously and straight people think you're doing it for the sex

They get turned on by both. And they get a little more variety in their life!

Definitely busy, and, alot of fun.

i thnk it is really have no prefrence what so ever. Youlike both men and women and you just date who you are attracted to regualess of what sex they are.
