How many bisexuals out there are conflicted with which direction to turn for long term happiness?

I don't look for the sex of the person, I look for the person. You have to find someone who will understand your sexual needs. They can be expressed through movies, pics, or whatever. I am newly single. I have a ton of friends. I am currently write my "job description" for my next relationship. It is a long process of figuring out what you like in a person and what makes you happy.

First recognise the kind of bisexual you are.

Does the variation in sexual practices, play a part in managing your libido (gender difference)?

Is it emotional fulfilment you want in a relationship (gender indifference)?

Do you have a preference for one gender over another?

How do you respond to being with a same sex partner? A partner of the opposite sex?

Do you want an exclusively 1-2-1 relationship with this person?

What are your thoughts on open marriages?

Are you emotionally strong enough to act as the glue in a long term ménage à trois?

What are your thoughts on partner swapping (From USENet, I can remember one guy's .sig had the tag "This is my husband, and these are our two wives" - all four were Bi)?

The list of questions goes on & on - but I'd say you have to know yourself; before you can know what you want for your life (of long term happiness).

Best wishes finding it!

The first answer had it correct, look for the person not the sex. True love knows no gender. I have been with my partner for 25 years and have had ups and downs, but I would never leave her, though I was technically bi yet she is strictly lesbian. You will find your soul mate and just embrace the fact that you haven't cut out half of the population by being straight!

I faced this decision years ago. Though physically I am more attracted to women, I find that mentally and emotionally I fit better with men. Now, I have been married 8 years with 2 kids and have NEVER regretted my decision. My husband is a perfect fit, for me:)

im more of a tomboy around girls

more timid around guys

so really... i dunno... but i think im more fit with girls because i tend to be more like myself when i am with them
