A Question for Men: Would You Marry a Bisexual Woman?


I was out with a group of friends who were having a debate about how socially acceptable bisexuality in women is and some argued that while some men might find it a turn-on they still don't really respect bisexual women but others disagreed.

So to any heterosexual men reading this;

Would you ever marry or get into a committed relationship with an openly bisexual woman?

bisexuality can be intimidating. bisexuals get it all (boys and girls), so their current partner probably realizes they can't give the bi-partner everything. does that make sense?

Years ago I was involved with an openly bisexual woman. We really loved each other but we eventually broke up, due more to our mutual immaturity, I believe, than to her sexual inclinations, although that did add another layer of complexity to the relationship.

Right, I'm not going to pretend to be any kind of expert, but just because someone is bisexual, if they are with the right person for them, it doesn't matter if that person they are committed to is a man or a woman.

If a straight woman is married to a straight man and therefore finds men attractive, it doesn't mean to say that they are bound to go off and have affairs. Why should it be any different for someone who is bisexual?

reply

no it does not make sense to anyone with at least an average IQ

But I would not seriously date a bisexual woman.

I support all gay and bisexual rights: marriage, adopt kids...whatever.

I would not be comfortable dating a bisexual woman though.

I am attracted to women physically, my attraction to the female form is just intrinsic to who I am and how I sexualize another person. I like to be liked as a man physically in return. This is important, to know that I am wanted as I want.

I don't understand the mind of someone who can sexualize both genders...and I really can't trust something I can't begin to understand in a romantic and exclusive relationship.

I don't think bisexuality is wrong, that it is indecent or against the nature of certain people....but I still don't get it personally, because I wouldn't begin to know how to look at a member of my own gender as an attractive sexual form.

Straight people date straight people, gay people date gay people....I always look at bisexuality as being a third and unique sexual identity, and think it makes best sense (meaning it is probably the most comfortable and mentally rewarding) for a bisexual person to date a bisexual person

For some reason, bisexuals are lumped in with gays....which I doubt is all that fitting. A bisexual person is just as detached from homosexuality as they are from heterosexuality.

Anyway...someone being bisexual is a dealbreaker for me. I need the person I date to feel the same way about sex and attraction, at the same intrinsic and natural levels, as I do.

I don't pretend to understand bisexuals, and I don't think they can understand me...when it comes to sexuality I should stress, as sexual orinetation, of course, is nothing in regards to friendship.

To me, someone who couldn't "handle" being in a committed relationship to a bisexual woman has got more problems of their own than their partner does. Their sexuality should make absolutely no difference if they are in a relationship that is truly loving and committed. If the bisexual woman was completely devoted to their male partner, what difference does their sexuality make? It's not like they are more inclined to go cheat on their partner with another woman. It's just as likely something like that would happen with a heterosexual partner. The argument that being in a relationship with a bisexual woman is "discomforting" or "worrying" somehow is the most ridiculous thing. You would have to be pretty insecure to be constantly worrying about the extent of your partner's commitment just because they are bisexual. Unbelievable.

I only had to read this sentence to discover that you must be somewhat of a bigot, or at least very insecure.
