talk about your gender preferences, how you discovered you were bi, what's your type in men and women, how you feel in the community, any struggles you've had with bisexuality, etc. Ignore and report baiters.
If you're unsure if you're bisexual, the questioning thread is likely a better fit.

i have teenage boy taste in women and sweaty gay scrote taste in men but fuck it im not ashamed of it

No. 550152

Lately I've been having extremely ridiculous bisexual wet dreams. And it's a problem because then when my alarm goes off at 6am, I'm horny AS FUCK because my brain has just been subjecting me to a night of sex fantasies about not just one but two sexes, so i wake up feeling like I need to go sensually crawl around naked in a field or spiritually fuck the whole earth or something, that's the level of horny I'm talking about. But it's 6am and I have 45 minutes to be out the door for work so I just have to get straight up and into the shower even though i feel like i need the entire day off to masturbate. Last night I dreamt I was making out with this tiny guy from work (I love tiny men) but then also collaged with being squirted on by multiple women, and then the night before it was me licking pussy and sucking balls at the same time, like the people were stacked ass-out towards me. Like these dreams don't even make sense bro, it's literally like "sex nonsense compilation 3000"

I feel like a lowly Animal

I’m really depressed. I’ve only ever fallen for one woman, but it was the most passionate feelings I’ve ever experienced (it didn’t work out, it was very one-sided). I desperately want to experience feelings like that again, but just like before her, I’m not attracted to any women in my daily life, rarely do I even see a picture of a woman I feel any inkling of attraction towards. I am attracted to men in my daily life, but I don’t really like men as people and while my sexual and romantic feelings for them are nice, and I used to be satisfied with that, my feelings for men are not nearly as intense and exhilarating at it was when I fell for that one woman. I’m almost 30, and I’m terrified I will never fall in love with a woman and get to experience those feelings again. It’s pathetic, but she’s still the only person I masturbate about because like I said, nothing compares.

The experience has awakened a horny demon inside of me though and now I’m at the point where l kind of want to put myself out there and find SSA spaces just to see if maybe I can find another woman I’m attracted to. But I am held back from doing it because I genuinely feel no attraction to most other women and I feel like people would detect that and think I’m some larper. And also I get extremely embarrassed around SSA women and especially feel embarrassed acknowledging I am one. So it just feels impossible. But I want to find another female crush so bad, she doesn’t even have to like me back, I just want to fall in love again. I don’t know what to do.

i sort of get it, its hard for me to imagine living with anyone and not getting sick to death of them, no matter how much I liked them. But maybe it's because I've never been in IRL love. I keep waiting for that to happen, but it just never does. I'm almost 30 now. It really bothers me that I can't seem to get interested in anyone around me, when it seems to come naturally to everyone else.

For me I kinda want the traditional straight relationship, children, house together, maybe even marriage (I dont find it romantic or anything it but for legal reasons). But with a woman, with moid it seems like nightmare. However especially having children would be difficult and many women who prefer to date women dont want any. Im getting 30 so not endless years to decide also.

No. 555120

sometimes i feel like a fake bisexual and idk it doesn’t matter that much in the grand scheme of things, it’s not like i even really tell anyone, but i don’t know whether i’m just straight and a pervert or bi and a huge asshole.

i’ve had sexual experiences with women that i enjoyed and would do again but i’ve never been in a relationship with a woman and when i think about it the idea is mortifying. not because homophobia or anything but because the level of emotional availability women seem to expect from just their platonic friendships really stresses me out and the idea of having to manage that in a relationship sounds way out of my depth. part of why i like dating moids is they’re simple and easy to understand and i don’t feel too bad when i don’t always validate their feelings.

i dunno, i don’t think any of it really matters in the long run, i’m not going around yelling about how gay i am in my straight relationships, but it does make me wonder what my whole deal is.

If it helps, sexual orientation is the biological sex you desire and have sex with (innate). Everything else, like how comfortable you are about it and how well you can handle relationships and commitment, is unrelated to orientation, it's more about nurture and how you were raised, what society taught you about being a woman and attraction to men and women, and if you have any sexual trauma that affects attachment styles.

i think i'm finally over my ex. i've been stuck pining for her for the 2 years we've been broken up, but i got the chance to catch up with her recently and in those 2 years she went full tif (on t) and tra (the "trans people are on stage 9 of genocide" kind) and has gone down the kink rabbithole. it left me kind of shocked but it's also allowed me to move on from any left over feelings and fantasies i had. she isn't the girl i was in love with anymore and i can't change her at this point. i miss her and always will but it's over and i am at peace with it.

Lesbian Feminist is an euphemism for political lesbian nona. This one's tricky because it can mean "i'm a feminist and gay" but a lot of the time it's the other name for polilez. Dogwhistling is a meme but this kind of feminist uses dogwhistles all the time because they don't want to be confronted

Is it just me or are Kinsey 5 bisexual women literally invisible? I literally feel like the only one irl. Even online. Every bisexual woman I see either has a boyfriend or just says “girls are so pretty lol!” and calls it a day. I’ve never related to that. I’ve only been in a relationship with a woman, and I’ve only wanted to marry a woman ever since puberty. But I did find some boys pretty attractive in like middle school and one experience with one that I had hated lmao—but I know I’m not a lesbian either.

For a while I actually thought I was a “non-gold star lesbian,” but honestly? That label is kind of BS. If someone’s had real attraction or experiences with men, they’re probably just bisexual. It doesn’t mean they want men now, or ever again—but the history still matters when you’re being honest about orientation. That’s literally what bisexuality is. Lowkey wish there was just more representation for women who are basically only into women now but aren’t lesbians because of our pasts or abysmally low attraction to men.

It’s annoying to be bisexual and have people assume I’m down for men or I secretly will want to marry/date men. I’m not. Not even a little. Tired of people projecting shit and people like Jojo Siwa and Chappell Roan don’t make it any better.

I get you nonnington. I have only felt that deep, heart shattering chemistry with women, their bodies excite me, whereas with men it's not so easy (i even had to try hard at first!) - and yet having had even one instance of attraction to men, I can say I'm a bi. I guess people who are kinsey 5 prefer to adopt the lesbian label (which they shouldn't as it hurts the lesbian community) for political or 'angryatexbf' reasons- but then I guess baby fever kicks in, or internalised male gaze. For me, I chose to date a man because I want a family one day and don't want to deprive them of a father, even though I have only had the silly romantic butterflies and gripping lust with women (my p word literally spasms for girls lol)
>secretly will want to marry/date men
You ever heard the idea that it's assumed, if a guy is bi, he's gay, and if a woman is bi, she prefers men? I think loving men is just seen as the default.
>it doesn't mean they want men now
exactly! Just because you're only into women at the moment, if you're bi, that could change! Hence bicycling! But then a bi girl in the homo cycle claims 'lesbian' and severely discredits lesbians when that changes
If you want to date women by decided, deliberate preference, and just have a strong leaning towards women, I think you can say you're a homosexual leaning bisexual. People don't really know about the kinsey scale. Hopefully that helps people understand you.

I don't get this, fathers aren't that present in a kid's life… out of all the reasons to pick men the family-related ones make the least sense. But it might be a symbolic thing i don't grasp
>>558922
> If someone’s had real attraction or experiences with men, they’re probably just bisexual.
Attraction yes, experience isn't all that meaningful. So many straight women experiment and they're still straight.
>Is it just me or are Kinsey 5 bisexual women literally invisible?
Oh yeah. They just go on to call themselves lesbians and it works because they pretty much appear gay to people who don't know. Though i've seen some women explain they had one or two male exes but prefer women. Being honest is good but i understand why someone who boil it down to lesbian for convenience. Problem is, as >>558998 said it's not true and you run of risk of looking like a fool and making others look like fools if you feel like sleeping with a guy once in a blue moon

I get so upset when I see pregnant women because it reminds me how bad I wish i had a pregnant wife to spoil. The dumb thing though is I don’t even want kids, but I have a thing for pregnant women kek. I mean if I met the woman of my dreams and she wanted to have a baby then maybe. But that’s a big maybe. I just think pregnant bellies are sooooooo cute. I had an old coworker who was this super tall awkward older 30s STEM woman and she looked so cute with the baby bump on her lanky self. It was ridiculous. I didn’t used to have a thing for this so i don’t know what happened. But now i’m always fantasizing about some infinitely lucky universe where I find a woman I’m crazy about and get to watch her go through pregnancy and birth. I would love to see if the baby looked like her. In my fantasy I pretend there doesn’t have to be a man involved and she reproduces via parthenogenesis like one of those morning geckos kek. This is my secret fantasy obsession.

I grew up very, very sheltered and moved somewhere quite small for college.

I love my boyfriend very much but I wish I got to do more beyond just making out and hopelessly pining as a teenager/young adult. I would never ever cheat but goddammit if this relationship never ends I'll always have the thought of a butch flirting with me in the back of my mind.

I love women so much but I have serious self esteem and mommy issues. My mom was an overachieving
STEM professional who bought her own house, cars, etc but I lost her early into adult life and my dad died when I was like 5.

Like even with a """high value""" man kek, I will still be a loving, generous partner because it's just my nature to dote on my loved ones, but there's always some amount of disconnect and mental distance and performance. With women, I can just be myself. Or at least I want to be. The best version of myself obviously, but it doesn't feel like it's enough. I'm definitely not well off financially and while I have knowledge and talents that aren't necessarily financially lucrative, I don't know how I could be seen as a good potential partner to another woman, especially in my 30s. I am constantly trying to improve my life and circumstances and better myself for my own sake, but I see a beautiful woman and I feel profoundly sad that I can't be the partner she deserves and I will never be good enough and I will never know love unless I fundamentally fix my life. And even then, would women want me?

Going through life alone is still on hard mode, even if men end up sucking the life out of you eventually. Moids don't hold themselves to any standards but yet feel entitled to a gorgeous bangmaid. I don't care to impress them if I know they're attracted to me, I just go with the flow. They always end up disappointing me. I hate them. I need therapy.

I suffer from extreme anger and jealousy towards straight couples. I have had friends in same-sex relationships and that has never really bothered me, but I almost can’t even be friends with a woman if she has a boyfriend because it just makes me angry. I’m assuming the anger is due in part to jealousy of some kind. I struggle to even identify why I get so ridiculously angry. I’ve felt this way my whole life, when my friends started getting BFs in high school I struggled to mask my anger about it. But if you were to ask me if I want a boyfriend, my answer would be “no, I don’t want a boyfriend.” So why am I jealous? I started to think I might be jealous of the moid and not the woman. But I think it’s somehow both, jealousy’s towards both parties. It’s like I’m jealous of the entire dynamic even though I don’t want a boyfriend. I am usually pretty self-perceptive so I don’t know why I can’t figure this out. But I am almost 30 now, I can’t keep having the angry teenager emotions, it feels (and is) ridiculous. But I don’t know how to stop the anger and jealousy because I can’t even identify what the actual source is. I want to be able to feel normally about straight couples so bad. It’s getting worse now that I’m at the age where my peers are having kids. I am never more jealous than when a man has a pregnant wife. But maybe that’s a different jealousy than the anger I’m even talking about. I’m a mess. Basically I think I’m just a very jealous person and my internal life is extremely unpleasant due to this. Please throw any ideas you have at me (reasons, ways to cure this, etc) because it’s really painful living this way.

I relate. The woman i'm crushing on is perfect and i could easily see us having a modest but happy family, but i feel very behind people my age in terms of professional achievements.

I know she's somewhat interested (at least i can guess from a couple cues) but i don't know if she'd laugh when i admit it's my dream to raise a baby with her
>I will never be good enough and I will never know love unless I fundamentally fix my life
Isn't this a vicious cycle? If you don't have anything to look forward to (something like love) you won't necessarily have the motivation to try harder. You shouldn't keep yourself out of a dating chance because you feel inadequate. Moving to be with her, discovering a new job, so many things can happen with a new couple

my guess is trust issues? like you resent that your friends could trust men enough to get a boyfriend, then those women could trust men enough to get pregnant. I usually think of anger as a protective emotion so my guess is you feel like you're protecting yourself from men (and there's valid reasons to feel that way) and you're jealous those women don't have to. Possibly some jealousy towards men that men can experience support & care from women but don't tend to return the same support & care to women.

This. I don't have friends who I can hang out in groups anymore because of schedule so I'm mainly speaking from teenage experience but having the ugly Nigel awkwardly sit there ruins the entire mood, vibe, and group dynamic. You can't tell her anything, or chat about anything deeper than the weather because the scrote is listening. 90% of the time he clearly thinks you and the rest of her female friends are annoying and retarded girls and is just there as a guard dog to keep an eye on his girlfriend. Less firsthand experience but she'll always insist on bringing him along and ask him for his opinion on everything.

Sometimes I think about the straight girl in high school I had a huge crush on, who'd playfully flirt with me and make a lot of jokes about finding me attractive or us being together. I was closeted but I'm pretty sure she could tell I had a crush on her and enjoyed the attention and ego boost. It didn't feel malicious but it feels kind of gross looking back on it.

It was even worse before I started having sex with men, I just couldn't shake the feeling they thought they were better than me, and even though it's controversial I might argue that this is evident through the attitude some have towards lesbians with no opposite sex experience.

I don’t date because I know I’d never be satisfied with just one sex. And that seems like one trait that everyone universally considers immoral and disgusting, I don’t like being this way either, and I feel like such a terrible person and have extremely intense shame whenever anyone asks me if I have a bf/gf or why I’ve never had one. I truly hate being bisexual and I hate myself. I would do literally anything to wake up and be either straight or gay, I don’t care which. Accepting that I will be alone for my entire life because I can’t choose is so hard. and I feel like it’s my fault and that I’m a trash person even though I know what I hate about myself is totally out of my control. And I know even posting admitting this will probably get me a bunch of hateful replies but if those people would only put themselves in my shoes they’d see there’s literally no reason to insult someone who is already hates themselves to the maximum for it, like, it’s not going to make me hate myself more because I’m already there at the bottom, so why bother?

My heart wants just one person to give my all to, but my sexuality (as in my personal sexuality) always craves both sexes.

Most moids wouldn't really care that you also desired women because it doesn't make them feel cucked. Some lesbians wouldn't like it but most bi women wouldn't mind since they can relate to liking men too anyway. Besides, even monosexuals fantasize about people other than their partner sometimes.
Again if you are living without sex anyway, why is it such an issue if you can only have sex with a man or a woman forever instead of both? If you found a partner who didn't care, is it really a personal tragedy for you if you're limited to only one sex? I think you're just making up imaginary problems for yourself to justify not putting yourself out there.

this kind of thinking just makes bisexual people look unstable, and i’m so tired of seeing it. like… what do you mean “you’re missing something” if you’re with a partner you actually love? that literally just makes you sound like you’re emotionally unavailable or prepping to cheat. being bisexual doesn’t mean you're never satisfied unless you have access to both sexes. you can be loyal and still recognize people are attractive. it’s called basic self-control. i’ve seen way too many posts like this from people claiming to be bi, and i’ve never related to a single one of them. sometimes i wonder if that makes me “biphobic” or whatever—but honestly, most of these posts just sound like straight-up mental instability and have nothing to do with being bisexual.

Yeah I agree it doesn’t have to mean that, but the term “bisexual” covers people with a huge range of sexual preferences that can be very different from one another, and I’m saying, for me, that’s what my personal bisexual sexuality is like. It’s straight up retarded for you to suggest it sounds like I’m “gearing up to cheat” when this entire discussion was started by me stating I don’t date because I don’t want to make a partner feel bad in any way.
I can’t tell from your wording if you’re bisexual or just a lurking bi hater, it’s dumb to try to police what bisexual people are allowed to say based on how it makes “bisexuals look” because again, “bisexual” covers a huge range of people, from women who highly prefer men to men who highly prefer trannies to people who bicycle severely to people who have an unchanging even 50/50 split— all of these people are called bisexual for convenience but they’re all clearly very different in their sexualities. Just because other people don’t get that there’s huge variety under the bisexual label doesn’t mean I’m going to never talk about my own experiences.

Well the vast majority of bisexuals have a preference, but you need to actually date people to figure it out. Worrying in your corner won't solve anything. Honestly it feels like you're scared of intimacy and blaming it on your bisexuality when it's irrelevant. The excuse of not wanting to hurt anyone is implausible, unless you're dangling it in front of them it won't hurt them. I've been in this position (making someone uneasy because of my bisexuality) and it sucks, but you make it up by actually committing and staying loyal, then their anxiety dissipates. You can also be upfront, ime lesbians react badly to bisexuality because of experiences where a bi ex would swear up and down that she's "done with men" only to dump them for a man (or worse, an ex). If you're honest about your inexperience and don't make someone enter a relationship on a false pretense it should be fine

If the person has enough awareness of your bisexuality it can make them anxious.

okay, but you’re misunderstanding what i actually took issue with. you can say “this is just my experience” all you want, but you literally said you can’t be in a relationship because you’d “always be missing something” unless you had both sexes. that’s not just a personal quirk—that’s framing bisexuality itself as inherently unsatisfying or broken. you made it about the label, and now you’re upset someone responded to that framing.

i’m also bisexual. i lean toward women, but that doesn’t change anything—i like who i like. i’ve only dated a woman, but i’ve had attraction and crushes on both sexes. so yeah, i’m bi. obviously bisexuality shows up differently in different people—i know that. i literally seek out other bisexual women with similar preferences, because we’re so vast. but i’ve never once felt like i’m “missing” something when i’m with someone i genuinely love. attraction doesn’t mean you’re owed fulfillment on all sides. the idea that being bi means you’ll always feel deprived unless you act on “both” isn’t bisexuality—that’s poor emotional regulation. if you can’t commit, that’s your issue. it’s not a trait of the orientation. and yeah, that sounds more like emotional or sexual struggles, which is valid—but name it honestly.

you said you don’t date because you don’t want to hurt anyone. okay, fair. but saying “i would never be satisfied with just one sex” still feeds one of the most harmful stereotypes about bi people—that we’re inherently unstable, unfaithful, or incapable of commitment. and other bi people—especially those who’ve had to deal with that stigma—have every right to push back. not everything someone says about themselves is immune to critique just because it’s painful. that’s not hate. that’s accountability.

I get that you’re mad that I’m talking about my experience because it partly aligns with a stereotype, but I’m not going to lie and keep silent to make you or other people feel better? Your post sounds like a tumblr essay about how my experience is ~problematic~ but I don’t know what to tell you, everything I said is 100% my honest personal struggles and I’m not going to censor my honest experience just because it’s not exactly what you want to hear. I’ve given ample caveats that I don’t speak for all bisexual people, I’ve said that that we’re all very different, and I’ve made it clear I’m not interested in entering a relationship and would never cheat because I care about people. So at this point, it’s your problem if you want to clutch pearls and futilely try to convince me to lie, because not going to.

There is a huge subset of bisexual women like you who act as the Bisexual Police, always on the lookout for any other bisexual woman saying something that you think makes “us” look bad, and then defensively labeling them as crazy or unstable or whatever the write-off of the day is.

You guys do the same thing to people who bi-cycle, telling them it’s just them being emotionally unstable, just because you don’t personally experience it. Bisexuality manifests very differently in different people and the sooner we acknowledge that the less aggressive infighting would occur, but we’re too paranoid about how we are perceived to non-bisexuals that we’re too defensive to even entertain the thought that other people have very different experiences from each other.

Am I even really bisexual when my vision of lesbian sex is so deeply influenced by the male gaze? Despite the fact that I quit porn nearly a decade ago mind you. Yeah I'm attracted to women, I want to have sex with them and I'm seduced easily by them, but attraction to males will always feel more intuitive and being with men will always seem less scary. I never had sex, but when I imagine sex with women, I'm always doubting my sexuality, fearing that I'm not pretty enough to fuck a pretty woman, etc. I can't even fantasize about it in peace. As a child I had a weird fear that I would "turn out attracted to women" and when I started to feel things for them in my teens, it took a while for me to accept. Everything about it is fucking political, a debate subject, a test. I wouldn't feel this way if same-sex attraction was normalized, or if teenage me was never exposed to porn, or if pseudo-feminists would stfu about "bihets". It's exhausting. At this point I might as well settle down with a man and label myself as straight and try to supress my attraction to women from now on. And to fucking think some straight girls kiss girls when drunk like it's a joke, if you can even call that shit a kiss with how cold and reluctant it is… Fuck.

Is this why you think your bisexuality is "male gazey"? Is it just a worry about how attractive you are to other women (that's normal!) or about matching certain beauty standards? Do you feel like your own voyeur? I feel like if you do then yes, that would be one of the rare instances where male gaze is correctly used. I wish i had better advice but you shouldn't beat yourself up, instead you should act on whatever attractions you have and see if it helps.
>or if pseudo-feminists would stfu about "bihets"
Self-hating bis and purity police types like to sperg about this, but it's mostly a legit concern. Imagine if heterosexual women's dating pool was mostly comprised of men who would rather commit to other men most of the time, we'd never hear the end of it. Plus it's just true, bihets exist, they're the majority.

Yes, no matter what I do, but especially when it comes to imagining myself having sex and fantasizing. With men it's often "is this too self-degrading? Is it internalized misogyny?" and with women it's "is it hot enough or too porny? Why do I act anxious like my fantasy has an audience?"
>Plus it's just true, bihets exist, they're the majority.
I always thought bihets were a minority. I understand why lesbians hate them, it must be hard to deal with them in an already small dating pool…
>as an acknowledgment you prefer men
I heard that it's possible to have preferences as a bisexual, and for said preferences to fluctuate even. The whole "sexuality is fluid" Kinsey scale bs isn't true but bisexuality itself is fluid. Maybe I'm just more male-leaning? oh god, am i a bihet?!

I guess it's not exactly being your own voyeur (in the conventional self objectifying sense), but you have internalized a lot of shame and scrutiny of female sexuality. These worries are pretty common among SSA women and het women because so much weight is placed on women's sexuality. It's hard to let go but i hope you learn to stop ruminating, thinking in circles will never ever solve this. You have to keep telling yourself "i don't care" when you feel like you're slipping in one of these loops and go about your life.

I’m the same way, my type is super specific but I went absolutely batshit crazy when I came across a woman who fit my niche. I would stay up literally all night masturbating to the thought of her and get like 3 hours of sleep on work nights for months, I was a fucking mess, people were asking me if I was okay cuz I looked like death warmed over KEK. I had never been so sexually frustrated in my life. After that crush, nottthhhinggggg else compares. Everything feels so grey and boring. If I could have one wish come true for my life, it would be to find another woman like her who actually wants to be with me. I would sacrifice decades off my life for this. Please god. Please god.

I am pretty GNC too so people mistake me for butch lesbian.

Confession: I would really love to date a TIF, but not the modern kind who is addicted to tiktok discourse and on testosterone. I miss the way TIFs used to be when I was younger, aka, just shy cross dressing women/girls who talk in a fake low voice kek. I even think it would be kind of hot to call her my boyfriend and use male pronouns. I really wish I was more self aware back when I was a young teen and realized the funny feeling I had around my tif acquaintance was sexual attraction and acted on it. I would have loved to make out with her. But then I remember she turned out to be straight anyway so it could have never happened. I guess I just wish I could go back in time and slut it up with a proto-tif of 2013 before everyone got pubestaches and nasally frog voices and testosterone fueled weight gain.

After my first bf SA'd me numerous times when I was a teenager it was like my het side was dormant for over a decade. I genuinely thought I was lesbian or something because I was only aroused by women irl, but I still found male-on-straightmale abuse hot in fantasy (and only that) so it was like "okay so I am bi? But just in a fucked up way now." To make matters worse, 4 years after that, another moid stalked me for months when I was an older teenager and eventually SA'd me despite me asking people for help. The Y chromie was god's mistake, like after my ex did that, all I wanted to see were straight moids suffering for all eternity. And then when that other moid did that it was like just as I was getting better I was dragged back into hell and I needed reparations. So I just consoomed more male suffering.

After going to therapy for 4-5 years and working on myself to reach a point where I could be functional irl, in spite of the PTSD flashbacks, I developed a sense of self and identity outside of what was done to me (my therapist helped a lot with guiding me) and I was able to meet new people. When I did meet new people my het side stopped being dormant because I met a guy I felt attracted to because he was hot/funny/smelled good and I felt safe with him. I didn't act on it tho because we had such different lifestyles so it would've gone nowhere, but it was a relief that I got my attraction back. Oddly I was also able to be turned on by women in fantasy again because I'd reached a point of health where I wasn't suppressed anymore. I'm also able to have peaceful relationships that aren't based on how crazy they are or how much attention I'm getting. I feel like a different person now.

Basically it gets better nonna. I wish I could give you a hug right now.

It could be that you haven't developed an actual, coherent orientation because of what happened to you, or it's there but buried under layers of fear. You might prefer women, moids in fantasy are basically a variation of "female sexuality in male form" and who you actually respond to more are women. The fact that you are more attracted to women in real life is very much an indicator. Or i'm wrong, it's the reverse and you simply feel safer with women. Don't dwell on the supposed origin of your orientation too much. Truth is, it's fixed quite early in life so you probably are bi for reasons that have nothing to do with grooming. You aren't just what happened to you, even if it feels very lonely a lot of the time. Good luck

do any of you ever feel like you have to filter for bi women who actually take dating women seriously? like how do you even do that? i’ve realized i’m most comfortable dating other bi women (they’re more common anyway), but i’m also wary — especially of anyone who calls themselves pan or queer. my ex used those labels and yeah, she was serious about women but also deeply messed up in other ways, so it just makes me cautious. i guess i’m asking how you tell the difference between someone who says they like women or only sees women as flings vs someone who actually lives it out.

I prioritised encountering women irl at bars, clubs or events and found greater success with that. Dating apps were a whole lot of self-identified queer women, het couples with dyed-hair bi women and toad boyfriends looking for a third, and women who would just talk about how much they loved "kissing girls" in ways that made it sound like they liked the idea of homosexuality in a handholding yuri manga sense and not the real thing. I find it much easier to filter for my type of woman irl even with my autism. If they make the effort to be at those events and connect with other women, it's naturally more likely that we'll get along. Try that if it's an option for you.

Maybe you already know this but from my own experience, women who seem straight and who say things like "i'm done with men" , "i'm so serious with women" "i can only see a future with a woman" are usually lying. I've had a woman say this to me even though she had a fling with a guy that same year and still chatted with him. They say this because they know you're more serious and are serving you what you hope to hear. It could be that they really are done with men, that happens, but if it's spelled out really clearly in this way, be wary. It's fine if you're unsure about how serious a relationship will be but i don't understand why they play it up, it reminds me of how men act when they promise long-term relationships when they really just want sex.

most likely not. because there will always be bi women out there who will have sex with women, but don’t want a committed relationship with women. so, they’re still considered bisexual (because what straight woman desires sex with women in any way lol…), but these bisexuals who marry men / only have flings with women are like SUPER common.
so THEN lesbians encounter these women and get jaded (rightfully so), and then say all bi women are like this. then bisexual women who actually want to date or marry have to shift through these bisexuals as well lmao. or lesbians assume that these bi women who DO want to genuinely date women long-term are all fakers and should just end up with men (i.e. >>572755 mindset). They will shit and curse out these bisexual women till the day they die, because the former type of bisexual women will always make up the majority.

the solution to this? we stick to our own. let the lesbians try to find other lesbians (even though they’ll encounter bisexuals who mislabel themselves as lesbians quite often lmao. they’ll have to find gold stars). the bisexual women who do want to date women, can just try to find other bi women who take it seriously. both are hard but eh. i’d rather date a sane bi woman then have to deal with a lesbian living in constant paranoia and doubting my same sex attraction.

Similar to me. I only find penis attractive in fantasy/fetishes, but I’ve only had and desire relationships with women. Sometimes I feel like a broken bisexual, because I never hear that as the case for most bisexual women.

Nta, Tbh same. I had bfs when I was younger (even dated a gymnast with trophies adorning his walls I'm not even kidding kek) and yet honestly they just don't compare to the excitement of being kissed by a woman and flirting with her. Even being walked home by a woman is still somehow more exciting and I can't stop thinking about us having sex and feeling really lustful. When I'm not feeling lustful I'm imagining us hanging out and having fun doing things together. Actually looking back, when I was a teenager I e-cheated on one of my bfs with an e-gf and later dumped him over text to e-date her instead because it felt more satisfying with her KEK. How it feels to chew kinsey 5 gum.

I do think (depressingly so) that a not insignificant number of lesbians have had bad experiences irl with bi women. But also it can't be our collective responsibility to be so apologetic for whatever dumb thing a random Kinsey 0.69 and her Nigel did. Even though I prefer dating bi women I'd love more lesbian friends/potential partners and hate the mass trooning of them that's going on rn

>What if she leaves you for a woman?
AYRT is a retard but being left for a man when it's likely your ex preferred men all along is a pretty different experience. You can't compete with a man if that's what she prefers, it makes you question the whole relationship and sours the breakup even more. Like imagine a straight woman committing to a man, he keeps doing things that hint at him preferring men but she chooses to trust his word. He eventually leaves for a man and seems more committed (for the purpose of the argument, picture him adopting a child with that new man when he refused having a baby with her). Not all lesbian-bisexual breakups are this bad but it's a common occurence. If this happened to straight women on a regular basis they would screen for bisexual men and avoid them (which they already do).

Yes, i've even argued with other bisexuals over this irl. If i coherently argue in favor of the lesbian POV i get told to "touch grass" or that i "hate male sexuality" by salty bihets who can't dismiss the reasons for the rift. They can't exactly deny it because it applies to them so it's back to non-answers, calling you a manhater (?) or cope along the lines of "if a woman showed up and wanted to date me i'd totes be gay" coming from someone who can't cite a single same-sex crush. On the flipside, i feel like some lesbians set themselves up for failure and purposefully ignore blatant red flags, then go back to their routine of feeling sorry for themselves like "my heart is too big and i'm such a lovergirl" kekk

women are what always take up my fantasies — like, they just live there. and sometimes i feel like i’m lowkey gaslighting myself into thinking i’m faking all this, just because both heteros and homos act like my mind and body can’t possibly work this way…? even if i literally had a serious relationship with my ex-gf hah(integrate)

I’m a complete train wreck. I’m that anon whose crush married an ugly older man. I had been making some mental stability progress, thinking about her less, but today she announced she’s having a baby boy. I thought I would be ready to take it but I wasn’t, apparently.
I am so pathetic that I have been locked in the work bathroom crying and shaking so bad I can barely type this. I’m trying to do everything they say to do for a panic attack like deep breathing, focusing on something calming, counting, etc, but I can’t stop shaking really bad and having tears in my eyes. My eye makeup is totally ruined now and my face is all red and puffy so when I finally leave the restroom it will look so obviously like I’ve been crying. And to make matters worse, it’s my mom’s birthday tonight so I need to somehow get myself together and into a celebratory mood before I arrive after work. I don’t know how I’m going to do it.

I’ve tried to keep myself from checking up on her countless times and I never can keep it up because I just want to see her face so bad. I just want this all to end, it’s been going on too long, I can’t live like this anymore, but I can’t figure out how to banish my feelings and time isn’t working.
(In the past, I fantasized so many times about her being my wife and caring for her when she’s pregnant, so seeing all this happen irl is excruciating for me. )

It’s been like 45 minutes and I’m still shaking like a leaf. What do I do? Why can other people seem to get over stuff like this yet I’m stuck here falling apart like a complete retard even though I knew this was coming? Why can’t I get over her? Why does no one else catch my eye and make me feel like she does? I want to move on and be normal but I am stuck on her no matter how much pain it causes me. I hate myself so much, you have no idea.

Are you close friends with your crush? It sounds like you’re grieving what you thought the relationship could have been. Which is different than how it would have actually played out IRL, which is a complete unknown because it didn’t happen so freaking out about it is kind of like mentally torturing yourself for no reason. If you guys are close then the best thing you can do for her is remain in the present moment, just throw yourself into your work today and then throw yourself into the party and direct all of your energy outwards. And after that, just be a good and loving friend to her. You’ll never get over her if you’ve already convinced yourself that she’s the one that got away, rather than someone who just wasn’t meant to be in your life in that capacity.

She was an acquaintance I always kept a distance from but admired from afar on social media, and now she lives in another part of the world, so it really is just a stupid as fuck problem that I am so hung up on her. I locked myself out of almost all my ways to check her socials, but admittedly I still did check one of them a couple times a week, which is how I saw the announcement.

I’ve tried really hard to be at peace with it, to be happy for her (which is hard when she married an ugly old scrote and is having a scrotelet…) and recognize that since this was just a one sided infatuation I should put it behind me, but I seem to be incapable of it. I’m just so sad about who she married. I’m not under any illusions it ever could have been me, or even a woman at all, but to choose and reproduce with a fat slob of a man 11 years older than her… it just hurts to think about. So it feels like the only solution is to never think about her at all, because when I do, I can’t not feel passionate about her, but at the same time it’s impossible to forget and never think about someone who had such a huge impact on you, so like… what am I supposed to do?? Genuinely I don’t know how to deal with my feelings.

Time. Literally just time. I met a woman who I felt like was the love of my life, we had this incredible mental and sexual connection. But she wasn’t feeling me romantically and that rejection felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest. I still think about her most days, but I haven’t cried in months and lately I don’t even feel sad anymore, just bittersweet. I try to remind myself to be grateful that I met someone who made me feel that way, because it means I’m capable of feeling that strongly about someone I haven’t even met yet.

I hope you're right, anons. Thank you very much for the advice. It's been a little less than a year since the marriage. I am going to completely stop checking up on her socials now. I think this really has to be the end.

A lot of people say the easiest way to move on is to find someone irl, but (even disregarding the fact that I am not at all interested in anyone I see) the intensity of my mental suffering just from observing an old acquaintance from afar makes me seriously concerned about what would happen to me when an actual IRL relationship fails (which happens to almost everyone at least a couple of times). Like, if I became the saddest I have ever been in my life just over this acquaintance I barely knew, what would happen if I had a painful IRL breakup? I legitimately think it would probably make me a danger to myself. So I'm too scared to even try to find someone irl. yes i've been to therapy, but none of the therapists I tried understood why I was so upset about this crush… and I have been medicated my whole life but I don't think it does anything for me

I also think I am having such a hard time moving past all this partly because I have some OCD-like rumination tendencies (not diagnosed but runs in the family…) that cause me to compulsively imagine things I don't want to about her married life, compulsively do A:B comparisons between the old her to the current her because it hurts and confuses me, and the worst one now is that i feel like if I stop checking on her then I am weak for not being able to handle the information, and then my imagination takes over to fill the gaps, but I hate imagining incorrect information so I cave and check again… I've tried many times to stop keeping up with her but my brain tells me that's "avoiding the problem" as if it's even a problem that can be addressed just by thinking about it and causing myself pain.

I definitely am not mentally right but I think it's just the way I'll always be, it's really hard to live like this.

But did you ever have any sort of real thing with her, even flirting/situationship or is it all just fantasy? Speaking as someone who has a long term crush on a married TIF friend I understand your pain to some degree but what helps me in a weird way is knowing it can never be because I'm not her type. She's straight with an exception and only met her TIF partner after a stupid moid breakup. Also if it's okay to ask is your crush straight or bi? Maybe this all sounds too blunt but I really do empathise with you and you deserve better.

My girlfriend brought up wanting to open the relationship again after our first conversation about it went awful a couple months back. We had to go long distance because she moved away for grad school, so for two years we would be apart and I guess the lack of sex is getting to her and we can only do so much virtually. I don't even feel crushed like the first time she brought it up, just dejected. Sure, she can go fuck other people. This relationship is not like anyhing I wanted for myself.

DA I'm more open to non monogamy than most LC nonnas (due to my self destructive BPD and autism combo I assume) but as >>574838 explained pretty well it would be a whole different disturbing experience for a female partner to fuck a man rather than another woman imho. It's disingenuous to pretend the two would be the same. Anyway anon my advice is to just be fully honest about how you feel about it. There's no use in downplaying how uncomfortable it makes you especially since this is the second time she's brought it up.

Nta but you're using a very specific scenario. Yes of course if your ex lied to you for years about being a lesbian and she suddenly comes out as bi and immediately leaves you for a male and gets pregnant, that's shocking. Otherwise, if you know your ex or gf is bi, it means you understand she may have or will one day interact with the opposite sex and that doesn't mean that she never loved you. Don't get me wrong, I know spicy straights and "bicurious" are a dime a dozen nowadays, but if we're talking about a grown woman who actually enters a long-term relationship with another woman (not just lying about it for clout), there's no reason for her to date the sex she supposedly likes "less" when it would be much easier to date a man, let alone lie about being SSA at all. So, not really comparable to closeted gay men who trap women until they're ready to come out. Ironically a lot of women avoid bi men because they think they're just gay, with bi women it's the opposite and everyone assume they're straight.

I'm illustrating a broader point (kinsey 2 women having little emotional investment in their lesbian relationships) with an extreme example. Some are pretty honest about it, others not so much.
> there's no reason for her to date the sex she supposedly likes "less" when it would be much easier to date a man, let alone lie about being SSA at all
There is, it's fun and they get to experience something different from hetero dynamics. A recent bad breakup with a man is the biggest red flag for this dynamic. They aren't lying about SSA, they're just not truthful about how it's just an exciting new thing and nothing more. I know it's hard to imagine but many women just slide into relationships because they feel like they have to date at all times (on top of the former reasons).
>and that doesn't mean that she never loved you
That's not really the point. The point is there is a massive gap and it'd be so much better if these women were upfront about only wanting hookups or flings. Or getting into something without grand declarations of undying love because you actually don't know where it's headed. That's why i hate when people come at open Kinsey 2s because i feel it goads them into this behavior for fear of the 'bislut' label. I still think some lesbians are eager to disregard obvious tells and then lash out at all bisexuals when they should have been less willfully naive

I don’t believe being lower on the kinsey scale actually makes someone unable to take relationships with women seriously though, they’re just less likely to try since they can easily retreat into heterosexuality. Most women who do that have shitty attitudes towards women they date, even some of the “honest” ones, I don’t really want to excuse it as just being their sexuality.
I do agree that it muddies the issue if any bi woman who prefers men is accused of faking SSA even if they date and sleep with women.

Just a dumb example but i'm watching random youtube videos and this girl has such a beautiful face but is so clearly straight and imagining these women chasing after crusty dudes is so depressing to me for some reason. Maybe i'm just scarred because my biggest crush was on a straight woman but I've been so down about this lately. I haven't been aware of my bisexuality until a few years ago so I guess maybe I'm just behind on getting this feeling worked through but still. Ugh.

I went through a phase of being ravenously horny like a teenager. And now I'm not really into men anymore and am obsessed with boyish and handsome women. They are rare to see in the wild though and even rarer to find one who doesn't think she's a man.

samefag I know this might sound dumb but being into women has been so incredibly painful for me just due to general world and specific personal circumstances that I really would like to learn how to be attracted to men again. basically I am tired of pining for women that are as rare as endangered birds. Like it just sucks. My mental health is in the trash. My life crushing on men was so much simpler and I miss it. I wonder if there's a way to bring back my sexual attraction to men naturally? I've tried to force it but it isn't pleasant. But I used to be into them, so I know it must still be inside me somewhere.
I still am able to find men cute, but imagining doing anything further than kissing with dudes is not appealing to me at all anymore. I am tired of living with the pain of liking women I can't have (whether that be because theyre straight, IDing as trans, or if the crush is parasocial, etc) though and I just want to go back to fantasizing about dudes because I guess I'm weak or something and emotionally exhausted. I used to have husbandos that made me happy but now I'm not into 2d characters anymore, i guess maybe i've matured too much to get excited about lines like I used to (no offense husbandowaifufags more power to you).

Tbh it comes across like she's describing women who don't have the emotional maturity to not use their partner as a validation machine, which is probably what led to them being single in the first place. Although, don't get me wrong, men invented the masculine/feminine social roles to set up the dynamic of "you're a retarded princess baby and I'm your knight in shining armour and you will fawn over me when I do things for you." but even men get bored of their own patriarchal fiction when they can't keep up with their own idealised role. For some women, when they get stuck in "passive mode" it's difficult to get out of afterwards because it becomes a habit.

However dating requires financial stability between both partners and social ability to bond well, and the inner personal standards to not use your partner to "prove" they love you via money and sex. It sounds like she's describing these types of women who do not have good sense of selves, especially the last part about having no hobbies or interests or the confidence to even book a table over the phone. Meanwhile my sister is bi and has a good job, and because she is a go-getter, she ended up marrying a lesbian who also had a good job kek. So now they have a double income with kids and basically holiday wherever they want around the world. If these women the OP keeps meeting actually want successful relationships, they're going to have to actually treat their girlfriends like equals, and to even do that they're going to need to actually get hobbies and break free from the passivity.

So she dates a few boring women and it's a bisexual problem. This isn't even me putting aside that the phenomenon she mentions is very real, but it sounds like she dated some very boring women and is trying to make their blandness related to their bisexuality and not just the state of being bland.

This is heterosexual behavior bleeding into a lesbian couple. It makes sense for hets because women do give back a lot (a baby, lots of empathy and making sure he's satisfied, forgetting yourself …). So men have to take on the provider role if they want their couple to survive the test of time. Bisexual women who behave like this still operate on a heterosexual logic
>A lot of the male gender revolves around spending money, planning
This is not true though. Women get financially abused left and right these days and they do most of the work when it comes to planning etc. I think this user just dates women who see her as a sucker because she goes along with their entitlement instead of giving it up early
>expect you to carry the convo
This is so real. Being expected to be chased after or expecting you to drop everything in a second for her, even if she's not romantic at all and not approaching you in an appealing way (when they do, u-hauling suddendly becomes way more attractive kek). In retrospect i always wanted to ask the few women who acted like this "you know i'm a woman, right? I'm not desperate for pussy in the same way a man is"
>I assume there's got to be some upsides and downsides compared to dating men besides the mere bodily differences, right?
It depends on what you like. Have a friend that won't date women because she noticed lesbians are too obsessed with each other and it becomes overwhelming, leads to intense drama. I think she's not being honest with herself (she's actually straight) but she's right on that point. I heard that from other people and i definitely noticed it myself but i personally love the intensity. It must be exhausting after a while though. Like, i still need my alone time, i still need some distance here and there otherwise i go crazy. I'd add being expected to have telepathic abilities and knowing what they want before they even voice it. But all of that is alright in comparison to the entitled type of woman.

Any other here who doesn't like butches/stone butches/studs that act masculine? It's not a matter of aesthetics, but like how they act? I don't like when moids act like fuckboys or alpha males, so when a woman does it, it makes her to me extremely unattractive. I'm not saying that I only date femmes but idk, I'm feeling much better with people that I could relate to and share interests and just by refusing a butch once, she called me a faker. It's not only about the vagina, I'm afraid…anyone else having this experience? Sometimes I feel that some butches act like pickmes towards men and want desperately to be one of them and act like them, the butch I turned down was the only girl in her friend group and the only difference in between her and her friends was that she was a woman, idk it was a bit uncanny but at the same time, me being a femme makes me unattractive to other femmes? Living is suffering.
Anyway, >>550152 , I feel you. Sometimes my brain makes me dream these fuck all sex compilations like you said and in particular, it puts me these situations where both men and women crave for my body parts like they are some sort of forbidden fruit and women are always fighting for getting a grab of my legs in particular and I also feel their soft bodies, it's hell.

Innate because I always remember liking women and I felt extremely out of place from middle to high school for not liking men. Turns out I also liked men but only very specific ones that of course you wouldn't find around you when you're school age and it got refined and shaped once I was an adult that realized that there was nothing wrong and I could date whatever the fuck I wanted and also do what I wanted so I gave in. I remember finding (yeah stupid thing but try to be in my childish me shoes) ecchi manga hot as fuck because I could almost feel the girls on it and then when I touched one irl for the first time, I totally fell. To this day and age, for men, it's very hard for them to catch my attention and if I didn't feel any attraction for them, considering it's very selective and particular but I'm still a victim of it, I would probably identify as a lesbian

I think it is true for especially bi women who have mostly dated men that initiating things can be hard. But I feel like usually it is more insecurity than feeling privileged and will become more balanced over time. Applies to sex as well, inexperienced women might just be passive because they worry "doing it wrong." Sure some people are simply selfish in bed but Im pretty sure that is much more common in men.

About the money, I have only ever dated one moid who wanted to pay for things because it is manly or whatever, other times we split. With my ex gfs I used to pay a bit more because they were still students and I was working. (Same age they just studied bigger degrees than me kek.)

Because I have no real friends, just acquaintances (that would be a red flag, right?) and I live with my parents.

Like, you wanna come over…. to my parents house? Say hi to the folks, gf of two weeks! i'm not even talking about fucking I just mean generally like in the early stages of a relationship having to see your s/o's parents if you wanted to drop by is weird. Right? I don't know, I've never dated before.

Also I'm scared I will have a severe mental health crash if I embarrass myself, or something doesn't work out. Because I have OCD and ruminate on everything. So basically

Is it wrong for non lesbians to use butch and femme? I’d never thought about this until I saw some lesbians complaining about it. I thought butch was just an adjective and could even be used for masculine straight women.

I have always been attracted to women, but growing up, I felt like I had to be attracted to men like normal girls my age. So I pretended to like them, a lot. I started simping for anime boys, I found youtubers that weren't disgusting to look at, and basically acted out this crush phase when I was 13. I realized I was bi around high school, but I noticed my attraction to women was much stronger than it was for men, so internalized homophobia made me date men more often, even if I wasnt actually attracted to them. I started to think I might even be a full blown lesbian, as I realized that all this love I showed for men was nothing more than an act, and I embraced being SSA. But I think the years and years of gaslighting myself into liking men actually did have an effect, because after a lifetime of solely being attracted to women, I started finding my best guy friend attractive, both physically and emotionally. I have no idea what prompted this change, because it happened literally about a month ago. I know I'm bisexual now, because I'm now dating him, but it doesnt feel like a forceful chore the way it did when I was forcing myself to be OSA. So, to answer if its innate or not, I really don't know if I psyoped myself into liking men, or if I was always like this and just never felt true attraction to a real life man.

Yeah butch/femme are equally stupid as doe/stag. Why do we need to categorize ourselves as either feminine or not, even apart from scrotes who decided what's feminine and what isn't?

"She" writes like a moid. "She" said that things ""can"" be unfair for women in het relationships (I guess that was a way to appear nuanced) before saying that women definitely benefit from unfair expectations of men because women don't have hobbies, women are catered to, women don't pay, women don't drive, women don't plan, women don't do any labor/efforts, and finally women don't give orgasms. Ridiculous. Def a moid or a uber handmaiden. If you don't like the woman you're dating and this is what you genuinely think of her, just stop dating her.

Not every person who uses these terms is "caring this much", it's just a label to discuss your preference. It's so true that butchfemme can turn into gendie-lite. There are people who try to play it up because they don't know how to simply exist without performing something (a lot like TiFs). At the end of the day there are still going to be masculine lesbians and the women who are attracted to them will find ways to name them. It's not always retarded or sinister
>"She" writes like a moid.
>women who say things i don't like must be moids
KEK her complaints are really common though. Anyone who's had to deal with women on dating apps knows how passive women can be, for whatever reason. Ironic that you rail against gendies but think that women with unusual problems ("she's too passive and expects me to be the man even though we're women" as opposed to "he's too insistent") must be LARPing moids.
>If you don't like the woman you're dating and this is what you genuinely think of her, just stop dating her. The only reason moids keep dating women they hate is to have sex
Yeah women never take issue with the behavior of the people they date, if they do they must "hate" them and only want them for sex. Not to infight but what is it with women and comparing lesbians to men? Happens all the time, not just with anonymous posts. I'd like to know what's so compelling about it
>saying that women definitely benefit from unfair expectations of men because women don't have hobbies
The way it was phrased was odd but it's true, a lot of women are underdeveloped when it comes to interests because they will just reflect whatever their boyfriend is into. It's yet another consequence of hetero norms and it's not surprising a woman would take issue with it. She (like most lesbians or bisexuals i assume) wants to learn more about the woman she's dating, there is genuine interest. Your "women are moids" line doesn't even make sense. Anyways i think she worded it like that because lesbians have little to no experience with men, so they often don't understand that women do all sorts of things even if it looks like they're completely passive. For eg. giving orgasms is non-negotiable, but maybe she thinks the entitlement she's facing extends to men. She doesn't realize those women are this entitled because they're with another woman, on top of the heterosexual script they're used to

Kek this is ridiculous. Not dating moids doesn't mean that you're blind to what women are expected to do in relationships (even non-romantic) and how men treat them. In fact, she seems to think that she's quite the expert in het relationship dynamics. I'm not saying she's not allowed to complain about her ex that was never planning or initiating things. She keeps saying "women in general", "the vast majority of women", "almost every straight or bisexual woman" followed by some retarded generalization. Almost every woman refuses to split the bill? In the West? Please kek. A shit ton of them are out there funding their bf. Def feels like rage-bait, also with the bit about men doing all the labor in the relationship and being expected to pay for nails and hair, but hey let's chalk it up to having met wildly different people in life then. I hope she gets to meet one of those rare hobby-having women one day, they're great.

Picture terminally online lesbians discoursing with terminally online bisexuals and being territorial over terms invented before any of them were even born, used within working class lesbian communities that will never exist again. Instead of following each other and dating each other, they were yelling at each other to "NEVER USE BUTCH AND FEM IF YOU'RE NOT LESBIAN!"

She was extremely unusual looking in general with cute feminine facial features but masculine overall facial proportions. She also was stylish, lanky, and wore male clothing. And her voice was smooth as butter, quiet, and relatively low pitched.
Based on this, you'd think it was just a simple case of "straight girl temporarily confused by handsome woman that will clear up once her brain realizes she's not a man." But it wasn't that, because from day one I knew she was a woman and was attracted to her as a woman. For some reason that made it way hotter. I lost so many hours of sleep masturbating to the thought of fingering her and eating her out and strapping her and every type of dirty fantasy you could think of. She had a very cute butt too and looked great in low rise jeans but she only wore that style once kek I think she was self conscious about it. Despite her styling she had a pretty girly and gentle demeanor. I think all the contrasts are part of what drove me crazy. But that bit me in the end since she wound up being straight. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WHY COULDN'T SHE BE MY CUTE WIFE I will never get over her it's over for me anons put me in the ground.

It’s so weird how masculine looking women can just glitch other women’s brains like this. There’s probably at least a billion (I’m being literal) otherwise straight women who would go for a sufficiently handsome fellow woman. What does this say about female sexuality? Or is it just the same as straight men who go for cross dressing “femboys”? So I guess the real question is what do these phenomenons say about human sexuality?

No. 582317

>>582248
My theory is that straight women are attracted to masculine beauty most, so a pretty, masculine woman can cross the wires a lot. Its also why straight women are rarely into hyper feminine guys in real life. Really feminine men are usually with men, or date bisexual women who are attracted to femininity and masculinity. Bishies don't count, they fall a little closer to androgynous than hyper femme.

ayrt, I've thought that too, but it sounds so much like troon ideology to say that people are just attracted to masculinity or femininity first and foremost and the parts don't matter for the majority of people. Are they right about that? Or is most of the "straight" world actually bisexual? Because it seems like it has to be either one or the other.

ntayrt but while people don't like it when you say sexuality is fluid (and just putting it like that is a cop out for a lot of bullshit so I get that), but I think there's some truth to it. I do think orientation is innate and can't be changed, but attraction is a complex phenomenon cognitively speaking, so sometimes someone can just hit the right patterns for your brain and you feel something even if you wouldn't typically be attracted, and if that feeling is strong enough your preferences might adapt and stretch around that to accommodate it.
I think a lot of essentially monosexual people have some latent potential for bisexuality, but they could go a long time or their whole life without the right conditions to activate it and never know.

That seems pretty accurate to my experience. It makes me terribly depressed though because it really does mean that the one who got away was one in a million for me.

>Or is most of the "straight" world actually bisexual?
It's a known thing that straight women often report attraction to women (idk if that attraction is deeply felt or simply vague arousal. Seems like it's the latter). Lesbians are more specific about what sex they're attracted to in studies. I also feel like takes about sexuality being fluid are what happens when you generalize straight female sexuality to everyone
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11588947/
Plus people overstate their changes in attraction, i noticed this tendency within myself. Your orientation isn't that fluid if you're bisexual, it's just that no one can be constantly attracted to both sexes at once. If you fall for a woman, or a succession of women, they will be your world for a while, and you might think you're gay, or 100% straight if you prefer men. Anyways i found a study that confirms this old hunch. Sorry to be a nerd about it but i had to kek

>and that among all sexual orientations, bisexual individuals were the most likely to report any change. Furthermore, we found that change in self-reported sexual orientation was not reflected in genital arousal, providing tentative support for the notion that self-reports may overestimate change in sexual orientation.

I don’t think straight moids are any less “fluid” than straight women, if anything they’re probably moreso. They probably wouldn’t say they’re attracted to men on a survey but most of them can get turned on by a another man who looks sufficiently “feminine”

nta but a lot of straight identified women are actually just bi women attracted to masculine people but masculinity in women is rare because it’s stigmatized so they don’t come to this realization.

lesbians who like masculinity realize this because nothing else turns them on. so when they come across a masculine woman they have an epiphany.

basically the bi women who prefer femininity in women are more likely to be out and aware of their sexuality because there are more feminine women whereas the bi women who prefer masculinity in women are less likely to be out because there are fewer masculine women.

where are you getting that most women prefer masculinity in women? society rewards women for being feminine so it would follow that most people, regardless of sex, would prefer femininity in women and this is true from what i’ve observed.

I meant in terms of sexual attraction, not in general. I'm not saying no one likes femmes but the percentage of SSA woman who prefer butch or butchish women is pretty high I think. And it's kind of a stereotype that bi women who like feminine women are bihet pickmes who prefer men.

Gaydar is hard to explain, i've had (rare) moments where i'd see a woman and a voice shouted "lesbian" in my mind even though she looked completely average. Then i learn she has a wife or something. It's crazy and it doesn't happen for every SSA feminine woman… I don't know why it's a thing, probably has to do with body language (???). The one thing i clock when it comes to style is vintage fashion. Femme lesbians love vintage fashion kek. Dressing in a very elaborate way that pleases women is another cue, it doesn't have to be alt

I can’t get over my first female crush. It’s been 2 years and I still could cry about it at the drop of a hat. Every time I think I’m making progress I’ll have a dream about her and it will remind me how I have been suppressing how intensely beautiful and charming she was. I so badly want to move on and find requited love, but even when I find a woman cute, I can’t stop automatically comparing her to my first crush. That’s why I can’t date. I don’t think it would be fair to whoever I’m dating to have the afterimage of my first crush always overlayed onto them, with them never measuring up.
People always say you need to either give it time, or find someone new. But I’ve given it plenty of time to no avail, and I can’t find someone new because I’m still completely heart and soul hung up on her. I’m getting older now, the last bits of youth are rapidly flying by, and I’m wasting it hung up on someone who I can never have. I’m wasting my life.

Dating doesn't have to be that serious from the start. Even if you're still missing your crush, the easiest way to get over it at this point is to open yourself up to new people. If you find someone you really connect with it won't take you long to get over it, and if you're not feeling it just move on.

Dw nonnas even I understand it's weird, but we graduate at 16 in my country so she got invited to the party by her co-worker which is why she was even there. I definitely mentioned it because it was like "realistically the 31 year old would have been the more moral outcome, but because he degraded me and the entire female sex, the 10 years younger girl somehow came out as the better option from the night". Like a dark joke because it's so inappropriate. For clarification, I'm not actually going to pursue and have sex with her, we would not have anything in common to uphold a relationship and I'm not the type to use (or be used by) someone for "fun".

>>583462
Done and done, nonna. You might be right, I've been told by one of my childhood friend's housemates that I'm so zen he feels calm around me which was really sweet. Plus I supported her in a small court thing and won the appeal she was involved in by using my observations of her life as evidence that contributed to her case. I'm definitely gonna let that friend know what happened since she's influential in the group and doesn't humour creeps (she told a guy off for me who sent me a thirst trap on the first night we met and then asked me for pictures kek, and since then he's not shown up in the group again). Basically because I'm new to this group It's difficult to know where I stand within the social dynamic so early on, not to mention it's quite a large number of people within it so there are a lot of opinions involved. I'm well-liked so far which is good but lol it's such a pain when guys do things like act so horny it makes them retarded. Outside of the group I'd just give it to them straight.

It’s just that they only ever have to encounter one bad person to generalize the entire bisexual population. But my favorite is when they describe dating a “”bisexual”” who clearly did not even like women and wouldn’t have gay sex or makeout or anything. My friend, that is a straight woman. It’s not our fault straights are retarded. The issue is that like 50% or more of self proclaimed bisexual women are actually just straight women traumatized by relationships with men. And then that becomes our problem.

Oh yeah, that doesn't count because they'll be gayer than bicurious heterosexual women. It's kind of awkward when you can smell repressed bisexuality coming from a "lesbian" but can't say anything for fear of being wrong or coming across as rude. Plus it feeds into the stupid lesbian identity contest some women engage in. Still, there's always something that confirms this impression kek

Yeah I always wondered about bi women saying there lesbian because of ( perceived?) Vitriol towards their sexuality from their preferred dating pool. Imo; i also see it as a side effect of women not having their preferences and boundaries respected ( a lot of bi women may overstate the effect of muh mean lesbians in their lives when what pushed them to id as exclusively SSA could have been their annoying ass family member or friends constantly pushing dick on them when they don't want to for whatever reason, not now nor never. If a bi women has never had an actual rl relantioship with a moid it can be easily hidden so I do think it's a smokescreen some lesbians don't know about due to not interacting with different types of bi women. Same as there's definetly finner details idk about lesbians so). All repressed bi who used to ID as lesbian had that crossing of boundaries and persistent moid shoveling as a trend along or even as much as just hating moids in spite of attraction. YMMV
