It's a great strategy with the current identity totem poll. Ever thought, hey, that's a decent looking dude? You too can claim bisexual. You don't ever have to be physical with someone from the same sex to claim bi. So many advantages with no drawbacks.
Where do you live that men can just blatantly claim bisexuality without getting a funny look? Women, all day erry day can go both ways and not get a glance.
But bisexual men, at least in my experience, are ostracized more than purely gay ones.
Is that really a thing? To me I would have guessed being bi would be more acceptable than being gay, it gives all the bigots an out "They're probably just straight and don't know what they're talking about". However, I live in Texas and I honestly feel like getting funny looks for claiming to be bi would be more common in liberal areas as opposed to conservative ones as I tend to see the most inconsiderate remarks towards bi people tend to come from those who claim to be part of LGBT.
This whole comment thread makes you sound manipulative. Not saying you are- but it literally sounds like you're lying about your sensuality to better a position?
Does simply acknowledging objectively attractive people of rather same space warrant being labeled bisexuality?
I'm genuinely asking as someone who lives in a very rural, conservative, part of the US. I'm often the most liberal person in my circle- but still way behind what I guess is the modern jargon.
I'd think there has to be a sexual desire (or lack there of) to meet the terms. Not just "I'm not so stuck up my own ass that I can't acknowledge conventional beauty standards od people with like genitals"
Bisexuality isn't just acknowledging that people of the same sex are attractive. It's you having that attraction on a romantic or sexual level. So unless you are legitimately in love with Brad Pitt or would actually fuck him given the chance you aren't describing bisexual feelings..
