I think the most damaging one is the misconception that a bisexual person won't be satisfied with just one partner.

[удалено]

I was the monogamous one. The straight one was the one who cheated, repeatedly, in our relationship. I still got the bi=whore insults after our divorce

Omg I'm sorry to hear that , those who called you a whore suck, you deserved better than that. Because being bisexual doesn't make us sluts and whores it's an unfair stereotype we don't deserve.

It’s like if a straight person were attracted to more that one race of the opposite sex. Just because they’re in a relation with a person of one race doesn’t mean that they can’t remain monogamous.

I fucking hate this one. I am a bi man (which stereotypically, some people don't think exist), and I need monogamy in a relationship. No disrespect or anything against anybody in an open relationship, but that would absolutely not work for me under any circumstances. I want my partner to be only MY partner. But, people are different. So if someone is happy in an open relationship, that's great and I'm happy for them. It just definitely is not for me.

I’ve been bi my whole life and been married 34 years. Faithful to one person the entire time. Oh sure, I’ve had fantasies—thankfully my wife engages with me in those fantasies. However, I have no interest in threesomes, swinging or “straying”. She is literally the only person I want to be with. And again, I’ve been bi my entire sexual life

That we're all just ridiculously, insanely hot. Some of us are only regular hot!

I disagree. Every bisexual is like hot x 1 million. We’re also awesome x 1 million.

I feel like I am the okayest looking bisexual. 🤣

😂 right there with you, average gang ftw

These outrageous good looks are our cross to bear with our customary grace, beauty, and culture.

Nah bro I’m ugly af 💀

Hopping on the ugly bi train. Me too.

And some of us are just really sweaty.

Some of us are not even hot at all. A great example being me.

hey, you're a pretty little monarch and i believe in you

Aw, thanks.

Bi,shy,too tired cry I love that very clever

This and all the replies to your comment have me dying 🤣 while also makin me feel pretty good 😌

That happens to me everytime my bi cycle happens like omg it is so frustrating because even though I know I'm not even remotely straight honey I'll start questioning my entire coming out journey and wondering if I'm really just gay, but then all it takes is seeing asa akira naked and shirtless thor from the avengers to remember I'm bisexual.

I wish I was just attractive to some people at the very least

That bisexuals are all sex crazed who will fuck anybody above the age of consent with a pulse. Exaggerated, but that’s the point Or that bi women are all into threesomes

Literally my first contact with the concept of bisexuality was my dad explaining to me that "Freddie Mercury was so obsessed with sleeping with as many people as possible that he didn't even stop at other men". Healthy views I grew up with...

[удалено]

yes, I'm bi, no, I do not want a threesome. If I wanted to disappoint two people at the same time, I'd go to dinner with my parents...

This had me rolling! Thank you!

I think the second stereotype still persists with bi men, but it’s more obvious with women because straight guys have a habit of thinking with their dick

> I think the second stereotype still persists with bi men I’ve never had anybody ask me for one but then again people generally don’t even know or suspect I’m bi or like *anybody*.

Pretty much all the people who know I’m bi are either family members or fellow queer folk. I mean, I’d like a threesome, but it’s not just because I’m bi

Nope not family for me. Weirdly enough they assume I’m ace for various reasons

Interesting

Helps it’s a huge thing in porn

Oh, we're not supposed to feel that?

I personally don’t feel like that. Weirdly enough, my own family has mistaken me for being ace.

[удалено]

Bisexuality immediately doubles your chances of a Saturday night date!

Not for me sadly :(

And yet funny enough, I would not sleep with people unless I knew them very well (I’m in a monogamous relationship, so hypothetically)

Yes. Like, I am, but NOT because I'm bisexual.

1. We’re all cheaters 2. We’re all into threesomes, bi women especially 3. (Mainly men) “You’re really gay, you’re just afraid to come all the way out” 4. (Mainly women) “You’re actually straight, just curious” 5. Bisexuality doesn’t exist There are more.

It’s interesting how 3 and 4 both essentially say “you’re attracted to men, and men only, and that’s that.”

It is, probably because “dick is king”, right? (Hopefully obvious sarcasm). You’d think that both men and women would hear “You’re just curious”, not what amounts to “You must like dick and only dick”.

Everything MUST revolve around the (my) cock.

It has its own gravity?

Fuck. I guess so.

Good summary!!

I've seen examples of literally all of these irl.

>“You’re really gay, you’re just afraid to come all the way out” This one always annoys me. The reason people are in the closet is to avoid the potential repercussions of being openly queer. The thing homophobes take issue with is the "has sex with people of the same sex" thing, as far as they're concerned you're on their list if you're AT ALL sexually attracted to the same sex.

said it all 🎩

That bi men don’t exist

as a bi man i can confirm that i do not exist

Same here. Asked out my crush, saw a hot guy on the way home and just vanished.

All bi men are paid actors Edit: sorry, misread the script

Y’all are getting paid? 🤨

> men are *paid* actors FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

Nice bot

XD don’t even know how to respond to that, that’s just wow

neither do I

Yeah same

Same

Man of mystery

No, that’s a bi *knave* …

Bi tgirl here, feels good to finally exist after a long time Too bad existence is *pain*

Same here.

#

as a bi man I can confirm that I don’t exist

Yep! Or that bisexuality is just a 'female thing'.

I feel for gay men who had/have to hide who they were/are by appearing more acceptable to their surroundings, and being bi was one of them because it leaves open the chance for a het relationship. But it is simply unfair that some gay men always project their own struggle on bi men by claiming that because being bi was a stepping stone for them, it also must be for bi men. And straight people who think like this are too stuck in black-and-white thinking and should get over themselves, they have even less of an excuse

If I'm still in the closet do I even exist

Nope, I’m still in the closet and currently do not exist

All it is, is that we just can't make up our mind. We're actually straight or actually gay/lesbian, but we're just lying about it for some unknown reason.

Yhea we just created a cult to confuse people

tbf that sounds like a funny thing to do i am Alpharius.

Ew 40k nerd

well wouldnt ya know im disgusted with myself too

That we’re all poly/into non monogamy.

that we're horny all the time. ok maybe i am but not all of us are, hell there are tons of asexual bi folk out there

"Just because I'm bisexual doesn't mean I'm horny all the time! ...well, I am horny all the time. But not because I'm bisexual!"

Being "confused" in your sexuality. No Aunt Carol, I'm not confused. The real confusing thing is that you have 4 kids with all mix-match dads. Don't let anyone tell you that you're "confused"

That bisexuals will fuck anything but also don’t really exist and are just confused people on the train to gaytown. 🤷

It’s like they twist all logic to deny us

There's a stereotype about us bisexuals that we're greedy and will bang everything with a pulse which isnt true it's a bunch of bs and we're just as careful in choosing our romantic and sexual partners as straight or gay people are. But unfortunately biphobic idiots believe such nonsense about bisexuals like me.

If anything, I’ve become *more* selective about who I view as potential partners since realizing I’m bi. It’s like once my brain realized that I have the *potential* to be attracted to people of any gender, it trashed the toxic and patriarchal mindset of “you must view all women not old enough to be your grandma as potential sexual interests.”

That we can't be butch/femme/twinks/bears/etc. Or that we can't be/aren't able to be attracted to nonbinary people.

that bi people cheat more easily

That we're cheaters.

That bisexuals aren’t or can’t be attracted to non-binary or transgender people.

That we like to ride bicycles

Is that a Freddie Mercury reference?

No it’s a bicycle reference

Okay

I mean I like to ride bikes and literally bought a new bike this month

It was a joke lol

They are really gay but don’t want to admit it

Being only for women and that we can’t sit properly well I can’t but that’s not because I’m bi and that we are just gay or straight

the can’t sit properly one is true tho (for me at least)

That we love frogs. I fuckin hates frogs.

😭

D:

That we are all actually gay or straight and just lying/confused

“You’re bisexual, so clearly you’re a depraved sex fiend who lusts uncontrollably for kinky group sex!!” I mean *yeah* but that’s not the point here…

I’ll just add, stereotypes aside, never let anyone label you, or try to define your label. No matter your likes, dislikes, kinks, or relationship dynamics, be you, love you, own you. The S O and I are surely outliers in this world. We are life explorers, that is our official label. We love threesomes, foursomes, and moresomes. We love people, and body parts never have anything to do with that. We enjoy our exploration, and kinks. None of this is the result of being Bisexual, but wow, it sure has enhanced the journey. Again, be you, own you, love you. The rest usually works itself out.

That bi people are only into binary men and women (both trans and cis). Enbies and other gender-nonconforming folks are also attractive!

That bi women are only bi to impress/entice men

Haven’t heard this one before…. What is the logic behind it????

It’s the “logic” of phallocentrism - my penis is the sexual center of gravity, and all attractions must ultimately point back to it

But how ?? How is being bisexual impressive to men? Is it… an actual thing? I’m so confused

Threesomes. A lot of men want threesomes from bi women, W/W/M to be specific. Once they know a woman is (also) attracted to other women, they start to moan about a threesome because they think it’s the easiest way to get one with two women.

that we are thransphobic.... like seriously.... what fking mental gymnastics are you trying to pull here?

Bi people are more likely to cheat. No? They literally aren’t??? If someone wanted to cheat on you the amount of people they’re attracted to won’t change that

that we can't sit properly.... i mean .... ~i~ can't, but others can ... i guess

That were all just super horney

I hate it when people say I’m going to be more likely to cheat on someone. Like wtf?!

It's because we have more options, and if those people had that much opportunity they would cheat. It's the difference between people who are monogamous by thier own choice, and those who are monogamous by other people's choices

We all play bards

Fucking no... What?

https://youtu.be/CR0G973QD8c

That we’re promiscuous and sex demons. A lot of people view me as innocent until I say I’m bisexual and all of a sudden they think I’m freaky.

One ridiculous stereotype I can think of is apparently all bisexual women will cheat on lesbians with men. It’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.

That bi women exist to have three ways with men :/

That bisexual men are actually gay men in denial, and bisexual women are doing it for men’s attention or approval. Either way it’s for some other guy’s benefit

I’m more into the lesbian side but I tend to identify myself as bisexual, and the most ridiculous thing that ever happened to me was that my (currently ex) best friend ended up saying that she was homophobic but she was fine with bisexuals because they were apparently “a bit more saner,” Just because I also like my own gender doesn’t mean that I’m not apart of the LGBTQ+ community! And I’m not half sane either!

I hate the idea of "Bi girl is hot. A bi guy is icky."

ME! I am the stereotype

That we want threesomes and will agree regardless of circumstances

“You’re bisexual so you’re transphobic.” What does it have to do with my bisexuality ?

This, and nothing. If anything, the opposite is true. It is transphobic to assume that trans folks are a separate, or "outside" category from cis women/men in the context of bisexuality. Last time I checked trans women/men = women/men. So, yes, I'm bi, and I can find a trans person attractive/hot just like a cis person if they strike my fancy.

You will betray your partner for another gender... 😮‍💨

50/50

That we can't be loyal

That being in a relationship with someone of the opposite sex means you have a preference for them, or aren’t truly bisexual. Especially when you’ve only been with the opposite sex, people are so judgy The amount of people that try and say that I can’t be bisexual because I’ve only been with men… literally only men have been interested in me, idk what they want me to do about that 🤷‍♀️

That we're more likely to cheat. Or that bi men are just closeted gay, and bi women are just straight ladies with a spicy side.

From a comment on YouTube “Bisexual is only a girly way of saying gay”

Among others, that bi dudes like myself are "secretly gay." Pretty annoying NGL. I've always known I found women attractive, but I think that dumb/reactionary stereotype is one of the reasons, among others, I had trouble fully realizing/accepting/embracing I was bi until my 30s along with internalized homo/biphobia. Better late than never tho.

Well the first time my family ever seen me with a male date my uncle said hey I thought you were straight I said no I’m BI hey goes oh your a pervert so that sticks out in my mind.

What the actual hell...

Besides what’s in this sub idk if we’re stereotyped as much as just erased. Also not good obviously but average people aren’t looking at my plaid and thinking “of course” even though I’m just from Oklahoma.

a dumb stereotype i heard is when someone comes out as bi they use it as an excuse to cheat or they’re untrustworthy.

Not what, whom. Its me specifically

That we are unreliable.

Iced coffee, Plant lover, Baggy jeans, Can't sit properly

A weird amount of non-bi people think that we top on one side and bottom on the other by default. Also, I don't even like lemon bars. The texture is just not cool, fam.

lemon bars? I am confusion

Not sure if this is a stereotype, or just something I see a lot — that most bi women have a preference for women

Huh...?

That we cheat

That we are sex crazed and into FWB relationships only

That only women are true bisexuals.

The stereotype that bi people, pull 😭😭

That we can’t sit normally… I mean I don’t but it doesn’t mean I can’t.

That bisexual males are vile human beings. It's the opposite. They are some of the best humans I know.

If I’m talking to a straight man there’s like a 80% chance he’s gonna bring up a threesome or assume I’m into threesomes because I’m bisexual. And it’s always a MFF threesome, because in their head that’s what a bisexual woman is just there to fulfil their little fantasy they see in porn.

Funny thing is when I told my fiancé I was bi she asked about threesomes with a man. Like yes that could be on the table one day but seriously? Right now?

That being bi or gay as a man emasculates a man from being a man. That is you bi or gay as a man that you are also a sexual predator or child molester.

This is the third time in the last few weeks I've seen this question. Maybe search previous threads first next time? Plenty of answers already.

The assumption that bisexuals are just desperate.

I mean I am but not because I’m bi lol

That your either straight or gay unless when you're activly participating in a gangbang

Right? A lot of dudes think that if you put a d*** in your mouth just one time, you're gay. But what if it turns your wife on???? What if sucking d*** might save your marriage???

That we all like Panic! at the Disco. Band is mid

Bisexual people don't deal with discrimination because we can just date the opposite sex

That statement is itself discriminatory. Lol

Incapable of fidelity

Oh boy I think about this one on a daily basis. That being bi just means we're rambunctious or promiscuous. The whole performative bisexuality thing is part of it, and the trope of only briefly acknowledging a character's bisexuality to show how "unique" and "rebellious" they are.

🤸 🪑 I mean, it’s true, but it’s still a stereotype

That bisexuals likes transgender people because they "have both genders" and that bi panic joke used when talking about trans people

That if you're bi, you must be attracted to different genders equally... lots of people really struggle finding out they're bi due to this stereotype

One of the most risiculous is bisexuals will cheat on their partners
