singlelife Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Nothing wrong with it. But it seems all these bff are also into each other like that. Not 100% but it seems like most girls who date want a bf and keep their gf as well. Am I right?
LittleTiger Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 The words 'wishful thinking' spring to mind!
Citizen Erased Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 In my case, certainly not. They are whiny, clingy, don't have penises and they like Lady Gaga and Rhianna. I wouldn't accept that in a man, that extends to females too.
Mrlonelyone Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 No that's a myth. The myth about bisexuality is that all women are bisexual but men are either gay or straight. The truth is that sexual orientation is more complicated than these labels imply. Scientist who study sexual orientation have devised two tools for this. These are known as the Kinsey scale and the Klien sexual orientation grid. The Kinsey scale is a 0-6 (0 total hetero 6 total homo) scale based on a persons sexual history. The Klein grid is more nuanced and has two dimensions those being physical and emotional attraction. It ask about past, present and ideal (future) thoughts and behaviors. My result is like this. http://kleingridonline.com/images/badges/pp50_pe25_qp39_qe29_ip50_ie29.png Now for an official answer I quote the national gay and lesbian task force. http://www.thetaskforce.org/press/releases/PR_012908 New study finds that bisexuality is a ‘distinct orientation’ in women January 29, 2008 MEDIA CONTACT: Roberta Sklar, Communications Director (Office) 646.358.1465 (Cell) 917.704.6358 [email protected] WASHINGTON, Jan. 29 — USA Today recently reported on a new study finding that “being bisexual is a distinct orientation in women, not a temporary phase.” Amy André, Julie Ebin and Marshall Miller, co-authors of Bisexual Health, published by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Policy Institute, comment on this latest study by Lisa Diamond, an associate professor of psychology and gender studies at the University of Utah. That study is soon to be published in the Journal of Developmental Psychology, a publication of the American Psychological Association. Download a copy of Bisexual Health here. Read the USA Today story here. Analyses from Bisexual Health authors Amy André, Julie Ebin and Marshall Miller From Amy André: “Lisa Diamond’s recent findings come as no surprise to the nearly 5 million women in the U.S. who identify as bisexual. Where Professor Diamond has broken ground, and quite successfully, is in letting the rest of the country in on the news. “Bisexuality, defined as experiencing attraction to other adults, regardless of gender, has often been described by mono-sexual people (i.e., heterosexuals, gays and lesbians) as mysterious and difficult to understand. This is because mono-sexual people take gender into account when assessing attraction; therefore, it can be challenging to imagine that there is a whole world of people out there who don’t do the same. “Half of all those who identify as gay, lesbian or bisexual, identify as bisexual, according to research from the National Survey on Family Growth, as well as other sources. That means that bisexuals make up the largest group within the LGB population. As one of them, I was intrigued to read a recent issue of USA Today. “USA Today pointed out, in an article about Professor Diamond’s work, that ‘[w]omen’s bisexuality [is] an identity, not [a] phase.’ The truth is, it can be both, in the same way that identifying as heterosexual can be a phase prior to a period of identifying as gay or lesbian or bisexual. That’s because identity is entwined language. Identity is about the language we use to describe ourselves to others, to let others know about internal processes and demographic characteristics. Many people who currently use terms like ‘gay’ or ‘lesbian’ or ‘bisexual’ to identify themselves used to use terms like ‘heterosexual’ or ‘straight.’ For some women, bisexual identity is a phase, prior to using a different term. However, for other women — in fact, for most women who experience attraction to other adults, regardless of gender — ‘bisexual’ is the term used most consistently over time to label their identity. “But, as we’re rushing to state that bisexual identity is usually not a phase, it’s important to recognize that there is also nothing wrong with phases. If there is one thing I learned from getting a master’s degree in sexuality studies, it’s that, for many people, sexuality evolves over the course of a lifetime. For example, research from Lisa Diamond shows that many women who used to use the word ‘lesbian’ to identify themselves later in life come to identify as bisexual. For these women, identifying as a lesbian was a phase — but one that was as valid and true for them then as bisexual is now. “Phases are useful elements of the growth process. The problem with phases is when evidence of a phase is used to perpetuate biphobia. The great thing about Professor Diamond’s research is that we can point out the fallacy of the biphobic argument that bisexual identity is always and only temporary — and that that’s a bad thing. “For all women who identify as bisexual (whether consistently, as most do, or temporarily, as some do) biphobia impacts their lives in many ways. While co-authoring Bisexual Health, I read study after study proving that bi women bear the brunt of biphobia every single day. In fact, bisexuals experience more stigma than people of other orientations, gay and straight. “Research shows that there are numerous harmful stereotypes about bisexuality, proving that biphobia is unfortunately alive and well. What I appreciate about Professor Diamond is that her work has the potential to draw attention to the realities of bi women’s lives, and therefore undo some of the harm that biphobia has caused.” With a master’s degree in sexuality studies from San Francisco State University, Amy André writes and lectures extensively on sexuality topics, with a focus on bisexuality. Visit her online at http://www.amyandre.com. From Marshall Miller: “In Bisexual Health, we call for more research into bisexuality and the experiences of bisexual people. This journal article offers just that — a thoughtful, accurate look into the lives of bisexual women. Thank you to the Journal of Developmental Psychology for confirming what the bisexual community has known for a long time: that bisexuality is a real, valid sexual orientation. “According to the National Survey of Family Growth, 2.8 percent of women ages 18 to 44 identify as bisexual. (In comparison, 1.3 percent identify as lesbian.) It's about time someone took a serious look at their lives and debunked the many myths that surround bisexuality. “I've counseled hundreds of men and women who are in the process of coming out as bisexual. Despite the existence of millions of other Americans who identify as bi, they come out into a world where scant information exists about bisexuality, and where the experience of being attracted to both men and women is often invalidated. I'm glad to see research that confirms so many people's experience: bisexuality just as real as being lesbian, gay, or heterosexual. “Some people mistakenly believe that bisexuality is merely a transition stage from straight to gay. Lisa Diamond's 10-year longitudinal study proves that's not true. At the 10-year point in her study, Diamond reports that more women identified as bisexual or didn't choose a label at all, not less. “An important research study like this one is wonderful for bisexual visibility. But that's also just the beginning: bisexual people need resources, support, and information. We encourage anyone with an interest in bisexuality, HIV/STI prevention, or GLBT health to download a copy of Bisexual Health. Many people are now aware that bisexuality exists. What they many not know is that there's a national bisexual community. Learn more here.” Marshall Miller is the founder of the BiHealth Program at Fenway Community Health. From Julie Ebin: “Lisa Diamond’s study provides thoughtful, sound research on bisexuality that takes into account the nuances of bisexual, unlabeled and lesbian identities. This study provides scientific confirmation for what many bisexuals already know: that we exist and we are not merely going through a phase. “As we discuss in Bisexual Health, there is a need for thoughtful research like this study that examines the similarities and differences between bisexuality and other identities. I applaud Diamond for taking this approach and encourage other researchers to similarly compare identities rather than lumping bisexuals in with heterosexuals or lesbians/gays. Researchers who are interested in a detailed discussion of this issue can download Bisexual Health. “Health care providers can learn from this study: It’s important to ask about all patients’ sexual behavior and sexual identity, accepting their self-identification as valid and serving them according to their actual physical and mental health needs. Too many individuals experience biphobia from health care providers, and we need to do better at getting people the care they need.” Julie Ebin manages the BiHealth Program at The Fenway Institute at Fenway Community Health in Boston.

zengirl Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Most women are not bisexual. Some are, just like some men are. And not all bisexual people would need a girlfriend and a boyfriend at the same time. In fact, many are happy to be monogamous. It depends on the person of course, just like with straight or gay people.
waynebrady Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Most women are neither bi, homo or hetero sexual. They are asexual.
Mrlonelyone Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Most women are neither bi, homo or hetero sexual. They are asexual. If I felt like being mean I would write .... Maybe they just tell you that?
somedude81 Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 I would say that there are a lot more bisexual women then there are bisexual men. Also the women who say they aren't bisexual, just haven't tried it yet
depplover_1980 Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 I would say that there are a lot more bisexual women then there are bisexual men. Also the women who say they aren't bisexual, just haven't tried it yet Only because it socially more credible to be a female bisexual than for a male to admit it. I have got 2 boyfriends to confess they have had sexual thoughts about men.
jenifer1972 Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Most women are neither bi, homo or hetero sexual. They are asexual. Time to refill your thorazine prescription
fernotoshi Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 see the most recent videos of girls going wild .........................and yeah!! most girls are bisexual!!! check this link for amazing videos! ! ! ! http://www.ashleymadison.com/promo/simple/redhead/A17805
alexlakeman Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 I Also the women who say they aren't bisexual, just haven't tried it yet Dude, YOU are a queer.. disgusting
Mrlonelyone Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Only because it socially more credible to be a female bisexual than for a male to admit it. I have got 2 boyfriends to confess they have had sexual thoughts about men. As a bisexual male I concur with this. Bi males are treated with a great deal more suspicion than bi females.
Mrlonelyone Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 I believe they have more gayness than males even if the woman is straight. I've seen to much evidence to prove this. See girls kiss, hugg all the time also if one is having a bad time, seen them actually sleep in the same bed together(men just won't do this or kiss casually) How many male kids had pillow fights and did their toe nails on each other?.. Many girls do this. Do guys call each other sweetie or honey?....no. Girls call each other that all the time. I do believe any woman could go gay in th eright place. Men pat eachother on the backside, hug, and pile on top of eachother in the context of sports etc. In fact I would say that sports, the priesthood, and the millitary are the refuge of many a gay man. I don't think many of them painted eachothers toe nails.
worlybear Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 mmmm....no......they were doing a crossword.
anne1707 Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 mmmm....no......they were doing a crossword. I know, shocking. But at least it wasn't sudoku
Mrlonelyone Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Dude, I went to the video store and saw the two hot chicks that worked there, do a cross-word puzzle together while seated with both of them touching cheeks while looking at the crossword puzzle book. I am not making that up.... While it was extrememly stimulating, I confirmed then that woman are all a little gay. I think that says more about you... not to mention your name. Your obsession with who's gay or not. That's a prime sign of being closeted.
