No need for all the qualifiers. I was looking for blunt responses. And I was expecting some hurt feelings from some users. Clearly I hit a nerve, but I'm just trying to have a discussion here.

There's more to it than the simple fact that one is attracted to both males and females. The majority of bisexuals first think they're straight, then bisexual. It's really different from the homosexual experience. And the fact that bisexuals like to use homosexuals for sex and then only have relationships with the opposite sex, or end long, invested relationships where the same-sex partner was completely in love just to throw it all away because they want a husband/wife (opposite-sex) and kids and to be considered normal is just unavoidable. There are thousands of stories like this. Homosexuals have had the same complaints about us repeatedly and it's clearly a pattern. So how can I be upset if someone doesn't want to get burned again and would prefer to date someone of their own orientation? People are free to have their preferences and I can't blame them for it.

I am not sure if 'the majority of bisexuals think they are or identify as straight/hetero first...' I thought I was gay/homosexual and was not sexually attracted to women until I was older. I know other bisexual men who are also like this.
