Hey how are you OP? :smile:
My opinion is no where what I'd call typical judging from the stuff I've heard/read from other women. But for me if a man was bi or dabbled in some same sex encounters I would have a neutral to overall positive and accepting response to him. I find gay porn a major turn on, it's so tender and sweet, but at the same time animalistic and erotic. I prefer it over any other porn because I like the enthusiasm and the good looking dudes. Who couldn't find this hot:
Big Boy - Gay sex video - Tube8.com or
Buddies N Bed - Gay sex video - Tube8.com
However, over the last few years of lurking on forums of all types, bi and straight women through there 20-50s seem to be virulently opposed to the idea. What is interesting about these women though is that although many of them are bi themselves or have had same sex encounters, they do not hold men that have had same sex encounters or identify as bi to the same standard as they do themselves.
I personally find the arguments of why many women won't date a knowingly bi man immature, petty, bigoted and offensive for the most part. I mean its okay not to desire to date a man who is bi, but why must they add insult to injury by making derogatory comments towards bi males?
For example, they say a man comprises his masculinity and becomes less of a man in their eyes, but that lesbianism is highly erotic and enhances a woman's femininity. I mean the comments that I've read by these women are absolutely cold blooded. A simple no or not my cup of tea would suffice, but adding "ick" "gross" "vomit enducing" "revolting" "vile" to describe man on man action is a little extra, seeing as most of them have never watched a gay porno in their life.
Or they say bisexuality only exists in women and that men who are bi are on the road to gayville or some such nonsense. They see bi men as deceptive and lying to themselves and the women that they are with.
In some cases they add they would rather have their partners cheat on them with other women, but not men...
Some even go as far a saying if a man they were in a relationship with had even one same sex thought and they knew about it that would be the end of the relationship.
Many go to extremes and say that if they unknowingly date a man who was bi, they'd run out and get tested for every STD in existance.
It seems like some women would rather date a man that's been with 1000s of women even if they were prostitutes, as opposed to dating a man that's been with one man. Heck they even give off the impression that they would rather be in a relationship with someone who was a drug user or abusive as long as he was strictly heterosexual.
...But that's the vibe I get from the women on many other forums. I'm not speaking about this forum, because I really haven't lurked enough so I can't say, but I've only heard mostly negative. Absolutely very few positives about bi guys. It's so strange that these women would harbor such harsh judgements and negative stereotypes against bi men as if they are one hive mind apart of one collectoive consciousness, especially since they have never even given one a chance. So how are bi men so bad, yet none of these women would knowingly give them a chance? I'll never understand it. It really makes me depressed at times. I'm a bit of an empath so I often feel when negativity is unfairly projected towards others...
There is no surprise why suicide rates amongst bisexual males from as early as age 10-40 is so high...
However, despite my experience I firmly believe people who are ignorant and pessimistic speak loudest. I do believe that their are woman out there that have knowingly and willingly married/date bi men, but they probably are not very vocal about it and their relationships are probably very clandestine.
I hope things change for the better for bisexual males...but I admit I'm not being too optimistic judging by the opinions I've heard expressed about them.
Despite the negativity I refuse to give into it and although I'm 22 and haven't dated really been focused on my studies and traveling, but I'd have no issues with dating a man that is bi whatsoever. Through my travels some of the most amazing, handsome, intellectual, and unique men were bi or alluded to being interested in other men.
