I'm so shocked. This school year it seems like everyone is a bisexual or gay. No lesbians yet. I'm not shocked my new guy friend is gay...becauase well I don't think I knew him well enough back then to care. But my long time guy friend told me he was bisexual. I always suspected but I just thought I was being stereotypical. "he" told me that he was always but ignored it....I don't know why I'm so shocked about him being bi! I think its because he use to like me a bit, and I did to..but then I didn't wanna like him because I was shallow..I still wouldn't go out with him. however!!!!!! Why am I so shocked????? He told me out of the blue..and all I could was stare....Also I know its cruel to define someone's sexual orientations but do bi's tend to like girls because they look like men? or what?

So shocked

Well, you get over it I think....One of my best friends is bi...My bf doesn't know it, but he is SOOO sweet, I actually had a relationship with him for like a year before I found out. I think it is the heart that counts. My friend is a wonderful friend, and he excepted my shock, and we worked through it. I still talk to him on a daily basis, and sometimes they are the best, beacause they are open minded..Good luck...that is just my experience.
-
Oh ya, in my case, he likes women for being sexy women, and men for being sexy men...not for looking like the opposite sex...but again, that is just with my friend.
-
I totally get what your saying, like everyone and their mothers are bi or gay all of a sudden lol. As for the attraction think, rarely are guys totally (like 50/50) bi, most have a lean to guys if they even consider themselves bi lol.
-
Do you think these days people seem a lot more accepting of peoples differences, hence being Bi, isn't seen as wrong anymore, so more people try it, and admit to it?
-
I think it's always been 'Tried' but yes with peops being more accepting, its announced more often. Some people are shy to tell, and sometimes it is a sign of what kind of person they think you are if they tell...as in they TRUST you, and think you aren't going to disown them for it. My friend is about 45, he likes women best, but was "raped" at 14 by a male, don't know if he liked it(he said he did) or has just "lied" to himself and by still experimenting, he made his bad experience a good one...but until recently, he hasn't discussed it openly. His wife knew,(he's a widower, not divorced) but since it was taboo, she never discussed it. I don't think that there is more of it, just more openness about it...
-
Being bi or gay is still very taboo in america's culture, especially amoung some young people, but it's getting to be more acceptable by society, which is a good thing to know that society is indeed moving forward.

Being gay or bi has come a long way, it is far more acceptable now than ever before, especially where I live. My friends and I joke around and all that, and I have my suspicions that one or two of them may be either gay or bi, but it wouldn't change how I see them or talk to them.
I used to be quite shallow too, I couldn't talk to a gay person without thinking that they might be hitting on me. Oh god I was so self obsessed, although I am devilishly handsome. :grin:
I've come such a long way since then and I'm happy with who I am and with all those who are happy with themselves. Except Last who has become an abusive prick. :grin:
