    You shouldn’t care, but most straight women do. Straight women are uniquely prejudiced against bisexual men.

    I for one want to know what the hell is going on in the heads of the handful of bisexual women that wouldn’t date another bisexual woman. 🤣

      I’m confused by the 15% of bi men who wouldn’t date a bi man. Like 3% is within stupid people levels, but 15% is a bit much

        That’s cowardice, put data in there. Just by statistical aberration you get a number that is probably not zero.

          Amusingly, you could probably get numbers for straight:straight if you specify that the activity is strictly dating, and the relationship is platonic.

      Maybe 1/3 of straight women, 2/3 of bi women, and most gay & bi men is enough of a dating pool, though? I’m sure not near 1/3 of straight and bi guys would be into me personally.

      And I can believe the 2/3 thing. I land in the 1/3 and it feels like a minority view.

        Ok, but it’s not about being into you personally, it’s about rejecting you based on a marginalized group you’re a part of that shouldn’t be an issue.

        Within the lesbian community that 4/5 is something we had to work for because biphobia was rampant among us for a long time, and we’re still working on it.
