Can you tell when someone looks bisexual?

You don’t have to look for signs they’ll tell you then expect applause.

And when they tell you, you'll think: "Yeah, I remember when I had my first cock."

r1 Only if they're female. Bi men are scared shitless that anyone will think they're less than 100% straight.

It's easy to spot them, they look like this:

Is the guy in OP's link supposed to be bi? He just looks gay to me.

No such thing as bi face because no such thing.

R6 wins this thread already. Case closed.

List all the famous bis and see if they have bi face.

Tom Daley has bi face.

Bryan Singer has bi face.

Dustin Lance Bass has bi face.

Ricky Martin has bi face.

Harry Styles has bi face.

Oh, honey... no.

Bis are the vegans of sexual orientation. They’ll tell you.

r8 is confusing gayface with biface

Lucky kid

[quote]wild how a gay guy is trying to offend my by saying i look like a lesbian.. BITCH HAVE YOU SEEN RUBY ROSE

Intense or avoidant (compared to straight excited or bland, gay horny or shy).

A bi guy will be usually, generally visually more interested in other guys than gays that have have more timid folk involved), but whether they'll act further on it or let the public know about it is another story.

If they're with a woman, that woman has accepted that his jumps of intensity for other men will stay as long as he stays with her. If they're with a man, that man has accepted that his intense magnetism will often will draw in women. Women are more afraid of losing the sexual exclusivity and men are more afraid of losing the romantic exclusivity.

Bi guys would like to be considered effectively straight, but the homosexual wants affect them nonetheless. Reactions range anywhere from burying it like a closeted gay guy, to being really out and open about it and bring truly equally accepting of the idea of staying with another man. Regardless, they look around themselves and see plenty of sexual opportunity (thus the 'intensity'?; are they more sexually-socially charged by environment by more default?) - romantic and commitment is another matter.

This is all my stupid Datalounge guessing, don't take it seriously.

Men who claim to be bisexual tend to have both masculine and feminine features. They can be rather vain and flamboyant. They also don't try to make their voice sound like a woman.

Once more, but this time in English, please, R15.

????

The guys at r12 just look gay

Interesting

More Seth. [html removed]

In other words, R15, they’re psychopaths.

The following men have bi faces:

Billy Joe Armstrong Lil Peep David Bowie

r15 is a misogynist

All the examples of bi-face have very similar eyes.

When I see someone in horizontal stripes, I just assume they're French. This works in groups, too, to figure out who the French one is. Oh! Mime Stripes! Gotta be him!

Oh, children, shouldn't you be working on your algebra homework?

Bi-face

I asked a similar question recently. There was a thread on DL about some new face recognition software that could detect gay men or something like that. So I asked how does this software tell if someone is bi.

Bump

Bowie later revealed he was always straight and only pretended to be bi for publicity. The idea was his wife Angie's. Smart move.

r31, or maybe he really was bi and then he went back in the closet, kind of like Robert Downey Jr.

r32 Possible, but let's face it, highly unlikely. Bowie never gave two fucks what people thought of him and he may have pursued a bigger audience in the 80s but his musical output from the 1990s onwards was as self-consciously weird and progressive as ever, so it's not like he was courting middle America or anything.

r33, who would come out as bi for publicity? It limits your audience, that's why almost all gay/bi stars are in the closet. I think he went back in the closet after he got married, he didn't want people to think he was cheating on his wife with guys.

[quote]No such thing as bi face because no such thing.

Are you youngish or something? (Says the 57 yo gay dude.) As collective misunderstandings go, this one started going by the wayside years ago -- and if you're on the planet long enough and make enough friends, you should have decidedly learned otherwise. And yes, I've met some "bi until graduation" folks and no, they certainly don't represent all the bi folks on the planet.

Soundbite wisdom: Bi folks are people, which means that you can't make a list of your five fave untested assumptions and apply them to everyone. (I know, I'm on DL, but still.)

And, as much as I love me some Bowie, I've long been pissed at him for his dumbass "bi for publicity/branding" narrative. I think he was just worried about the mainstream market value of his music catalog, and bi wasn't testing well with flyovers or something.

[quote]who would come out as bi for publicity? It limits your audience

Not in Bowie's case. He tried to make it in the music business for 10 years before he "came out" as bi. After that he became a huge star, largely due to the publicity he received after the announcement and his adopting the Ziggy Stardust persona. He never denied being bisexual because of his marriage to Iman because he denied his bisexuality years before he met her.

Bisexuality does exist in males, but it's rare. Anyone under 30 claiming to be bi, is just taking a step out of the closet to coming to terms with their disgust for vage.

Also, the general figure that results from polls is usually between 1% and 3% of the population, but in the vast majority of cases that accounts for respondents who identify as either lesbian, gay or bisexual. They group them together. So even at the top end, 3% of the population accounts for all LGB, not just gay people.

R36 were you around in the 70's? He didn't get 'huge publicity' for coming out as bi, most people hardly noticed. People noticed he was a bit camp, and wore make up, etc, but the interview had little to do with it. In any case, Britain was very homophobic then. It was the opposite to a smart move, because it affected his marketing in America as he himself noted later on. He denied his bisexuality in the early 80's when he wanted to make big money with Lets dance, though he claimed he was experimenting when he was younger and just moved over to preferring women. Incidentally he was in a serious relationship with preop transexual Romy Haag in Berlin in Berlin and was told he had to keep it secret by his record company.

[quote]He didn't get 'huge publicity' for coming out as bi, most people hardly noticed.

You're kidding, right?

[quote]If the gesture was meant to shock Bowie's waning career back to life, it worked. The press had a feeding frenzy and kids raced into the store to buy Hunky Dory. "Changes" hit the Billboard charts in the US and "Starman", released in April of '72, would go Top 10 in the UK. That summer Bowie would release Ziggy Stardust, a UK Top 5 album that still sits near the top of critics' lists of best all-time rock albums. And in September he'd release "John, I'm Only Dancing", a single with such homosexual overtones it was judged too risque for release in America.

"He never denied being bisexual because of his marriage to Iman because he denied his bisexuality years before he met her."

Translation: he's actually bi, and just pretended he wasn't when he got older and more conservative - kind of like RDJ.

"his intense magnetism"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

R40 not kidding at all. It might have been a factor but there were other factors as well, Mick Ronson comes to mind. My brother bought Hunky Dory, it had absolutely nothing to do with him coming out. Kids saw him as strange rather than gay (none of us understood what bisexual was, you were gay or straight). I grew up through the whole glam rock scene in the UK, and teenage fans were not obsessed with Bowie being gay/bi.

ugly + desperate = bisexual

But they're not the only ones.

When Lil Peep came out as bisexual, he received a lot of backlash from homophobic, male rap fans on social media. But, his popularity with his female fans and the media grew.

and then he died

Does anyone know if there is any truth to the story of Angie witnessing Bowie in bed with Jagger?

"But, his popularity with his female fans and the media grew."

What female fans?

Bowie and Jagger seem awfully close here.

Stereotypically r49.

Most of the bis I've met were are less flamboyant and socially engaged, but they always let the gay guy in the group know they're bi, but don't spread it around. Many of them I've met are bearded and slightly overweight hipsters.

R48 These female fans...and the ones who have Instagram accounts devoted to Lil Peep

r51, that's a small niche. 99% of women probably don't know who he is.

I dont even know how is the gay face? But about the bi guys i think they look femenine with a masculine vibe around them or italians.

R53, no, those are gay guys, you fool.

R52 I was comparing his fan base with other SoundCloud rappers. Here are some of Lil Peep's fans at his memorial.

R53 Ok mr smart, can you explain me how bi guys look like ?

They look like people.

I mean r54

R57 ??

1st gay kiss (at 1:20) in a music video

R12 who's the blond cutie flexing his guns?

David Bowie and Lou Reed kiss. More chemistry here than when he kissed Angie

R15 is oddly accurate, despite his incoherence.

Bi men are usually a) magnetic personalities that everybody wants to be around; the ones who can take the “gay jokes” too far to the point where it’s suspect, or b) flighty, insecure neurotics who can’t make up their mind if they actually wanna go through with fucking a guy or not. Bi men don’t have the same transformative self-acceptance experiences that gay men do because it’s only a fraction of their sexuality. Gay men don’t have that luxury—it’s all or nothing.

I agree with R63. Lil Peep often made jokes about sucking dicks.

Please, bisexuals aren't any more "magnetic" than anyone else.

If they’re a privileged white woman below age 28, they’ll not only tell you but expect you to acknowledge the immense struggle of identifying as bi within their equally privileged liberal circles before marrying a well off white dude and having 2 children.

Ric Ocasek (an admitted bisexual) had a crush on band mate, Benjamin Orr, before he found out that Orr was straight.

Ben Orr was pretty hot when he was young.

This thread has been brought to you by stupid 17-20 year olds who live on IG and are still nervous about coming out as gay.
