I don’t think we’re against them. But we do scoff at the notion of bi-phobia; the only aspect of bisexuality that’s ever been clamped down on by law and by society is the homosexual aspect. There have never been laws that singled out bisexuality for jail or punishment; only homosexuality. Bisexual people are highly fortunate that they can incline towards their heterosexuality if they so choose, and thereby conform to societal expectations. And many of them do just that.

As a gay man, I’ve found my Bi friends live in deeper closets. Hell, more like submarines. Some are full on fuck buddies and great in bed. But will not acknowledge me in public, ever.
When they’re not in a relationship we’re friends in public: their submarine has surfaced and it’s shore leave! Once they start dating again WOOP WOOP DIVE DIVE
I hear from them when they need their ass pounded. Or they just want to hang out and talk. It’s good.
When I was younger, it pissed me off. I’m more empathetic. Balancing relationship and sexual needs isn’t easy when you’re gay or straight. It looks to me like it’s 4x more complicated for Bi men.
While most of my bi friends are monogamous in a relationship, some are heteroromantic only. It’s like being Bi has its own Kinsey scale and gays can be either threatened or judgemental. We keep expecting Bi men to conform to our expectations the same way straights expect us to conform to theirs.
I really like my bi buddies. I like their masculinity. I like how verbal and intense they are during sex. Most have a similar background to mine, so there’s a common outlook and perspective.

To R7s point, I had not heard any real anti-bi sentiment IRL, except maybe people sometimes doubting that someone was really bi (versus.a stop on the way to gay.)
On DL, however, it seems a number of men--seemingly from smaller, Flyoverstani towns--have had bad experiences with self-identifying bi men who use them for sex and occasionally friendship--and then dump them when they find a girlfriend. Or they freak when the DLer wants to get serious because the bi guy says they are just fuck buddies, that he's not into romantic relationships with guys.
That's what I've gleaned from around three years on this site.

r18 - those are interesting reasons. I've also read a lot of bisexual thread over the years and I also base the following on what I've read and on my life experiences as an openly gay man now in my 60's.
I think that a lot of gay men are jealous that bi men can have it both ways. Even though thing are better now, it's still not great for gay men. The majority of the American population doesn't like gay men - they are tolerated at best. Parents hope their children aren't gay, and they hope their neighbors or coworkers aren't gay. Straight men are often openly hostile and straight women are condescending. Thankfully there are plenty of exceptions but homophobia is alive and well in the USA.
I think lots of gays have gay-voice or gay mannerisms and they can't really hide their homosexuality. And I think it's these gay men that have the most issues with bisexuals.

Yep, r20 is spot-on! Apparently a lot of DL men are very stereotypically gay older men, and they really resent not only bi men but also masculine younger gay men who fit in with mainstream society. It’s a resentment of those who can pass or be accepted by mainstream society that precipitated the animus.

Any person should be cautious in judging others. As a 58-yr old male college-educated professional married 33 yr's, w/2 adult sons, and 4 grandchildren, I finally resolved w/myself that I am bi-sexual about 15 yrs ago. Not easy, by any means. I've gotten it on w/2 different guys and have had many, many challenges meeting others in a similar situation. I use this extremely elementary analogy - it's somewhat similar to liking both chocolate and strawberry ice cream and society's norms telling you - you have to choose one flavor for the rest of your life!

I think, for whatever reason, an awful lot of gay men have had really REALLY bad experiences with bisexuals. The ones I have known have been, for the most part, duplicitous and subversive and cruel. Some, I think, have been full-on sociopaths. Just a really bad "vibe" around them.
And, as others have noted, they have sure done ZERO for gays. They get their freak on and then go right back to their girlfriends and wives. The whole "best of both worlds" thing. Even with a clear understanding by the gay guy that it is only about the sex, the bisexuals (I have known) just give off a creepy or manipulative or "cold" vibe. Something is "off" about them. Not nice people. Users.
Of course, I am making gross and perhaps unfair generalizations but this seems to be the siren call of many gay men. There seems to be an odd sameness to these stories.

They also have a tendency to assume that everyone else is bisexual and exists on some sort of spectrum. It's incredibly arrogant and offputting as when straights think their orientation is the default setting.

Just like you do with your gay friends, we relate on multiple levels.
I’ve found too many gay men seem to have this antipathy and anxiety about everyone else. Hey, I have mine too so I get it. But I don’t have any about bi men. It’s good. It’s not a date, it’s just a buddy situtation. I have no interest in anything other than whats happening. Zero. No romantic interest.

I have no antipathy or anxiety about you or anyone else, I have insight into how you comport yourself and regard gay men from what you've told me. You seem anything but confident in your masculinity and project this on to others. This was evident from the moment you used the term "straight acting" while referring to yourself as a homosexual. That's a paradox. No gay man is "straight acting" because straightness is characterized by an exclusive attraction to the opposite sex.

R58 You seem more obsessed with this than is healthy. You have no actual “insight”, you simply project. One of the struggles we’ve overcome since the 1970s was that nobody could compel us into a sexual definition. Yet, DLers seem to believe they can assert a definition for someone’s sexuality if they’re not a “gold star gay”. That’s childish.
Your entire statement was post hoc ergo propter bordering on Alice in Wonderland’s Bookworm’s “the word means exactly what it means when I mean it”. By your sloppy logic, a gay man who was attracted to a woman - once - and has sex with her is no longer gay, he’s bisexual. How about a gay man who has sex with an FTM? Are they bi now since they’ve penetrated a vagina?
You lack coherent logic but youu also take on responsibility for defining other peoples lives that isn’t yours to decide. If a woman says she’s lesbian, she’s lesbian. You don’t get to argue that with her because she was (a) previously married to a man and had children or (b) was previously male and transitioned and is now lesbian
It’s really not up to you. As for what is straight-acting, I see no evidence you understand the basic term as infer it’s determined by penis in vagina sex . That disqualified you entirely from any conversation, and I suggest you ask an actual straight man what “straight acting” means.

You're so very confused, R61. I don't do the whole gold star thing and know many late in life homosexuals. You however are not gay in any sense of the word, you're an imposter. We don't want you. No one is gay because their girlfriend "seriously stomped the fuck out of their heart" and then elects to be with men as a result. Passing yourself off as a "straight acting gay guy" in order to take swipes at actual homosexual men is especially bizarre given this. The only one not confident with their masculinity or sexuality is you. You are bisexual.
Even more bizarrely, you bring up gay men having sex with female-to-female trans individuals. Another paradox. Gay men are not interested in the female sex, period, testosterone and breast removal or not. You assert there is such thing as a male lesbian and that humans change sex. This is nonsense.
I reiterate-sort yourself out-you're not one of mine. You don't elect to be gay. You certainly don't say you are and then call gay men "prissy" for not being "straight acting" and do the whole "lesbian with a penis" bit. I'm embarrassed for you.

Bad experiences with bi guys who just want sex when it feels like there's a deeper connection there must leave the gay guy feeling like shit (R18) plus a lot of guys who use "bi" as a stop on the way to Gayville.

And yes I believe many gay men tell themselves they are Bi, while they are really gay, but, so what? You have to live your own unique life, so make whatever choices you want and you think best.

I sometimes feel like the only bi woman in the world who isn’t an abusive psycho, as all the ones I’ve known or dated or befriended have turned out to be either disordered, unpleasant or lesphobic on some level. Some particularly nasty closeted ones even stalked and slandered me. The last one I encountered cut me off cold one morning out of the blue, because she realised she hadn’t told me that she had a kid and a husband of whom I was about to discover the existence. Insane. In my youth I was like catnip to batshit bi girls.
I prefer to hang out with lesbian or straight girls only now, where possible, because I know that way I can eliminate some major ugly drama down the line. I try not to lie by omission and always cop to bisexuality if someone asks me if I am, but given how awful most bi women tend to be in my experience and how bad our rep is I don’t advertise that I’m bi either. I just let people assume what they want and behave according to what that seems to be. It is duplicitous and I’m not proud of it, but as you’ve read I have my reasons.
As for bi men, I don’t know. I’ve never dated one and to be frank the thought doesn’t appeal. I’ve only ever been close with two openly bi guys, of whom one was a cheating narcissist womaniser who bullied me and the other a manboy still playing with Pokemon cards in College.
If I know someone is bi I just give a polite civil wide berth. Lesbians and gay guys are the ones I seek and are my favorite people, and straights are just ok (tbh I find the men are frequently either gross morons or creeps and the women often boring or conformist).

R75 I can see your points. I think we are what we are and we enjoy what we enjoy. Some gay men are horribly insecure and have turned into neo-Trumpists when it comes to who's Gay or Bi. You can't be sufficiently Gay to prove it to them. You have show your papers or you're some kind of illegal alien they want to deport to Hetero-ixico.
You see how worked up they get. I haven't had sex with a woman since 1984, but the fact that I have at all makes me "Bi" and therefor a class enemy or some bullshit. This is partly why my straight friends find a lot of gay men childish, and my bi friends won't get near a lot of gay men.
That's not meant as a sweeping generalization. On the whole, gay men have come an astonishing distance. We're not the simping, effeminate "Boys in the Band" stereotypes we used to be. The small numbers who are easily threatened, for whatever their reasons don't represent most gay men who frankly don't give a fuck.
Nobody's really that interested in bedroom politics. More often than not, when someone gets so over the top about bi men, it's a woman trying to pretend she's a gay man but fails to fool anyone.

I get it everyday in sales negotiations where the idea is for someone to put you off your game to gain an advantage. In your case, you think hostility gains you an advantage, when it just illustrates your own APD issues. Had you engage in therapy, you'd be a happier person today and you wouldn't be so desperate to convince others they're wrong about their personal histories and experiences.
You have a remarkable hostility to other people who don't agree with you. That's something you should consider exploring with a therapist to uncover why you need to be in control of other people. Everything you wrote about vilifying and mocking? That's your playbook.

R105 How silly of me. You'll project endlessly because you need to control the narrative, so you're going to write the ending and then rewrite everything else to suit your predetermined ending. Nope. Totally gay. That was the love of my life up until 1984. You have a remarkably rigid mind.
Reminds me of this horrid boy who kept pursing me on Grindr. Convinced himself he'd get into my bed. It would never happen. It was a "boil your bunny" stalker if ever I saw one. A couple of years later, sure as hell - he's hooking up with a friend of ours and trying to convince us it's a relationship. Nah, he's just a mouth. He wants to project this image of confidence but he's an emotional mess. He has sex in the bathroom at bars and then a complete meltdown claiming his uber didn't pick him up. It's just his way of manipulating people.
Several of us won't get near him. We see right through him.
It's the same with you anti-Bi types. It's totally cool that you personally don't want to date a Bi guy. It's not cool that create a sweeping generalization that you turn into frau drama (and, yeah - most of you are women, not men) who engage in your typical piling on hostility which is consistent with every DL frau thread. You can never admit you're wrong, because well -you're fraus. This is one of the highlights of a frau thread.
Anybody who spends any time on DL knows that a thread about Bi men knows this a toxic issue because fraus are hyper threatened that Bi men are going to dump them for another guy. So, here's what happens. Some of you demonstrate more than a little APD. That's your issue to deal with, not mine.
You don't get a veto over my life and we don't have a Union of Gay men who own the branding of who's gay, bi or not. At my age and my experience I'd love to know who you are so I can ensure I don't accidentally fuck you. That would be awkward. Since you're fraus, that's a guarantee I won't. I haven't accidentally tripped and had my dick fall into a vagina in a really long time. I get that you're envious that I've had a much more adventurous sex life than you and I'm sorry you have such anxiety about your men.
That's too bad. It's not the bi men that are the cause for your anxiety. It's you.

I'm not bi, but am "married" to one. The Bi guy upthread is right, one of the reasons bi guys hook up with other masculine gays is because we have more in common. I wouldn't call myself straight acting, that's an old term eldergays use. Masculinity has no relation with sexual orientation. It is true, as far as I'm concerned that femme gays loath bi men because they usually hook up on the DL but won't acknowledge them in public. It's way more common to see bi guys acknowledging a masculine gay guy as a friend or lover, that's my experience. My experience tells me also that usually its the effeminate gays that hate bi men more often.

R149 yep it gets complicated because we can only define sexuality through self-identification and a lot of people are not honest to themselves about their own sexuality or have other issues clouding their self-assessment. I found that a lot of bisexual people seem to be very confused about the duality of their attraction. It's like they really wanted to define themselves with a single factor concept and got frustrated when they couldn't. Sometimes it's about gender stereotypes in sex. I knew a guy who started as straight, then came out as bisexual, then said he was gay, and only recently admitted he was bisexual all along but also liked to be submissive in bed, and it brought him to the idea he could only be a gay bottom because "women are all bottoms" or some outdated crap like that. Basically he dated soft traditionally femme girls and ended up dissatisfied with their sex life and so he thought he was gay.

R148 because you cannot be a vegetarian and eat meat. Those two conditions are mutually exclusive. Any sort of attraction beyond 100% exclusively aimed at one sex means nonbinary sexuality, be it bi, pan, fluid, queer, whatever you like.
Now there is a different point. Does monosexuality even exist as a permanent condition instead of a temporary one? How can you be sure that you will never ever experience attraction to some group of people based only on the fact you have not done so before? The only moment of time when you can say with absolute surety that you have never sexually and romantically wanted a person of the certain sex is on your deathbed. When you have no future and thus no possibilities. Otherwise, you just never know. It is not possible to know for sure.

And why do they think it should have worked? If a 50/50 bisexual person tries to have sex with a random person they aren't attracted to, it won't work either. If a gay guy tries to have sex with a random guy he doesn't find hot at all, it won't work. Sexuality doesn't work that way.

I am gay and I think part of the bias against bi people is specific to gay people, and part is less specific.
Less specific: The ‘otherness’ bigotry. Just like some straight people automatically hate gay people because we are different and something that they can’t compute, they believe it is a choice, and it’s a choice they resent and oppose. In the same vein, this is where human nature reveals itself to be universal: we know that being gay is not a choice because it’s our nature. We know being straight is not a choice because most people are straight by default. We don’t accept that some people may be oriented in both directions because we’re not, plain and simple.
Specific to gay people: A few things. First, many of us have known gay people and have witnessed celebrities who ease into coming out by saying they are bisexual—yet after that, they only have same-sex associations, and so that builds an assumption that people who say they are bi are just gay and in denial. Many people who once came out as bi eventually say, ‘I’m gay; I just couldn’t admit it until now.’” That compounds the assumption. And then there’s an idea of competition or dilution of the gay-rights movement—pay attention to us specifically, not to *all* of us who are different! And then there’s a competitive idea of wanting people who are into the same sex being exclusively into the same sex, because it’s disappointing, for example, to be into a guy who turns out to be into a girl...and then later into a guy. It’s more difficult to define, and people do like to put things into well-defined categories to make sense of the world.
Ultimately, I think that people who are part of the majority and mainstream tend to condemn people who are not. When gay people are oppressed, we are more open minded and accepting because there is a more limited pool of people with whom to associate. When black people are oppressed, same thing. When women are oppressed, same thing. Once anyone’s group is generally accepted as ‘normal,’ then people within that group are free to hate others who they determine to be abnormal. White-majority people always felt black people should be “normal”—meaning that they should behave and dress and speak like white people. Straight people felt gay people should be “normal”—wear the uniform, play the team sports, marry, have kids, etc. Gay people still feel bi people should be “normal” gay people. You’d think by now, and of all people, gay people would just accept others exactly as those people feel themselves to be and express themselves, but that’s not human nature. If you’re a freak, then you are not as judgmental of others who don’t fit easily into a category. If you’re maintreamed, then you can’t resist judging others by your standard of normal.

R163 If you’re applying personality disorders broadly to subpopulations, would you say that narcissistic personality disorder is rampant among gay men? And/or body dysmorphia? I am gay, and from what I see among gay men (and admitting this about myself), I feel that these are omnipresent—at least one of these applies to every gay man I have ever known. It’s really telling that #instagay became a designator primarily of guys showing off as much of their naked bodies as is allowed on Instagram.
If we’re going to pigeonhole entire subpopulations of people this way, then it’s only fair to be honest about ourselves. Grindr and Scruff as objective views into gay mens’ psyches: the majority I see in any city to which I travel is gay guys showing off their worked out bodies in endless photos and reducing other men to their list of demands: be hot, be fatless, be muscular, be white, have a big dick, be a top, no fats, no fems, no asians, and if you don’t meet these demands, then please go be straight because we don’t want you. The “hottest” guys who check off the “musts” are the most narcissistic and held in the highest regard by gay peers.

I see so many narcissists online who I think really nust desperately want to be fucked by themselves and who see presenting as gay as a way to justify their gratuitous self-lust.

Oh and if we are dissecting groups of people based on their conspicuous deplorable behaviors, who wants to talk about gay men who only associate with other gay men who pass the gay version of the paper-bag test? “You must look EXACTLY LIKE ME to sit with me.”

R164 "Grindr and Scruff as objective views into gay mens’ psyches:"
Oh cute. A gay man that learned what being gay was all about on scruff and grindr and who signs his posts "Gay men are pathological narcissists." What you fail to realize, young sir, is that in all your disparagement of the gay population you yourself fall into a category of vain and superficial homosexual men that despise other gay men because they do not model themselves after you. You're a hypocrite.
I can tell you, you feeling the need to write "not into the scene, straight acting" on your grindr profile as you undoubtedly have is at least as much of a cliche as any of the things you've mentioned.
You entered this thread self-flagellating about gay men's treatment of bisexuals-- even writing extensively about an imagined trope where we deny bisexuality exists. Meanwhile, a bisexual male three posts above yours was the one insisting homosexuality is a phase. Yet not a word on that. You have a lot of growing to do. Your hangups will not serve you well in life.

R169 A few things...
1. I did not exempt myself from those observations. I do think that if we gay men are going to go in on bisexual men and any women and allege generalities about them, then we should be abke to admit them about ourselves.
2. I’m 40 now, and so not exactly young.
3. Strange (and wrong) to assume that I have ever referred to myself as “straight acting.” I’m...very gay. Half the people on the phone call me ma’am. (Someone once told me I sound like a menopausal woman.) Home videos of me at age five reveal obviously gay mannerisms. So no, I have never had any illusions that I am straight acting. And I certainly have in the recent past been as self-absorbed and body image-obsessed as I describe above, which I do believe is a broadly applicable stereotype of gay men. I don’t prize “straight acting,” though, as any sort of prize and in all honesty—to the contrary of a disturbing share of gay men—I am drawn more to gay-acting gay guys than to straight-acting ones.

by Anonymous | reply 172 | December 9, 2018 10:48 AM |
R172 Zero. But I’ve only dated a slight few gay guys. All of us have had hangups to greater or lesser degrees.
I’m sorry I don’t specifically hate bisexual people? I just think human beings in general are very messy and mostly miserable, and it becomes more apparent the better you get to know them.
“Normal,” typical, average, inside-the-box straight people are equally fucked up. They have multiple personalities, presenting as Ozzie and Harriet publicly, using strapons privately, and then fucking around when the cat’s away. We only see it when political scandals out people who we assume to be aberrant, but I think they are pretty typical. Everyone who has secrets and everyone who has some kind of past traumas and everyone who abides publicly by rules of polite society has psychological issues.

R141, any bisexual man I've ever been with is very happy to be serviced, not so interested in giving any pleasure back.
For instance, you'll never get a better rimming than one you get from a gay man. And a bisexual man will never rim you. Just sayin'.
There's a difference. Nobody loves a man's body like a gay man. Period.

R131 I've had some like that. Some are the opposite end of the spectrum. It may be a distinction in want of a difference in that I'm a dom or service top depending on who I'm with and some guys either want to give as much as they get, others want their needs to be taken care of. Out of 3 bi men I currently see, 1 absolutely will not rim at all or blow without a condom. The other two - they're 100% down for everything and one is pretty heavy on the kink side. I think you're pretty spot on about the level of attention they get from a gay man, though.

"Now there is a different point. Does monosexuality even exist as a permanent condition instead of a temporary one? How can you be sure that you will never ever experience attraction to some group of people based only on the fact you have not done so before? The only moment of time when you can say with absolute surety that you have never sexually and romantically wanted a person of the certain sex is on your deathbed. When you have no future and thus no possibilities. Otherwise, you just never know. It is not possible to know for sure."

R183 You should test your ability to understand what you are reading before you question other people's intellectual capabilities. Never in that quote I'm saying anything about a phase as the term stereotypically applied to sexuality.
Although this is a typical point of comprehension between binary and nonbinary views; the first one perceives the very idea as a threat to sexuality somehow. Even the straight side which was never oppressed for it.
Think about it in an abstract way. You can say, I absolutely reject the theory, because a theory is singular. But sexuality is based on human interaction and perception of other humans. Every new human you come across is able to challenge your idea of attraction simply because they provide a new and different experience. All sorts of extrapolation are based on the limited sum of past experiences.

A little tip. When you use an online thesaurus to enhance a statement, you need to make sure the sentence actually makes sense. A scientist extrapolates information from a set of a data, a layperson infers or assumes.

So sad crazies took on this thread. I've mostly dated bi men in my life, totally by chance. I'm a masculine gay guy but I've known of more femme guys also in relationships with bisexual men too, it's less common but it does happen. This idea that bi men are selfish and won't service others, is not at all my experience. I've had serious relationships with them, both monogamous and open and they were both great. My former boyfriends would gladly rim me for hours and loved the touch of another men, the beard, the cock. Some, not all, did have a problem sucking cock, but they loved jerking me off and fucking a guy with a hard dick.
Sorry to be explicit but my point is to show that maybe some random hook up will get you selfish bi men who couldn't care less about you, or maybe you make yourself devalued, a lot of gays put themselves into submissive positions to serve the "alpha male" in a similar behavior lots of women with no self esteem do. If you value yourself and know how to play this game, the response will be more positive. I never had problems with my bisexual lovers, they loved taking care of my needs and I loved to reciprocate as well.

Bisexual men have shown through their words and actions how they view gay men, and it has not been favourable. What I find hilarious is that when gay men acknowledge this and choose the prudent path of only dating other gay men then they are accused of biphobia and branded as bigots. Meanwhile, of course, none of this applies to bisexual men who allowed to express their preference for only dating women or other bisexuals. It's this weird "we don't want you but how dare you not want us" thing going on.

R211 If someone experiences attraction to both sexes, they're bisexual. It is not for you to say that the commonly agreed upon meaning of words and reality itself can be thrown out the window because someone doesn't like what words mean. You're a lemming if you think otherwise.
You're basically saying there's multiple interpretations of what 2+2 is and I'm somehow oppressing someone for explaining that it's 4. How stupid.
Late-in-lifers are NOT bisexual because they always know something's not right. The love isn't there. Being in love with your girlfriend who "stomps your heart into a million pieces" or whatever and then ELECTING to be with men from there on out is not late in life homosexuality. The reason he got called out is because he pulled the whole "I'm a straight acting gay guy hur hur" thing when in fact he isn't even a self loathing gay man, he's bisexual. End of discussion.

Dude ADMITS he dated men BEFORE the love of his life (woman) who dumped him, then went back to men. He's NOT gay. There was no pressure on him to date women in the first place since he was dating men comfortably, so throwing himself in with late-in-lifers is entirely inappropriate. He also thinks women have penises and men have vaginas so no wonder he's so confused.
Stop enabling him.
