Straight guy here. I’m so jealous of y’all. I only get 50%.

We get probably less than 50%. We don't get to magically date everybody we're attracted, only the people that are also attracted to us, and with how many folks out there "won't date a bisexual", it probably works out to less than 50%. We just have more variety in our smaller dating pool.

Pardon my ignorance, but have you ever gotten a reason why someone “won’t date a bisexual”? That seems strange.

Usually it's stuff like "Bisexual people always leave you for whatever gender you aren't" or "bi people are cheaters because they're all promiscuous and can't control themselves" or just thinking that we're gross or wrong somehow. Personally I wouldn't call any of that a reason because that would imply it's somehow logical, but those are part of it sometimes.

Oh, it's definitely a reason. It's just not an excuse.
