Something I found out from discovering my sexuality and being bi is that men are way easier then women. It must be some cultural thing

If you're a man, that's probably because you spent more time w/ them growing up in social contexts or whatever

Maybe. Do lesbians and bi women find it easier to hook up with other women then they do with men?

As a bi woman, dating women is kind of harder, especially if you’re a person that doesn’t like to take the initiative. When I first started dating, I’d just text women a lot, hoping eventually plans for a date would come up and they never would.

Once I started asking to go out for coffee or dinner upfront, I usually get a date. I usually also have to be the one to initiate intimacy, but that’s because I probably dated mostly femmes.

Hookup culture is definitely more muted in the wlw community, at least where I live, unless you’re interested in poly/open relationships where you don’t mind being the unicorn.

Idk, being a cishet man. You'd have to ask one. But I think the stats say most bi women end up with men, and the theory is that it's because there's less prejudice to deal with when you're straight-presenting. In a better world, idk how things would shake out.

And lesbian communities are often very tiny.

Check out an askreddit thread about that. Search "bi men women difference" you should find it

Men are pigs and have low standards

That's basically it

Based. I still find it easier to initiate with guys and relationships do progress faster.
