    I'd have no problem with it at all. A mutual interest in vaginas, we'd have something in common right away!

    Fecking sure I would. I'm not that fussy.

    OP's next question should be "Would you date a woman who was born a man?"

    Absolutely.

    In fact I would date her as many times as she would prefer.

    That would be a definitive nope.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Unlikely. Oh, I've dated Ladyboys in Asia, but that's a different scenario because they've committed to being that gender, in as many ways, they possibly can (and the culture there often supports them to be more feminine even before they transition). I find, in the west, there's far less commitment towards a full transition.. At least, I haven't met any who floated my boat.

    Back to school please.

    The chance dilutes to 1 in 4.

    Throw in the mood swings and you are closer to 12.5% ( 1 in 8 ) - that is if she changes her mood exactly twice a day, as opposed to twice an hour - which is not as simple as it sounds when you diversify time between when she is eating, sleeping and riding. Ignore reading or watching telly, they are happy then - because their minds tend to be switched off.

    It is never that simple really.

    I don't have a problem with it to be honest watching your partner with another woman is pretty fun. I don't think it means their more likely to cheat. It depends on the "talk" I think to some degree You've have to be excepting that she may want to play with another woman at some point. Truthfully that wouldn't bother me all that much. Its simply a dynamic of a relationship as long as your comfortable with it and you feel your needs are meet it realistically shouldn't be a problem.

    I'd have more of a problem if she was a heavy drinker.

    Being bisexual is stigmatized moreso among men than women. I wonder what you'd think of dating one.

    There's a belief that bisexual people are more likely to cheat which is false.

    I have

    She wouldn't suck the cock and more relevant was that she was mentally unstable.

    Not sucking the cock was an issue particularly as she would elude it was beneath her.

    This thread reminds me of the 1990s film Chasing Amy...

    Outside of one girl in the last 12-14 years they've all been bisexual. It's no big deal if they are or not


  • Registered Users Posts: 220 ✭✭Rx713B


    Only if I could date her bisexual partner at the same time.

    This man speaks the truth

    on the assumption that you want the odds to be always in your favour......

    https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/women-who-stray/201904/why-are-mental-health-issues-greater-among-bisexual-people
    New research published in the Australian Journal of General Practice reviews results of the “Who I Am” survey of 2,651 Australians who identified as bisexual. The study examined their bisexual identity, their current relationship characteristics, their feelings about their bisexuality, and their mental health. The study replicated many historical findings—and demonstrated staggering levels of emotional struggles. A majority of the sample, 58%, reported either high or very high levels of psychological distress, with histories of anxiety, depression, and eating disorders the most common reported diagnoses. And 67% reported they had been diagnosed with mental illness by professionals. Almost half of the respondents disclosed self-harm or thoughts about suicide within just the last two years. More than one in four (28%) had attempted suicide in their lives and 78% had thought about it.

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    I would have to read the full study because in isolation all those statistics are worse than meaningless. They can in fact be quite misleading.

    The problem is that such statistics standing on their own tell us nothing about the topic they are related to. In this case Bisexuality.

    Rather than tell us anything they actually raise questions. Is bisexuality causing something like depression or suicidal feelings or struggles? Or - are things that cause stuff like depression (such as hormonal imbalances) also causing bisexuality? Or is it neither but in fact bisexuality and depression are co-existent symptoms of some other factor or factors?

    Or is it none of that but rather their bisexuality is perfectly ok but the false assumptions - hostile narratives - and claims that bisexuals are more likely to cheat and so on actually causing their distress? For example there is also a line in the article saying "male bisexuals frequently report experiencing greater stigma for their bisexuality". So rather than their bisexuality being a source of their mental health issues - is it societies response to their sexuality that is in fact the issue?

    The only two interesting things in the link for me are that A) Surprisingly bisexual peer support groups were not beneficial to those suffering where I would have expected the opposite myself and B) A predictor of mental health issues stronger than just being bisexual was being in a relationship with someone who was judgemental or phobic of that bisexuality. Two good things to know for any mental health professional who is working with bisexuals.
