"Yes of course. It’s preference (hate that word!). I’m a bisexual woman who doesn’t meet bisexual men. I don’t see how it’s double standards. " I reckon people say it's double standards to try and 'shame' people into agreeing to meet them after all. | |||

"For example- ... someone has no pics on their profile but won't meet people with no pics. ... someone hides their verifications but won't meet people who hide theirs. ... bisexual women who won't meet bisexual men. ... etc Is it ok to have double standards?" Let’s be honest here for a moment . If it wasn’t ok to have these double standards , the ratio of women to men would be even worse than it already is ! | |||

"I think it’s perfectly acceptable. I’m not sure they are double standards. At least, bi women not meeting bi men is not a double-standard, as far as I’m concerned. " I don't think it is either, I just used it as an example because some people do say it's a double standard. | |||

"Not sure how bisexual women not meeting bisexual men is a double standard - they're completely different things. Of the other things listed - of course it's ok people can choose to have whatever preferences they want on here **so long as they aren't driven by hatred or bigotry** - and shouldn't be attacked for them, neither should they be surprised if having those preferences work against them." ** I'm still (always) trying to get my head round this comment (that gets mentioned by many people in various threads). Your comment on my other thread is helping. | |||

"Everybody has preferences for things they won’t do, or people they won’t meet. It’s hardly double standards just because a third party doesn’t like them." | |||

"For example- ... someone has no pics on their profile but won't meet people with no pics. ... someone hides their verifications but won't meet people who hide theirs. ... bisexual women who won't meet bisexual men. ... etc Is it ok to have double standards?" Women who don't even have a penis who won't meet men with less than 8 inches. If somebody has standards, such as pics or verification showing, which they don't confirm with on their own profile it doesn't matter unless the people they want to meet have the same rules. And we know that some people (mostly men) would email an empty profile, if the box marked woman is ticked. | |||

No, it’s absolutely not ok; however, the fact that it’s not ok is completely different from the fact that you have the freedom to put whatever you want on your profile. People are similarly free to reject your double standards or approach you in spite of them. | |||

"Pointed out to my mom the other day when she hit me, we ran from my father because of domestic violence, yet the only thing I can remember is her hitting me around the head, at full whack with hands, shoes, hairbrush, and belts (buckle end. Told her that's why had I had kids, I wouldn't have left them with her - the bitter battle goes on!" She hit you recently? Hope you're ok. | |||

""double standards" usually used on here by those who don't get what they want or things don't go their way. There is no entitlement and a person has the right to have their standards and preferences as to how they run their profile ect. Accept it or move on I say ??" I think that's usually what people mean when they call something double standards. They are trying to guilt the person into changing their mind. | |||

No, it’s absolutely not ok; however, the fact that it’s not ok is completely different from the fact that you have the freedom to put whatever you want on your profile. People are similarly free to reject your double standards or approach you in spite of them. Why is it not ok?" Because the person who applies the double standards e.g. hiding their verifications while expecting other people to show theirs on their profile, is insulting other people’s intelligence. And as I said before, one is free to do what they want in their profile but also other people are free to think that one is an arsehole. To give you another—slightly more extreme—example, I have the freedom to say in my profile “I don’t meet blacks, I only find white people attractive”. It is my freedom to do so, but that doesn’t mean I am not an arsehole. | |||

"What about men that don't want to meet bisexual females then?? The bisexual arguments are always aimed at women on Fab. That in itself is a double standard. X " Yes, it is absolutely a double standard and it is a stupid one! For example I, as a man who prefers men and has no problem with a woman’s body, am not aroused by lesbian sex in person, like lots of heterosexual men are, but I have never been turned off by bisexual women! And I wouldn’t reject them! | |||

"No, it’s not okay. But it happens all the time. Why is it not ok?" Because it’s hypocritical, which I don’t think is a good thing. It is something we all are though (hypocrites) about all manner of things either consistently or occasionally. | |||

It is something we all are though (hypocrites) about all manner of things either consistently or occasionally. " People will undoubtedly personalise an answer in the purest sense as being a chastisement of how they live. I don’t think for a second that a) bisexual women not meeting bisexual men is a double standard nor that anyone should meet anyone that they don’t want to (and have never posted otherwise). Phrase the OP with same question title and different examples, you’d have got different answers from many. | |||
