"This subject has been playing in my mind over and over and I keep seeing it everywhere on fab. First off: everyone has the right to be into what they are into. I am pansexual myself and like all genders. I am part of the LGBTQ Community. It seems that a lot of ladies are against talking to or interacting with bi guys / non-hetrosexual people and I really just don't understand? It really does make me upset to see this, feeling that people are effectively discriminating against me because of my sexual orientation. Could someone please shed some light on this for me?" There is alot of bierasure still in society in general especially in bi guys. I wrote about this in the forum's sometime ago and got the usual sort of answers about bi men being unsafe and desease ridden ect. Also some people don't think bi men are manly etc | |||

"You think they're discriminating against you because they don't fancy you? Where do I go to put in my complaint about being discriminated against for being a short, fat, middle aged woman? It's outrageous!!" Pretty sure that isn't what he said | |||

"You think they're discriminating against you because they don't fancy you? Where do I go to put in my complaint about being discriminated against for being a short, fat, middle aged woman? It's outrageous!!" I mean when I'm reading it in their profiles: "No Bi-Guys" "Straight guys only", that's what I mean. | |||

It's outrageous!!" I think the op said discriminated against due to their sexual orientation not that they did not fancy them. I think there is no easy answer for the whole male bi apart from some people will meet you some will not solely based on your sexuality | |||

"I’ve got some observations which may seem contradictory, but are intended to be helpful! A) relying on the self-assigned sexuality labels on here is a pretty random way of going about things, since plenty of men who are listed as straight are having sex with men. I’m not making a judgment either way on the ‘fab straight’ phenomenon, but it’s a well-documented fact. So thinking that you’re screening out bi men by only interacting with those whose profile says straight is going to be about as effective as using all those 9.5 inchers on here to measure your curtains. B) But if you are bi (or another variant which puts off die-hard seekers for straights only), no point complaining about the people who don’t want to shag you. People do (and don’t) choose who to go for on this site for such a wide range of reasons that getting upset about their prejudices may be politically reasonable, but a waste of valuable profile scrutinising time. Certain attributes are highly valued on here and get a lot of attention, and others are less appreciated. Some people want less attention and keep asking for ways to screen out those who don’t meet their strict profile requirements. Others would be grateful for the occasional robot generated message generated by a Russian troll factory. It’s a jungle and it won’t stop being one. BUT amid it all on here are some nice, friendly honest and frankly sexy folk, some of whom manage to hook up occasionally, and they make it all worth while. Try and ignore the negative stuff and sift through for the positive - there are some great people on here and it’s better putting energy into finding and developing contact with them than getting too hung up on the ones who have decided (for whatever half-arsed reasons) that you don’t fit their criteria. That’s my approach, anyway!" | |||

If you were say just wanting to chat nobody is against you or the community you are proud to be a part of but this for most or at the very least many is a meeting point and if you are not bisexual then therein lies your answer | |||

"Firstly I think there is a distinction between people who are prejudice and people simply filtering who they want to talk with in a view to play with on grounds of sexual attraction. I think most exclude for the later reason which is fine. You could open up a never ending can of worms to investigate the origins of why someone doesn't want to have sex with a certain races, skin colour, sexuality, gender etc. Is it some kind of deep seated hidden societal prejudice that has rubbed of on them through their development? But at the end of the day people have features/characteristics they are attracted to and ones their not. A person's sexuality is one of them. For your wider sexuality (despite that you would have sex with them too) is a turn off, that is their choice and they shouldn't feel ashamed for what they desire sexually." | |||

"First of all, people have a right to say 'no' without having to justify their decision. Why waste time worrying about people who are not interested when there are plenty of people who are. Would you be thinking about the person who said no when your with someone who said yes? Just do you and the right people will come along for the ride." wise words | |||

Some will not play with bi-men due to the risks involved in anal sex. Anal sex is the most risky form of sex in respect of passing on STIs, y avoiding bi-men some think they are reducing the risk. Many of the decisions people make on here are made on perceived health grounds some such as shaving are inaccurate some such as anal risks are accurate, some of these preferences use health grounds as a way to aviod claims of discrimination. Worrying about peoples reasons is not going to change their views best just accept they don’t want to meet and move on | |||

"Thanks for everyone's responses so far. I appreciate all your different opinions and views on the subject, that's what I was wanting to explore. Just to clear up a point moving forward - the point I'm getting at is why it is very common to see people openly saying no to bisexual men specifically. I'm NOT moaning that I can't get meets or anything like that. Finally - I DO NOT appreciate abusive inbox messages. Anyone who thinnks that it's appropriate to do that is okay to do that is severely mistaken. " It is very inappropriate to send abusive messages. I’m sorry that you have had to experience that after only asking a question. That’s fab folk for you, some very unhinged people here. | |||

" As annoying it may seem to you, don’t you think people are saving you time by notifying you in advance, what they’re not into? Following this, many people get annoyed when receiving messages from people who have not clearly read their profile. There are already too much discrimination and injustice in the ‘real’ world, without including it with people’s sexual preferences, too. | |||

"What I have been able to glean from those I know who don't want to meet them...they are perceived as less manly. Whether it is a subconscious link to effeminate gay guys or just that the sex acts involved appear submissive, I don't know. But that is the opinion I have formed. Personally, I wish I was bi. I could have had a load more fun and would not have had issues about crossing swords. As it is, the idea of kissing a man gives me the hebegebbeys. " That is a point actually - I am totally straight and the thought of any sex that is not straight gives me the hebegebbeys, that's just how I'm wired. I'm also not into 'exotic' looking men or any kind of androgenous look - I have met bi guys on here, and will no doubt do so again, but my 'type' is very masculine whatever their sexuality. And yes, MSM are statistically a higher risk group, that cannot be denied. Obviously your bareback gang bang swinger is much higher risk than your average responsible bi guy, but people are totally within their rights to choose not to meet either. | |||

"It's because of the stereotype that they think all Bi Men are walking STDs, despite the same profiles having shagged 30x more "straight" men bareback. It's also a bit hypocritical when same profiles are looking for Bi Women for the man to shag. " Hypocrisy, or personal choice/preference? | |||

"This subject has been playing in my mind over and over and I keep seeing it everywhere on fab. First off: everyone has the right to be into what they are into. I am pansexual myself and like all genders. I am part of the LGBTQ Community. It seems that a lot of ladies are against talking to or interacting with bi guys / non-hetrosexual people and I really just don't understand? It really does make me upset to see this, feeling that people are effectively discriminating against me because of my sexual orientation. Could someone please shed some light on this for me?" Hi - maybe some of the ladies on here are like me? I don't chat to guys on Fab unless I am attracted to them as I don't do long aimless chats by message. So anyone I chat with regularly is someone who I am potentially going to meet. | |||

"You think they're discriminating against you because they don't fancy you? Where do I go to put in my complaint about being discriminated against for being a short, fat, middle aged woman? It's outrageous!!" | |||

Well if you think about it you already know. Bi guys are some of the most promiscuous groups about and often are often blasé about using protection. Its a fact receiving anal penetration from unprotected sex is the most risky practice of all. So with all that its not hard to see why some women will avoid bi guys. | |||

"Thanks for everyone's responses so far. I appreciate all your different opinions and views on the subject, that's what I was wanting to explore. Just to clear up a point moving forward - the point I'm getting at is why it is very common to see people openly saying no to bisexual men specifically. I'm NOT moaning that I can't get meets or anything like that. Finally - I DO NOT appreciate abusive inbox messages. Anyone who thinnks that it's appropriate to do that is okay to do that is severely mistaken. " I like to have a short profile as I don't like long ranty ones - to put all the aspects that will decide I will not chat/meet with you is ridiculous (they include very hairy men, those with no veris, those that live more than 30 miles away, those with piercings, those with beards and tashes, those who are only looking for NSA, those who are always updating they want to empty their balls etc, etc, etc) Fab includes tick boxes for people to show who they do want to meet but not those they don't want to meet. | |||

" What are 'preferences grounded in bigotry'? Why should they 'not be tolerated and challenged'? What should be done in this case?" Same answer as when you asked a similar question a week or so ago - a preference grounded in bigotry in this instance would be someone who was overtly homophobic or more specifically bi-phobic using derogatory terms yes. I think the reason they should not be tolerated and should be challenged is fairly obvious, the same reason as any form of bigotry shouldn't be seen as acceptable. There are any number of things that could and should be done from standing up to the person and pointing out why they're wrong, to reporting them if it's on here and severe enough to merit it. But this is going way off topic, simple fact of the matter regarding the OPs post is it's not worth worrying about why people won't meet bisexual men, any more than It's worth worrying why people won't meet any other type that doesn't conform to their preference. | |||

Expressing a preference isn't judging in the way yiu are trying to imply, it's purely stating that you don't have an interest in something.

I stand by my statement though that there is absolutely no point getting in a lather about people that choose not to meet you - doing so won't change a damned thing. Even understanding why they won't meet you won't change a thing. It's surely better, in this instance, to focus on those (and there are many I know from personal experience) that will meet you. | |||

Can I roll my eyes now too" It was the first hit on a search for “swingers std risk” on google. Want me to keep listing quotes? You made it clear you thought I’d made up my own stats. I haven’t bothered looking up the likelyhood that the man in the moon has a green beard. Every time a ‘swinger’ says bi guys are high risk I find myself looking to see how swingers themselves compare to bi guys when it comes to std and Sti risks. My clinic told me they consider the risks posed by swingers and bi guys to be similar and have consistently said the same to me when asked whoever I talk to and I’m on my second clinic. It’s the kind of question I ask because of cynics like you. Roll your eyes if you like. I’m not apologising for coming straight back at you when you expected me to roll over. | |||

" What are 'preferences grounded in bigotry'? Why should they 'not be tolerated and challenged'? What should be done in this case? Same answer as when you asked a similar question a week or so ago - a preference grounded in bigotry in this instance would be someone who was overtly homophobic or more specifically bi-phobic using derogatory terms yes. I think the reason they should not be tolerated and should be challenged is fairly obvious, the same reason as any form of bigotry shouldn't be seen as acceptable. There are any number of things that could and should be done from standing up to the person and pointing out why they're wrong, to reporting them if it's on here and severe enough to merit it. But this is going way off topic, simple fact of the matter regarding the OPs post is it's not worth worrying about why people won't meet bisexual men, any more than It's worth worrying why people won't meet any other type that doesn't conform to their preference. " It just seems like contradictory statements. Challenge bigotry and don't tolerate it ...but... don't worry about people that don't want to meet bi men. If their distaste for bi men is bigotry and hatred you won't know if they don't actually explain. That's all. | |||

"This subject has been playing in my mind over and over and I keep seeing it everywhere on fab. First off: everyone has the right to be into what they are into. I am pansexual myself and like all genders. I am part of the LGBTQ Community. It seems that a lot of ladies are against talking to or interacting with bi guys / non-hetrosexual people and I really just don't understand? It really does make me upset to see this, feeling that people are effectively discriminating against me because of my sexual orientation. Could someone please shed some light on this for me?" I personally only like men who like the ladies! No other reason! | |||

Either way doesn't change the fact that having a preference doesn't mean being prejudiced or bigoted, and there is a world of difference. As I've said before, I fully accept that, as an openly bisexual man, some people won't want to meet me for any number of reasons and as a result prefer to focus my time on people that will. Simple as. | |||
