[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You sound like you're trying to justify being untrustworthy and "promiscuous." No one pushes you to be that way. Own it. We trustworthy, monogamous bisexuals want no association with your behavior.[/quote]

That is literally the opposite of the what the post was trying to convey. The point is that "bisexual" just means "same sex attraction." It doesn't mean anything about behavior. Someone can be bisexual and have zero same-sex experience. [/quote]

What did this part of the post convey to you? "As for #2, this is a self-fulfilling prophecy. The negative assumptions about bisexuals forces them to be secretive about it, which results in situations where bisexuals are "caught" being on the down low, which reinforces the negative stereotype."

To me, that sounded like someone trying to justify sneaking around and cheating, which is what being caught on the down low entails. Tell yourself, "I'm bi, and everyone thinks that means I'm a lying cheater, so I'm forced to lie and cheat." See how self-serving that sounds?[/quote]
