First let me begin by being PC. Where I'm from its more socially palatable to be a lesbian or a bisexual woman. Personally, I would be mortified if a potential suiter told me he was bi. Yep, I guess I'm one of "them" on some level. And yes, the thought of HIV is ingrained in my brain. However, even if the threat of HIV were not a possibility, I would still not be interested in a bisexual man or a guy who was just "experimenting."

Hi FF,

No, I could not knowingly participate in a relationship with a man *****adily admits have been in a relationship with another man.  I don't know if there is a double standard or not...I would be more concerned with HIV/AIDS and to know that he has been with another man and to proceed, I just could not do it.  I know it is a risk either way because he could be a man on the "down low" as well.  Protection is vital!

What's crazy tho, is that way back in the day, i used to mess with this guy that everybody said was gay. To me he didn't seem gay, just one of those pretty boy niccas. But anyways, it kinda made me wonder, and when I got pregnant with my first child a few years later, the nurse asked me if i had ever been with any bisexual men.  I stated yes.

I guess, if i dont know..if he dont come right out and tell me,  I'l give him the benefit, unless its painfully obvious.

But if a man came right out and said, hey, I'm a bisexual man...i'd pass. That is, unless he's fine as Boris Kojo, then I just may have claim the blood over him and hit that.

I guess I'm waaaaay open minded. I would date a man that had been with a man in the past. Straight, bi, whatever we're getting a HIV test before we go raw dog anyway. I guess I'm into people who aren't conventional. What I mean by that is that I appreciate someone that is willing to "do them" no matter what society's views are concerning thier choice. I also appreciate honesty...that speaks volumes to me.

I wouldn't date a man that was dating other men, just like I wouldn't seriously date a man that was dating other women.

I've never been approched by anybody that told me to my face that they had dated men, but I'm sure my position would still be the same.

^5!!!!  It's about being true to self - not conventions, morals, society decisions on behavior - if at the end everyone behaves responsibly to take care of HEALTH and SELF - who cares???

Hell to the naw.No No.It's toatally differnent for a guy.They love bisexual women.With a man,women know that they can never satisfy the man if he has already been to the other side.

To answer your question YES there is a double standard regarding how bi-sexual men and bi-sexual women are viewed.  I think it is because many bi-sexual men are on the down low and being on the DL makes what they do appear dishonest.

NO I would not knowingly date a man that has had past relationships with men.  I say it's because of STD's but that is just my excuse.............. it's just not something I would knowingly choose to do and feel comfortable with, I'm really not sure why.

Yep... there is a double standard.

I wouldn't knowingly date a man who had been with another man.   I just couldn't be sure if he was with me for the right reason.  I'm thankful that I'm married because I would be catching hell trying to date here in Atlanta.  There are so many men hiding in the closet here it is ridiculous.  I just wish everyone would be who they are and stop all this hiding.  Because there are so many black men in the closet I just don't buy the bisexual argument at this point in time...they are gay or straight... no middle ground.  Once everyone is out then I will re-evaluate my opinion.

My sister dated a man who said he was bisexual.  He was not bisexual in my opinion because he only dated women when men were unavailable.  Funny thing is that he was in the military... He dropped her like a hot potato when he found a man.
