    I think it's okay to say you're gay on dating sites if you're a gay leaning bisexual because most of your matches are opposite gender if you say you're bisexual. I don't think it's okay to say you're gay if you're going to cheat on your partner with the opposite sex.

    Uhh, I don't think it's okay to cheat with either sex? Lol.
     
  3. Someone's orientation has literally nothing to do with whether or not they will be or want to be monogamous, so I can't imagine it particularly matters where they're looking for dates or what they call themselves when they get there.

    Orientation is no excuse for doing horrible things.

    My bisexuality has proved a challenge because there is attraction to a lot more people outside my gf, but she and I have an understanding and I wouldn't consider abusing that and claiming it was because of what genders get me going.

    I am pretty sure a lot of people who aren't bisexual have attractions to other people outside of the relationship as well, and I hardly think there is a link there except for who you might find attractive and possibly quantity.

    There could be many reasons why a bisexual person may put gay on a dating site heres an example: A bisexual women goes on a dating site wanting a female partner but heres the problem with putting bisexual she may get a lot of male attention when she wants specifically a female partner. Also I have no idea what you mean by the cheating thing sexuality has nothing to do with commitment. Also what if they do it because how people have that hateful outlook that bisexuals aren't committing people.. I do think people should be open if they are but they may have a couple reasons preventing them from doing so.

    I find this offensive
    Just because I'm Bi does not mean I will cheat on the person I am with

    I usually put straight and here's why
    I WILL date a girl if I'm single
    I WILL date a guy if I'm single
    Guys will date me if I put bi but girls usually won't
    I lean more toward men, and why waste my time on people who think I'm going to "leave them for a man"

    It isn't okay to cheat on/with anyone for any reason.

    It's sad to me that my backwoods, churchy, never been exposed to homo/bi sexualities boyfriend never worried about that when I came out to him, yet I frequently hear/see it from the lgbt and straight communities

    My opinion is that bisexuals should pretty much be underground and just claim exclusive attraction towards whoever they are romantically targeting. Because of biphobia, disclosure of any multisexuality is unwise and should not be made to gay or straight folks initially. I think it's better to get in a relationship with someone who won't have preconceived notions and actually judge you on your merits. Then, later, you can have the whole "ya, I guess I'm bi, and I didn't mention it becuase it's not a big deal" conversation.

    I don't see why I should have to do that any more than a gay person should have to stay in a heterosexual relationship. It's part of me. Same as I don't hide my religion despite many lgbt folks disliking it. I don't hide my style, my feelings, anything, and I shouldn't have to hide my sexuality

    My opinion, if you can't accept me as bi the you can't have me

    You are welcome to do what you want. And I agree that we shouldn't have to do it. However, it is what I intend to do as part of my dating strategy.

    I'd rather not give people the chance to have a political objection to dating me.

    That's you're right to do so. But really, it's starting off a relationship with a lie, or more so a secret. I suppose since I wasn't "out" my boyfriend didn't know at first, however he never actually asked, he only asked if I liked him. It's only my opinion though

    Well, nah. I like hanging out in gay male circles (since not really bisexual male circles, you know, lol) but dating? I'd just be up front with it. I mean, it's hard enough finding a date as it is, regardless of whatever you are. So might as well start off on a better foot, you know?

    It's not starting the relationship with a lie.

    It's social engineering.

    If I am beginning to date someone I suspect might be biphobic, why would I want to tell that person? I have more than just romantic objectives. I have political ones, and I can't socially engineer someone if we have no emotional investment in each other. If we've been in a relationship for some time, and we have solidified a sense of trust in one another, I think it can be appropriate to let them know you're bisexual. Then they can decide if they really want to dump someone who has been completely faithful to them...

    I think people should be 100% honest about who they are. Always.

    It's part of integrity toward one's self, and integrity toward others - particularly others with whom you're in a relationship.

    I agree: A lie isn't a good way to start out a relationship. At all.

    That's like taking off from the starting gate with 5 giant backward steps.

    Except, you know, people will agree that it's alright to have sex with other people. All relationships =/= exclusive. It's only an issue when one party doesn't agree to it.

    Hey if that's the way you want to view it that's fine it's your life. It just dosent appeal to me. It's only my opinion I'm voicing. I wouldn't want to date someone who didn't accept me, because even if they didn't know, I'd know. Every time I thought about or heard them say something negative about bisexuals It'd be hurtful to me.
