    So I've been out to myself for about a year. Been reading around looking for info and resources. A couple/few times I came across statements about bisexuals liking to make lists. I thought this sounded really ridiculous but since I don't really know anyone else in this community maybe there is something to this. Where does this come from?

    For myself this couldn't be further from the truth.

    I've no idea. First I've heard of this.

    I was hoping you guys could tell me what these hypothetical bi-lists consisted of LoL. It sounded like just getting things organized, lists of your book and movies, to-do's, places one might like to visit, whatever. But, I'm just speculating. One of the places I heard it was on a podcast. I'll see if I can track down the link again.

    I imagine this stereotype more aligns with the belief that bisexuals are promiscuous, rather than the belief of us being tidy people.

    Weirdly enough, a stereotype I've often heard is that bisexuals are very sloppy, disorganised poeple :shrug:

    Maybe you make lists without even knowing that you're making lists. Maybe bisexuals suffer from chronic subconscious list making!

    I've never heard that and can't fathom where it comes from.

    Though I must admit it's one stereotype I live fully. I have multiple lists of things I need to get done, songs, movies, TV shows, books I've read, Tumblr posts I need to show my girlfriend...in retrospect, I may have a problem. :grin:

    Well there you have it! Indisputable scientific proof that bisexuals like to make lists of things.:lol:

    I think this was the episode I listened to on the Bicast where this was briefly mentioned. Bit of a downer though.
