Lack of representation and education. I'm pansexual, and have barely dated let alone cheat. Think about if your straight, there are still millions of people of the opposite gender, but more choice doesn't mean it will change your morals and beliefs that cheating is wrong. Like if, for example, I'm eating vanilla ice cream but someone offers me chocolate, I would decline because I dont like chocolate. (Bi/pan people dont like everyone). Or maybe I'm eating vanilla ice cream and someone offers me strawberry. I like strawberry ice cream, but I already have vanilla. (If a bi/pan person is already dating someone, their not going to go date someone else, just because its available.
Biphobia.
It's not been helped by media portrayals, either. But a lot of people just make assumptions once they know someone's sexuality.
Someone's gay? "Oh that's a waste."
Someone's bi? "Oh, they're a slut."
It's biphobia. That's all. There's no reason or logic, just emotional fear.
u I was married to a bisexual lady. When she wanted a man, I satisfied her and she never stayed. When she wanted another woman, there was absolutely nothing I could do to satisfy hey and she found what she wanted elsewhere.
Our divorce was final within 6 months. I will never again date a bisexual woman.
I can see if I was gay and my partner was bi I would be worried that the desire to have children would pull them to a straight relationship.

I would imagine it's because people prefer those that make one clear choice. The term itself sounds like someone's confused, like taking a two choice test and someone pencilled in a third choice. That and the world loves absolutes.
I'm bisexual, and I can say the media/ film industry definitely gives us a bad rap. Can we have a realistic depiction of what it's like to now be able to BE REJECTED by more people. Just because you are "elligible" to date more people, doesn't translate into your attractiveness going up. It means that you have more crushes on people who have little awareness of what your sexuality means. As a bi person, you probably have more standards. Your dating pool is limited to those who "get and accept you" which tbh kicks out the extremes of both gay and straight communities.
Bisexuality often correlates with open-mindedness. The same way one can be open-minded about a topic, does not mean they are unable to control their decisions and actions.
Because they swing either way and they will constantly surrounded by both genders which increases the chance of them looking at others
that would be the reason why I think some people say that however I personally disagree I think it's an individual thing I don't think it has anything to do with a person's sexual preference if the person's going to cheat the going to cheat if it's in their nature to cheat and they want to cheat it's going to happen
However if they have strong morals and they believe in exclusive relationships then they're most likely going to end one relationship before starting another
Genders and sexual preference has nothing to do with a person being a cheater
As a pansexual myself, I don't get it. Being attracted to more than one gender didn't make me more premiscous or flirtatious, it just made me more nervous around people I liked, because you never know what they think about the lgbtq+ community and that stresses me out.
Something about it just sets off my alarms. It’s like she likes guys and girls. Does she like girls more than guys or guys more than girls? She likes dick but she likes vagina too. One day she could get bored and decide she wants the peach and not the eggplant. There’s too much fickleness in a vital area of the relationship. I’d just rather date a girl who’s 100% into guys. For fun I could see myself fooling around with a bi girl but not for a serious relationship. It’s like dating someone who kind of likes kids when you want to be a parent. Will they decide that they don’t want kids down the line or that they do want to have kids, or will they have kids am realize they really don’t like kids? It’s too much.
I’d just rather commit to someone who’s decisive about their genital preference. It’s kind of important.
I believe it has to do with the fact that since bisexual people are attracted to their gender and the opposite gender people have the misconception that they will be more likely to cheat. I don't believe that sexual orientation has anything to do with who you are as a person and what your values are. If someone is going to cheat, they will chest. If someone is going to stay loyal, they will stay loyal. It's about who you are as a person, not with who you like to get down and dirty with. 😂
The ones i've known of both genders often strike me as the personality types (not as a rule) that "usually" seem like they have higher sex drives than average. And prone to anxiety/insecurity. Just observations from people i've ever met or known well, who were or later came out as bi.
One is not bi because one is satisfied with the opposite gender but because one wants to try out the own gender as well. And where there is temptation there is always a way.
It is just statistically commonsense that if you double the potential to cheat from currently 50% (opposite gender) to 100% (both genders).
It is only a matter of time and the attractiveness of the incentive until the cheating occurs. Guaranteed.
Bisexuality and monogamy just aren't compatible traits- if you are in a relationship with someone who is bi, then you have to assume that they would have cravings for same-sex relations at least sometimes, right? I'm bi, and I crave both - so can I just bottle up one side only and ignore it? Doesn't seem natural or realistic.
Because people are idiots. That isn't exactly groundbreaking news.
The problem is not trusting the bisexual partner, it's that there's a bigger number of people you don't trust that could influence your partner.
Gee, I wonder. Maybe it's because many of them believe their stupid sexual orientation gives them a right to cheat? Maybe because by definition they will always be attracted to people other than their partners? Or perhaps it's the tendancy of many of them to begin normal relationships only to try and force their partners into an "open" relationship or "polyamorous" bullshit once they get their partner emotionally involved? Naah, probably none of that, everybody's just bi-phobic and these poor, poor bisexuals are innocent victims, right?
We don't think. It's something called numbers game. So for example if a gay friends with a male BI, of course her girlfriend will think he's trying to cheat on her with that gay unless if her boyfriend is straight being friends with a gay, it's unlikely for her boyfriend to cheat on her with a gay.
if mean if both partners are bi sexual or one is. but their in a secure relationship. then the worry about cheating is lower. also gives the option to add more people to the mix once in a while to spice things up.
Yes, because they have a shit ton of more options. Rather than one sex, everyone in the entire world is a contender to be a person your partner will possibly cheat with.
Statistically maybe? I don't know. but I wouldn't be (perticularly () surprised if some do take advantage of the 'increased options'.
I’ve known women who have been very open about being bisexual, and they have been cheaters. People who are private about it may not be cheaters, but the ones who gotta tell everyone that they’re bisexual sure are.
More people to tempt them.
... Plus, they tend to be more promiscuous in my opinion
Cause they have more options lol. The temptation is double for them.
I'm bi but 100% monogamous. If I'm in a relationship with someone, I'm not going to go behind their backs with anyone, woman or man.
