Not Straight After All, Hey-O! 11 years, 9 months agoThis is so funny, just today in a comment i was saying there should be a group for the late bloomers on account of how we’re in much different circumstances than the younger queers are.
I mean even just beside the how to meet women aspect. You know?

Not Straight After All, Hey-O! 11 years, 9 months agoDream, I was fortunate to chat with someone on line which led to a meeting and eventual romance. I have been hit on by three other womyn but IO have never been the pursuer. I guess the easiest way is the net because for me I am not a drinker so Lesbars are not a place I want to look for companionship. I’m sorry, I guess that isn’t too helpful.

Fencestraddlers 11 years, 10 months agoSo, I am a 20 year old college student who had very homophobic parents and so when I admitted to having feelings for a girl i was so harshly reprimanded that I refused to even look at girls but the problem now is that I am finding girls more attractive and I’m just stuck on how to separate whether im just bisexual or just hetrosexual and curious.…[Read more]

At what point do you reveal that to someone? I mean, it seems that whenever you feel comfortable makes sense, but there’s a part of me that worries about being misleading to people. Then again, ANOTHER part of me is like, saying something like, “hi, I’d like to ask you out but I identify as questioning” seems like an impossibly scary thing to do…[Read more]

Thank you for the advice! Ya I havent been able to get the courage to ask out any girls because I feel that because I’m questioning that they would be turned off by it. I guess it comes from that stereotype that gay’s hate bisexuals. I’ve had a few friends tell me about it so its hard to get over that fear quite yet
-
Madeline, you are pretty damned awesome! Thank you for sharing your thoughts about this with us! And Lauren — I hope you find the courage to ask out a really cute girl!
-
Late reply but: Omg I totally feel you — I’m a 21 y/o college student going through a similar thing. Help you figure it out/have figured it out in the months since you posted, and come back here to share your wisdom/brave stories with the rest of us.
Good luck!

Fencestraddlers 11 years, 10 months agoI’m a 3…(is there a 3.5??) but things have shifted as I’ve become more comfortable with being visibly bi/queer and sleeping with women on the reg and not just as an occasional whim.

Not Straight After All, Hey-O! 11 years, 10 months agoI’m 37 and I’ve been out of the closet for a little over 2 years. I’m happy to be out, but what do I do now? I’m talking about dating. I haven’t a clue how to approach a woman. I think about doing it and panic. How did men work up the courage to come and talk to me? Geez…

Fencestraddlers 11 years, 10 months agois there a better word for homoflexible?
-
kinsey 4 maybe?
also, you’re awesome, I’ve never met someone who identifies on the gayer side of the spectrum without declaring themself full-on gay (not that there’s anything wrong with where ANYONE falls, etc etc, but it’s cool to find people who occupy the less common parts of it)
-
are mostly-homos rare? do you think most fencestraddlers are kinsey 3?
-
most fencestraddlers I’ve met are between primarily hetero and perfectly in the middle, though that could be a result of how much easier it is to find hetero action (sheer numbers, etc)
-
It’s a lot easier to find heterosexual action purely based on numbers, and also because a lot of lesbians don’t want to date bisexual women, whereas straight men are usually fine with it (although some are a little TOO fine with it and for annoying reasons). From what I’ve heard from bi men, it tends to be the reverse with them – gay men are…[Read more]

Most I’ve met tend to be kinsey 1 or 2s…don’t run into many who were 3 and up.
-
Most of the bis I meet IRL tend to be straight-leaning (1 or 2), most of the ones I see on this site tend to be gay-leaning (4 or 5). In both I feel weird for being pretty 50/50!

-
I’m definitely on the “gayer side of the spectrum” but continue to identify as bi, not lesbian. Kinsey scale I’m probably a 5, but continue to recognize my attraction to men.
-
-
To me, ”heteroflexible” and ”homoflexible” always implied kinsey 1 and 5 respectively – someone who is predominantly one way but will occasionally dip into the other end of the pool/is not closed to the possibility that they might be a little bi. I’d say 2s and 4s are bisexuals with a preference. That’s just me, though.
-
now what, exactly, is the difference between 4 and 5?
-
Well, here’s the full Kinsey scale –
0 = heterosexual
1 = predominantly heterosexual, only incidentally homosexual
2 = predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual
3 = bisexual
4 = predominantly homosexual, but more than incidentally heterosexual
5 = predominantly homosexual, only incidentally heterosexual
6 = homosexual-
yes — this i understand — but what about the difference between romantic vs. sexual attraction?
and about actual behavior vs. desired behavior?
past vs. present vs. future sexual encounters/relationships?to me it seems so complicated
where am i-
um i realize you posted this ages ago, but i just joined the group and saw it. i’ve always wondered this too — i’ve had more actual hetero encounters/experience, but tend to want/desire relationships with women more, and feel more strongly about those relationships, i think? i think in some ways the kinsey scale is a bit limiting, and what you…[Read more]
