    It does hurt the odds though, double the chances to cheat.

      Doesn’t that just mean their faithfulness is all the more laudable.

      But also it’s definitely not double the chances, it’s at absolute best like 120% the chances

        Relative to being straight, but relative to being gay it increases the pool a lot

          True, and yet I’ve still met plenty of lesbians who’ve cheated on bi women and bi women who are faithful to their wives.

            Presumably in a professional context.

            No doubt, this is all stats and theory, it can’t tell you anything about any individual

      This is the sort of shit I hear from fellow gays about bi people all the time. We call it biphobia.

      If the only reason you don’t cheat is because of the lack of opportunities… Then you’re not just a bad person, but you’re probably ugly as fuck as well.

            I reckon aro/ace don’t cheat as much. But if you are attracted to more people then you get more chances. You could say the same of someone with low standards. It’s not a moral judgement.

          Imagine a group of 10 people. 5 men, 5 women. There’s one bisexual guy who’s in a relationship with a woman. Realistically, how many people can he cheat with?

            One is plenty, I don’t think many people use most of their free time in cheating, it’s more opportunistic.

              I don’t think many people Mac or their free time in creating, it’s more opportunistic.

              I wanted to ask if you really think hordes of heterosexual dudes are eager to fuck a bisexual man, but now I see this would be like trying to squeeze water from a stone.

              If one is plenty, it says more about the person regardless of their sexuality than it does of any sexuality itself

                I mean that once you cheat with one person that counts as cheating, and is probably the likely outcome (apart from not cheating at all), unless you’re super efficient and can get round to lots of people or they all work on different oil rigs or something.
