I'm actually pretty sure that there are enough people of either gender who will not date a bisexual to make the bisexual dating pool smaller than the straight one.
Couldn't they just not state their sexuality openly, but tailor it for whoever they're talking to?
F-F "oh I love women"
M-M "I'm into guys like you"
M-F "you're my type"
F-M "oh, you're very attractive"
No lies necessary
I'm a bi guy. While I'm happily married, I can assure you that if I were looking for someone, I would not do this. Hiding who I am is not fun and can lead to bigger problems later.
I'm pretty sure that figure is heavily weighted towards the gender of the person dating the bi person.
I feel that a lot more men would be fine dating a bi woman than vice versa.
Really? I would expect it to be the other way around
Why's that? Lesbianism/WLW tends to be more normalized and fetishized by men and society, and women aren't generally considered less feminine for being bi. The other way around though often makes people see the guy as less masculine. Its less normalized and people are more likely to just say the guy is gay and if he's a woman there's something hell always be missing.
Hmm but maybe some people especially like bisexuals so it balances out

The better advice for me would have been not get in relationships for much of my younger years. Sub 18 year relationships only really were distractions. Fun though
It's sort of like practice. Young relationships allow you to make mistakes to learn from firsthand while it is less important. Making those mistakes as an adult in a more serious relationship has worse consequences.
For many that is probably true. For others who are hopeless romantics, we run 40 hour a week jobs from 16-18 while balancing a girl friend, trying to run through courses and turn out decent grades and a social life going into college while averaging 4 hours sleep a night. It's fun at the time, but I really wish I would have learned more about taking time for myself and planning out next steps for myself as opposed to just thrusting into as many syllabus hours, while balancing it all going into college. I didn't do bad at the University I went to, but really if I learned to step back and not be facing every challenge at the last minute all the time I think it would have prepped me for planning more of what to do with my time when I'm out of college.
Like get a Job, sure that's a requirement... But that isn't a career to me. A career is planned things you strive for and goals set by yourself to make sure you want to land yourself.
When the courses are done, the hours worked, the goals met. I never learned how to properly make my own goals, just how to follow boring structural requirements... Because you're told you have too. And if you don't come from money, you can't exactly just get a loan to start a company or buy a house because you have a degree... You are 10's of thousands in student loan debt. So you enter a dead end job otherwise you can't pay the rent, and maintain a relationship, help your family, or whatever other obligations you feel you have.
What the hell is happening here?
A tragic tale of a son who gets no tail.
