23 Bisexuals Confess The Biggest Differences Between Dating People Of Each Sex

21.

When I started dating women after having only dated guys, the biggest difference I had to adjust to was the way women think. If you’re not careful, they will catch you in a serious mind trap. There is so much more having to guess and having to be intuitive when you’re with women because they expect you, in many ways, to understand what they’re feeling without voicing it. Conversely, women will read a lot into your little idiosyncrasies as well and might try to make something of what are often meaningless behaviors.

I’ve dated two women, and two men. The women were clingier for sure, but I might just attract clingier ladies. The guys were both more jealous than the women, nothing out of bounds, just more deliberately showy PDA if they thought someone might be into me. When you’re dating a person of the same sex, the gender roles tend to fall away. There’s no implied structure of who will drive most of the time, who initiates sex, etc. Not that M+F couples have to do those things, I’ve just noticed that my relationships tend to look like that.

Men: Find the fact that I’m bisexual hot, would either ask to have a threesome immediately or would wait and then ask. More eager, more communicative in general, less independent. Women: Find the fact that I’m bisexual sketchy and generally tend to avoid me. Tend to take things slow, more independent, more likely to have deep conversations but not overly chatty via text. The similarities: Asking my opinion on other women; whether I found a certain celebrity hot or not, what physical aspects I find attractive, etc. Usually rely on me to initiate sex.
