@Yinny please give me a female perspective real quick...
How old are you one, that's a preface to my next question!
As a percentage how many black women would you say are bisexual, how many do you think would actually date women?
Outstanding post...
With my girlfriend:
•she isn't overly promiscuous, but I can see it in her in a past life...
•she's faithful, but like most people, I think that's conditional. I'm a grown man, I understand this. She's cheated before, and I think she'd do it again if she felt something was missing in her relationship--->but I do believe at present she's really, really faithful to me...
•she's definitely confused about life. She hasn't found her purpose yet or even established what she's going for...
•100% on many of them not viewing being a woman as an actual relationship!
This applies to her for sure, at least it did early in our relationship when we had these conversations. I'll say with other bisexual women I've known, most of them also wouldn't date a woman exclusively but enjoy sex with them in the right moment. That "placeholder" thing to fill a gap seems really accurate;
@Yinny female perspective, do you find that to be true?
•my girlfriend isn't out to herself, and isn't out to her mother. She's said before that her mom doesn't approve of homo unions, but what I took from that is if her mom did, she'd be more comfortable with it...
But for background, of her mom's five kids, her oldest brother (35) is openly gay and exclusively dates men, though he used to date women until he came into comfortability with himself. Her parents had a hard time accepting him for years....her middle oldest brother (33) is straight....
her youngest oldest brother (29) dates women but she suspects he's downlow, and honestly I wonder if she senses this because
she's downlow and uncomfortable with her bisexuality. And I've been around dude, personally, he seems very gay to me but he doesn't identify as that, has only dated women to everyone's knowledge...
She (27) of course is closet bi. And her sister (17) is openly bisexual, though she's been dating a boy for a minute now and is head over heels for little dude; I had lunch with my girl and their mom yesterday and mom was going in on how 17-year old is upside down over this guy lmao...
So of 5 kids, two are openly into the same sex, one (my girl) is definitely into the same sex secretly but not exclusively, and one (#29) is probably into the same sex on the low...
Their upbringing is really interesting and it does make me wonder the influences that family had as they were raised...
