New in town. How did you find Bisexual.com?

[zwitterakkord]

Have read a bunch of threads. Curious why most ppl joined here? I joined because just ended LTR and ready to meet some new open minded ppl. Maybe swap stories and experiences. Do most ppl join for hook ups or like me -- to check it out? I am guessing a wide variety.

I was told about this site from my ex -- said I might enjoy "interacting with others like me and that it might make my next relationship go better."

How about you?

[DuckiesDarling]

This is how my fiance told me he was bi, by sending me to this site and telling me to look up Long Duck Dong. He wanted me to see how his bisexuality was a part of him and how other bisexuals and those involved in their lives and struggles interacted. So I came, I signed up to view the profile, and I stayed because of the friends I have made.

Hope you enjoy your time here as much as I have and welcome to the site.

Towards the end of my marriage, when my bisexuality was straining at the leash to be set free, I did a search for bisexual chat.. it came up with the Bisexual Chat Network.. for a year or so I chatted away happily and had lotsa fun in 1 way or tother an many laffs with some of the people who are on .com even now. Then one day I tried to log on 2 BCN and it threw me here.. I didnt realise immediately that this was merely a more sophisticated and informative successor.. so I signed up, and apart from a few breaks for one reason or tother.. am still here.. bisexuality for me may be a thing of the past, but it isnt for my partner, and bisexual issues and homosexual issues are often one and the same.. so I stuck around..:)

[Long Duck Dong]

I got lost in the traffic....... bloody internet highway......

I was researching something if I remember rightly.... and spent a day or so reading the forum... and thinking that there were actually bisexuals that were not all worried about getting laid, they were talking about intelligent things, unlike most sites that existed.....

so I joined the site and shared understanding from the other side of the world and many things that I have learnt and picked up over the years.....

when I met my fiancee, Duckies darling, I ended up sending her to this site... with the words " learn about bisexuals and bisexuality and decide for yourself if you can handle it, don't just take my word about bisexuality *

I did move on from the site as I felt my time here was over..... and I would not be here now if it was not for a cowardly and underhanded attack on my partner and myself when I was 3 months gone... so now I stay as a support for the many people that drift thru the site, finding friends, lovers, support and help, with my monogamous, straight partner by my side, helping too........ and pissing off the resident heterophobe in the site

[zwitterakkord]

Hey -- thanks for the answers so far! I am amazed how fast ppl answered. Where abroad were you? I have spent a bit of time abroad too.

[fpb09]

I guess like others looking around & found it! Meet some great people here, like to meet them in person 1 day! LOL , but I GET A LOT OF HELP & ADVICE HERE TOO! Wish u good luck!

[softfruit]

I was thinking of starting a bi website and tried all the likely combinations to see if they already existed! :)

[_Joe_]

There aren't many other bisexual forums sites I have found as active as this one. I may be missing some or this is the best.

[fredtyg]

A few years ago I was desperate for contact with other bi and homo folks. I just entered "Bisexual" in Yahoo search. I don't think I found this site the first time, but found bisexual.org which, if I recall correctly, had a forum at the time. It wasn't all that active and it seems to me either the forum or whole web site disappeared one day and I stopped going there.

I did another search and found this one which I visit multiple times a day just to see if there's any new topics opened. Love this place and hate to think what would happen if it shut down, as I'm sure others thought a little while ago when we couldn't get in here for a couple days.

Bisexual.org is back up but still no forums as far as I know.

[AidanS57]

I found it browsing around the net, read some posts before I created an account and thought it was a friendly place that wasn't all sex oriented but more about how bisexuals deal with the world around us and with the many people that interact in our lives each day.

I have found a few friends on here that I actually contact outside of here and enjoy just speaking with them on a variety of issues. The site when I signed up seemed friendly and open and just a damned nice place to visit.

I've watched in the last few months a few people pushing agendas that just don't sit right with me. Most of the time I view threads without being logged in but there are times I feel compelled to post.

The thing I like best about this site is there is no right or wrong and no happy medium. It just is. And people are free to be a part of it or just to observe. I do both and happily admit that. After all my mama said if you didn't have anything nice to say don't say it. :2cents:

[NotLostJustWandering]

I found the site a couple of months after I drifted into, and decided to stay, in Sinai. I had just had my heart broken over a guy in Jordan (have posted here my 14,000-word account of that midadventure) and having lost my hopes in ever being happy with either a single woman or a single man, was in a state of despair, until a brief affair with a poly-bi woman from Germany gave me hope in finding a stable MMF relationship. Since there is no bi community, or even gay community, to speak of around here, I turned to the Internet and naturally this was one of the first sites I found. Turned out to be the best, as well. I have learned so much here, and gained a lot of new hope.

At times hanging out here became compulsive. I would spend hours and hours here every day, sometimes staying up til dawn. I found that my frustration with the limits of Internet-based contact and community was starting to come out in my posts, more and more of which angry. Once I made myself take a week off. Then when I logged in again, I found the spell was broken, and I couldn't even relate to wanting to spend so much time talking to people on the Internet. My attendance has been sporadic since.

Very much looking forward to returning to the USA (one month left!) and seeing what in-the-flesh bi community I can find in New York.

[bizel]

oh notlost, you make me chuckle. mate, new york is never going to be the same again when you hit it. i can feel your excitement and am thrilled for you!

zwitter, i didn't even know what a bisexual was til my hubby admitted he had urges for men. i didn't know if i fitted into his new lifestyle (still not 100% sure). i didn't even know of the word. couldn't turn to friends or family so turned to the internet and found my on-line family. thank goodness for the people here. without them i would have gone spare. their support, encouragement and compassion has been another lesson in why we should never judge til we have walked in other's footsteps.

[nwmscurious]

It's been several years, but I think that I found it on Google when I was looking for websites with bi advice.

Bob :bipride:

[sammie19]

Do you know I cant remember. I didn't know Fran or Kate then so it wasn't them. Probably I googled it.

[dickhand]

Ah yes , I remember it well . I typed " bisexual " into the search box on my Yahoo home page and TA DA !

[RockGardener]

I was brought here by a lover. He suggested I might enjoy it here... and I do!! I met my future wife in chat the very first time I was here! The wedding is June 25th.

[xxxcjs]

curiosity and web surfing...once i got here everyone was so cool i stayed i have been here for years and love it

Not June 25th! I won't be back in time! Wait until after July 1! I know the world doesn't really revolve around me. Congrats! Hope to catch up with you two this summer.

Like most everyone else, I googled "bisexual" and found the site. I love the freedom here. Have a conversation about anything and everything sexual and then flip over to something sweet, cute, horrific, and political.

[Floridaguy4u]

OK what about people that say they will meet and then don't show? Like to let others know what their attitude is like. Are they real or just thinking about it and wasting other peoples time. It seams like all that ever goes on here is discussion and not much else. It is a problem trying to determine who is actually
truly interested in meeting. Lets discuss that.

[fredtyg]

This isn't supposed to be exclusively a hook up site, at least the forums aren't.

[Realist]

I came here after a life-time of hiding my bisexuality and at the tail end of my 3rd failed marriage. Found Bi Dot Com by random searching.

Living in a very homophobic area, surrounded by firmly straight friends and family, I was craving like-minded folks to at least communicate with.

Not only did I find some fantastic friends, but found the most amazing bisexual lady, too. This was an extra sweet surprise, as I'd decided that I would never again be happily connected to any lady, who would understand and accept me.

In fact, I hoped to meet a gay, or bisexual guy, with whom I could develop a caring and mutually gratifying relationship.

Up to 2008, most of the most successful relationships I'd experienced, had been with men. My past failures, with mostly straight women, made me determine that I'd never be able to be in a decent relationship with a female, again.

She has proven that theory wrong and, in a little over 2 years, has become the love of my life.

Joining this site has been one of the best decisions I've made in years!

[MissRina]

I googled bisexual.
I came here with a last thread of hope that there is a sweet bi fem or a straight or bi male who I can love forever and who understands my needs for the other sex.

[biwmtrucker44]

Been so long I dont rember:compuser:

[MikeyAndSam]

Mikey here, I found the site after a long, serious conversation I had with Sam. I was very discouraged about our relationship and its survivability a year back when I received a very hateful letter from my sister. Coming from a very homophobic, "tight-assed" Christian family, I was taught that being bisexual/homosexual was wrong. Obviously it hasn't had an effect on me, nor my partner. We discussed the fact that others might have the same problem and we should seek out a support group. I denied the group setting on the sole basis that it was too much like psychiatry, and instead decided to seek out an online forum. I've lurked for about six months and decided it was time to join up.

~!

[Realist]

Welcome Mikey and Sam! Hope you find friends, information, and fun, here.

[Lisa (va)]

I actually found the site ( Bisexual Chat Network then) by accident. I was on our computer and I was meaning to click on the favorite icon and go play Zuma, I accidentally hit the history button by mistake. Being no so computer literate I was initially lost, but I had noticed my partner at the time was or had been visiting the site, I merely clicked the link and wound up here. In the years I have been coming here I have that the majority of folks here are quite nice and personable. I have never confronted my ex g/f about finding the site on the history of our computer, perhaps I was hoping to see her here: but that is water under the bridge, we eventually parted ways.

Very much looking forward to returning to the USA (one month left!) and seeing what in-the-flesh bi community I can find in New York.

Very much looking forward to your returning to New York . . .

As for how I found this site - came across mention of it in an article about a woman dating a bisexual guy on thefrisky.com ( http://www.thefrisky.com/post/246-girl-talk-dating-a-bi-guy/ ). I found this article mentioned on the Huffingtonpost.

At any rate, liked this site, so I put up a profile !

[Cherokee_Mountaincat]

A friend I had at the time suggested I come in and look around. He told me there was some wonderful folks in here, and was right. :} Altho I am a Lifestyler, its fantastic to be able to cuzz and discuss a wide variety otf topics about bisexuality, and sooo many other great things. I hadnt realized how long I've been here til I looked the other day...lol
Welcome to all of you new ones. I hope you have a wonderful time of discovery here. Ignore the trolls, and concentrate on the fun. ;)
