Questions About Bisexuality I'm Tired Of Hearing
BiPeopleMeet.com

Bisexuality isn’t very clearly understood, so I’ll take this moment to define it: the sexual attraction to both sexes (that’s where you get the bi for two from). That means I’m attracted to both men and women. I get asked a lot of questions and I get a lot of comments thrown my way, and honestly, I’m getting tired of hearing most of them.

1) How can you like both sexes at once?

It’s kind of like having a fairy godmother and a fairy gaymother at the same time; or like having an angel and a devil on my shoulders . . . one is distracted by nerdy boys and the other is trying to court girls wearing cargo shorts, I don’t know, man.

2) Do you like women one day and men the next?

No. I like both all the time, constantly . . . I don’t take holidays from liking either of them.

3) I would hate to date a Bisexual person, what if they get tired of dating a (enter sex here) and want to date a (enter opposite sex here) so they break up with me?

Yeah, no. That’s really super offensive. That’s like a fire fighter being afraid his girlfriend is going to leave him for a police officer. Please have more faith in the person you’re dating.

4) You’re not straight, you like women / You’re not gay, you like men

You’re definitely right, I’m neither straight not gay. If only we had a word for that . . . oh wait, we do.

5) Why don’t you just pick one?

Because I don’t like limiting myself. Why don’t you pick either cow, pig, or chicken to eat? Why do you have to have all three?

6) What if you wake up one day next to your spouse and realize you would rather be with the other sex?

Well then I probably should not have married that person. Seriously, straight people could also wake up questioning why they married someone. Your sex doesn’t matter to me (obviously).

7) So is your ultimate fantasy or goal to date a girl and a boy at the same time?

Only those of us that want a polygamous relationship (wanting to date multiple people at the same time). Personally, I only have enough energy to date one person at a time. Sorry for the let-down.

There are more, but I a lot of the questions and comments I get are on inappropriate topics (bedroom talk). Which honestly, is not something you should ask anyone. I’m not part of a freak show. If someone has legitimate questions because they are curious and don’t know, I would love to answer any questions. It’s the rude ones that get my blood boiling. Try to be considerate of people that aren’t like you.

Tschüss!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
