On OkCupid it always seems that a lot of bi guys are vegetarian or vegan, where almost no gay guys I check out are either and eat "strictly anything" or some other bullshit. As a bi guy, I've fluxuated between meat heavy diets and vegans diets... at this point I don't care all that much. But I am curious.

Most out bisexuals tend to be lefties. Feminists and so on. When they lean right (most of the time), they're not out.

>>2008418 And why is that? Also, almost every gay guy I know is liberal. Maybe I should meet more.

>>2008418 Also, forgot to say I don't think leftist philosophy/politics is necessarily correlated with eating meat/dairy or not... maybe a little though, since tradition is tradition

I'm bi and I've switched between meat heavy and vegatarian a couple of times. I usually don't give a crap though as long as it's a balanced diet.

Actually thinking about it, the dudes I've dated who have been bi, all of them bar one were vegetarian or vegan. Weird.

>>2008695 Come on, you have to admit there is an obvious correlation between being left-wing and vegan. I'm a bi dude and eat meat, no puns plz.

Meatest bi guy here. But I try to only eat free range meat. Easier for Australians than Ameriscalps because we don't do nearly as much factory farming of beef and sheep. If I can't afford free range chicken or pork, then I don't eat it. Easy.

It's because a lot of vegan and vegetarians do it mainly to get attention, much like people's reason for being bi. Attention whoring at it's finest

>>2008816 Why does every thread that mentions bisexuality even in passing seem to devolve into hating on bisexuals?

1 hours later 2008914 Anonymous
>>2008883 Because bisexuals are: a) sluts b) gay men who don't want to give up their priv and/or are afraid to come out all the way c) fake college lesbians who are either doing it for male attention or want to prove how different/interesting/special they are What blows my mind is this is still a problem after 40+ years, and that it is the LGBT community that is spreading it.

>>2008883 >>2008914 PS, population studies how that bisexuality is the most common sexuality, not hetero or homo, and that bisexuality as a "transitional" period is actually not common.

>>2008932 It's not true. Bisexuals combined (men and women) barely outnumber gay men. http://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2013 /06/13/a-survey-of-lgbt-americans/

>>2008932 >>2008980 A list of studies on both the existance and prevailance of bisexuality: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/ 10.1080/19419899.2013.876445 >Sexual fluidity in attractions was reported by 64% of women and 52% of men, with 49% of those women and 36% of those men reporting sexual fluidity in sexual identity based on experiencing changes in attractions, with no significant gender differences. Sexually fluid women used a range of sexual identities, whereas most sexually fluid men identified as completely homosexual/gay. >measures require two sex partners (one male, one female) within a specified period for classification as bisexual, but only one for classification as homosexual or heterosexual. >Effects were largely and consistently attenuated when a floor value of two sex partners was consistently applied to all orientation groups. Retarded study showing bi men are real, derp: http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2011/ 08/23/bisexual-men-science-says-the yre-real/?hpt=hp_t2 Wikipedo cites Rosario et.al. in a poorly worded way, but an older study showed 60-70% of bisexual youths (that's the majority) continue to identify. I would argue that being under 25 matters, which is a whole nother topic. More recently: http://www.psych.utah.edu/people/pe rson.php?id=54 >contrary to the “transitional stage” model, more women adopted bisexual/unlabeled identities than relinquished these identities; few bisexual/unlabeled women ended up identifying as lesbian or heterosexual.

>>2009063 The Williams Institute says "Among adults who identify as LGB, bisexuals comprise a slight majority (1.8% compared to 1.7% who identify as lesbian or gay)." But I know I read one that, under a different definition of "bisexual", the rate was over 50%, I'm still looking for the link... You'll notice some semantics going on in these, as to how you define "bisexual". If you use a Kinsey-type method, anything that isn't one end or the other is bisexual/fluid. Obviously, this can be debated. Also: http://www.lgbtqnation.com/2011/03/ new-report-highlights-discriminatio n-against-bisexuals-by-both-gays-an d-straights/

>>2009035 I can't find the link, but like I said, it's a matter of how you define bisexuality, which is a big issue it seems. Do you only count what people "identify" as, like most population surveys? Are sex acts required to count? Kinsey found 37% of men had sex act to orgasm with another man. But we know that sex acts aren't automatically a person's sexuality...or are they? Does sexual arousal count? That study on bi men doesn't point out how many supposedly straight men were aroused by other men. We know that the word a person identifies as isn't necessarily their functional orientation (see: /fit/). And so on.

As OP, I'm no longer interested in bigots that can't handle my existence. I simply ignore them. We should stick to the thread topic rather than turn this into a pointless debate with gayfags who simply can't handle the truth.

could one maybe live on a nearly all meat diet? them Eskimos have the biggest meat duet, and the only plant stuff they can get are arctic berries.
