    As in, are there any bi stereotypes? You know, like lesbians wear flannel shirts and are either super skinny atheletics or fat, and that gay guys hot and wear expensive clothes?

    There's a youtuber called Alex whose trying to get bisexuals to wear a purple wristband or the 'bisexual flag' wristband or necklace, so we know to identify each other. Other than that, I don't know.

    Seriously? I didn't know that about the wristbands. The only stereotype I know of is about bisexuals being sluts or just indesicive :unamused:. I think it's not really common enough to be a stereotype if that makes sense?

    No idea, but a lot of women in "alternative" scenes, ie metal, punk, goth, tend to give out that vibe. Goes hand-in-hand with those who are more comfortable in groups of guys (not always).

    With men, its almost synonymous with "closet case" (I'm bad). Like they're trying to hide or downplay their "feminine" or gay qualities.

    I' believe that you can't tell someones sexuality by looks alone.

    OMG Yes the side-shaved head, on guys and girls! Possibly the only bisexual look...

    Am wondering about perhaps using blue, pink and purple eyeshadow. Most people wouldn't get it... but everyone else would :wink:

    Now, about pansexual fashion statements... and asexual fashion statements...

    I mean honestly, no. You never really know unless you ask someone what their sexual orientation is. Back when I had a job in retail during the school year, I had a (male) coworker who I made the assumption was gay since he said he was "queer" and also had a slightly higher pitched voice + alternative hairstyle. Turns out he was bisexual and he was interested in going out with me. I did not feel the same, so I politely turned him down (or at least I think I did). Nice guy too. But it just shows that "bi", or any other sexual orientation for that matter, does not have a specific look.

    edit: I was reading your guys' comments just now, and I saw how there were multiple ones on how the "side shave" is a common look for bisexuals. This guy had that look going lol. So, not to go against my own post, but maybe the side-shave?

    Nah, I'm kidding! It's a funny coincidence, though.

    There is no specific look, I've known some ultra macho looking men who you wouldn't even guess were bi.

    The adoption of purple as an indicator, however, does sound pretty cool though
