    So how common is it for bisexuals to have a flip in interest? Because for like over a week now I've been feeling a lot like a lesbian. I'm super craving a woman and men are kinda boring to me right now. The hard part with this is I'm not out so I don't have the option to fully indulge my taste for women because I can't talk about it with anyone but my sister. She's straight though and she doesn't relate to my feelings so I think after a while she gets kinda tired of hearing about it, but I have no one else in real life I can tell. So basically, are any queer girls up for chatting about the ladies? I'm really rethinking this whole closeted thing. At some point I am going to want to date a girl and all this will have to come out. And do other bi people have this shift in attraction often?

    It might be that you are having an initial excitement and it will settle straighter than now (like me), it may be that you have a fluid sexuality with shifts in orientation in time (again like me) or that you are in fact a lesbian and discovering this now (happens). So yes, that happens. Frequently.

    And yup, I'm up for talking about girls. :slight_smile: (I'm a girl, but don't feel like one too much. Nevertheless, I don't have the space to talk about girls, really)

    It happens to me. About a year ago, when I accepted my bisexuality, all I could think about was being with men. Since then it’s leveled off. I’ll have days where all I can think about is women, sometimes men, and sometimes both. Honestly, it depends on the day. I probably got over excited about men because it was new, and I didn’t, and still don’t have a lot of same sex experience in fact, I may never again, so I’ll have to cherish the experience I have

    Cool! I do think I am really excited. I know I am not a lesbian since I will never stop finding guys attractive, but men are just not what I really want at this particular moment.

    Awesome! So what kind of girls are you into? I think right now I'm feeling really into girls because I have a huge crush on a certain celebrity and she's all I can think about.

    Hmmm difficutlt question. I crush on my classmates. I have a male dominated major at uni so that's not too many, lol. I can't say I have a specific type, be it in terms of appearance or personality. I'm not so much into very masculine girls just like masculine guys, in terms of personality, but super femme niether, I guess the middle is best. I mean... maybe not. Super femme are hot but not sustainable in the long run. I have the fault of taking care of people and mothering, but it irritates me if someone uses this protective quality of mine. So maybe it is not a question of femininity per say, but hardcore feminine people have a higher percentage of people who behave like that.

    I never crushed on a celebrity... what is your crush like?

    That's interesting. I tend to crush on celebrities more than real people. Maybe because they're safe and idealized? I agree about the protective aspect, the funny thing for me is I like to be both protector and protected at the same time. I am a mother hen myself but I would like someone who I could switch roles with and who could also take care of me. I don't like super masculine or super femme, for guys or girls. My current crush is actually so well known it's kinda embarrassing because I am so NOT the only person who is obsessed with her. I feel like kinda a stereotype for liking her lol. But I just do. If you have taken a glance at my signature you'll probably already know who I am talking about.

    I have to say I'm not too up to date with the media, like series, actors etc. Shane, yup , I know her, but the other one not :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Well, girls are just very lovable in a variey of ways , lol.

    I hate being taken care of ! XD Well, with exceptions. It just makes me feel like I'm hopeless. Oh well, my crazy feminism.

    I am probably the opposite. A greater number of men look good to me, but when I do like a girl it's very intense.

    Lol yeah I was talking about Shane. I just, love her so much. And you bring up an interesting point. With women I am okay being more submissive some of the time, but with men I have to be the dominant one. I basically like to be the opposite I guess of what people expect. I just don't feel comfortable being the "woman" with a man, but I am more okay about submitting to another woman.

    Truthfully though, in an ideal relationship, I would like both of us, regardless of gender, to be versatile and able to switch things up. I don't want to be stuck in a role.

    Sorry to intrude. The submissive thing is interesting. I prefer to be submissive, sexually at least, with men and women

    No problem. :slight_smile: That's interesting. I was under the impression it was harder to find a man who preferred the submissive role. Glad to see there are people who like all kinds of different things.

    I think I am just more comfortable submitting to a woman because I figure she would know what to do? I feel like someone who knows how the female body works would know how to make things comfortable and enjoyable so I could feel more relaxed just letting things unfold?

    I’ve found it hard to find a woman who likes a submissive man actually Too bad, it can be a lot of fun

    Well, we exist for sure. Obviously stereotypes are not always true, but I think in general the less feminine a woman acts, or the more dominant her personality the more likely she wold be interested in a quieter, more passive man.

    That’s the thing. I like feminine women who are also dominant Kind of a mix up I guess. Of course I don’t often get what I want, but it is my ideal

    like I said. I’m not really normal. I have some strange likes I guess.
