Would you date a bisexual? Do bisexuals make good partners?

Is it possible to be in a satisfying relationship with a men or women that is bisexual? By satisfying, I mean psychological secure. I think that there is a sense of security when you date someone who is only attracted to one sex.

It’s widely believed that straight men are more likely to date/marry bisexual women. While, it seems that heterosexual women and lesbians are more cautious around bisexuals. For homosexual men, it tends to be more a coin toss.

Also do you think it’s an act of bigotry to discriminate against bisexuals in dating?

As a heterosexual man, my experience with 'bi' women is that they're 99% straight, but are hoodwinked by various media entertainment that they MIGHT be able to experience that super-duper hot lesbian experience that exists only in their imagination. In reality, it's an impossibility that exists only in - predictably - fiction.

As a gay (male) friend of mine once remarked, 'bi men are just faggots who haven't come out yet.'
 
I'm straight and am dating a bi guy who has given me some hope and joy in recent months, but that has nothing to do with his sexuality because he just so happens to be bi. His sexual background doesn't bother me since I trust his word that he is clean, and I'm of that age group where I was inevitably going to be dating a guy who's expected to have some kind of experience by his 30s (whether a divorcée/widower or who's had at least one previous relationship). Bisexuality's not something I thought about before going out with him, but I do understand the hesitation someone might have after hearing a lot of stories about promiscuity that's prevalent in LGBT circles.

But it's the same with heterosexuals, too. Replace "bisexual" with "playboy" or "whore/slut" and you'll have more polarizing but straightforward answers. In general, it appears majority consensus is the more sexual partners one has had, the harder it is to be in a fully-committed trustworthy relationship because the person who's known to have slept around could return to old habits/have an incurable STD yet still desires companionship, or the person dating them may not 100% trust them to be faithful but never voices their concern. Hence why communication is important, but so is self-control and self-respect, and proving one's own self-worth that they'll never go back on their word.

Preference/skepticism isn't discrimination when you're concerned about STDs or don't believe that person to be trustworthy. It's based on individualism, not everyone who identifies with the LGBT fucks everything that moves, even though it does feel like you caught a unicorn finding someone from that camp who believes in being monogamous.

Refusing to date someone because they're "defiled" by the opposite/same gender (militant lesbians hate bi women because they may have been with a man) is a stupid reason, if you ask me. People are more than their sexual labels, but sexual behavior is cause for concern in terms of personal safety. However, it still comes back to trust, and mutual understanding on those judgment calls.
 
There is no bigger std risk for a woman than dating a guy thats also into guys. Besides becoming a prostitute and not using protection, I guess.

Women don't have as strong of a gender bias. But men are typically willing to give them more. Love, gifts, attention, status (attained because he wants women) and as a result outcompete other women.

If a woman says she is bi, a man should think about how ideologically possessed she might be, though.

I did make a post on the Serious LGBT Thread about this similar sentiment but to simply make it short: people mostly tend to lean on the "how horny are you?"-meter when it comes to making relationships, eschewed by the mess of porn and coomerism, thus leading to a repeated cycle as many people critique others based on sex and the like. People should be judged by how you trust them in an emotional degree, how much do you trust them and respect vice-versa. A relationship that forgoes the desire of sex, be it straight, gay, lesbian or bi, and focuses on each of the partner's well-being can forge a stronger and more lovable connection than treating one person like they are a meatbag of semen to be replaced by another.
