Okay, I'm a bit of a Highlander fan...

Previous thread located here.

I was gonna ask what the title meant, but I guess the Highlander reference explains it!
Ive never seen that so its lost on me

So exactly how many bisexuals post here?

Kace!! I'm laughing my ass off over your signature.
It was a pretty embarrassing moment, huh?

Kace's sig is hilarious! I don't know what it is about that little jig she started doing, but it reminded me of some cartoon character; just can't place my finger on which one.

As for the number of bisexuals who posts in here, I have no clue. I'm not totally up on who's gay/straight/bi on this board.

heck we're all people (aren't we? ) who cares about labels

*quote shane "it doesn't matter if your gay, bi, straight or jus go with the flow"

I don't think that it matters. I think Kace was simply asking considering it is a Bisexual thread.

Can you guys keep up with the flirting discussion from the 1st thread? It was so interesting. I might pick up some "technique"

I myself don't like flirt with much talking. I'd prefer using eye contact or a little touching (just really little!).

There was this time in the class, the class was quite noisy and I was asking the teacher some questions. This girl whom I liked was looking at me. When the teacher turned away, I slightly turned my head and gave her a quite flirty eye contact. I don't know it she knew it was a flirt. We had been friends (not so close) before that incident and she have been still greeting me with grace afterward so I guess she didn't know it was flirting. I used to be very shy but I have started feeling flirty afterwards

I don't claim to be any expert, but here are my Flirting for Beginners Tips:

Smile - You look more approachable and you can lure others into flirting with you rather than the other way around.

Eye contact – Locking eyes shows a genuine interest in that person. Just don’t try to be suave; it looks cheesy. And don’t stare, it looks creepy.

Pay attention – Everybody loves someone who’s really into them, so show genuine interest in what that person is doing or saying. Just don’t turn into a stalker and follow them around.

It’s not rocket science. Just be confident, have fun and don’t take yourself too seriously and flirting will come naturally.

I don't know who I think I am to be dishing out advice.

i admit that i'm bi now...
before i was sure i was a lez but one guy made me feel different...
i was in denial about liking men i avoided them like the devil...
lol... i was like "men! ahhh!!! *crucifix*"
i know its wrong but i still have the idea engrained in my head that i have to chose....
funny how one guy spoils everything... he is amazing...
and if i had to be with a man i'd only be with him...
but it wasn't the same... i didn't get chills through my body or anything...
so... does that mean i'm not attracted to men?? i think he's very attractive...
but it wasn't enough to take me over the edge... so confused...
but we're just friends... i think i know for sure now that i can only have a relationship with a woman....

hehe, yeah those few but special men, they can sometimes turn our worlds upside down..

I went from straight to bi-curious to lez and am now pretty sure I'm bisexual. For a matter of fact I feel very safe and welcomed in the gay community, more than among hets. so I guess this is also a "lifestyle"-question. it's how I identify within a crowd of people. but yes, falling in love with a man is now considered definitely possible again

Nigela people (Nigela, rhymes with Bongella, bonj for short - bonj short for bonjour - hello people ).
Just having a heysation, not staying.

Laters! xx

Ahh the wonders of flirting. I love it. And as for advice JayHawk pretty much got the jist of it.

I remember this new girl came to our school and was in two of my classes and she was goregous. And for some odd reason..the teacher told her to sit next to me, which I thought was a bad idea from the start because I'm not that smart. But then the teacher told me I should catch her up on what we've done so far...so I was like alright...and she had a very hot accent, she's French and when she spoke I trying in all my power not to just tackle her and make out with her...I'm a sucker for accents other then the U.S.

Well anyway I got her caught up and when we were done she hugged me! And I really don't give hugs...don't know why so I just stood there while her arms were around me...then she looked into my eyes and gave me a big smile. I didn't know what to do...the reason I didn't flirt back was because I was trying to not flirt much...go on dates much...and all that jazz and I did pretty good for awhile...but I couldn't take it anymore and seduced the French girl, later I found out she had a boyfriend and has never been with a girl...oh the luck I have.

i went from... straight to bisexual cause i was afraid of identifying myself as a lesbian... then to accepting that i love women and thinking i was a lesbian... to avoiding men and being in denial that i was attracted to men... to being the way i am now... bi... lol

i admire all you lesbians out there for being so sure...

send me a french girl please

I'll put that on my to-do list.

~shane~,
can you speak any other language at all? Or is it just the accents that
attracted you?
I also find other languages to be sexy and a big turn on.
But i only manage to speak french and english.
Oh i'm in the wrong thread...well since i have been with both sexes i think it's ok to venture here .
You don't have to actually be bisexual to enjoy reading about it.

That's true, all is welcome to read/reply!

Unfortunately I can't speak another other language...some german numbers and a wee bit of French...but its the accent itself that attracts me

I like a sexy voice if someone has one of those bubbly brainless tones it is a turn-off(I am talking about all the time).

I think french people speaking english just sound awful... no offence you guys.
But I´m completely in love with irish english. Hot!

I love a brazilian accent, but then I also love my brazilian men and women...

Spanisch accent in English, French accent I don't like in any language (sorry, guys! ). But the sexiest accent MUST be Italian... Italian is just the most beautiful language, and everything just sounds good, even the swearing...

The worst accent when someone speaks German is American... Sounds extremely awful, huuuuge turn-off. In those cases I tend to prefer switching to English!

I've got a thing for french accents (speaking in french or english). I can listen to the language/accent all day and it wouldn't matter whether i understand them or not.

See with the french accent , most of you only think about the french accent from France but we speak french here in Québec and it has nothing to do with the accent from France, believe me. So when most of us speak english the accent really isn't the same. Any of you had the chance to meet with someone from Québec yet?
I would compare the way we speak with...ok Americans and Brits, the accent is totally different so there you go, and it shows in the way we speak english too. Of course there are some people that will have a strange accent either way but don't think french is the same all around the globe,even the French may encounter some difficulties with our accent.
I love accents that flow, that are sexy..Italian , Spanish...hum those latinos are hot!
Hey, is this the bisexual thread or the bilingual thread?
One question for you all, i know i am totally lesbian even though i spent has much time with a man as i did with a woman, now for the most of you do you think your bisexuality has to do with whom you can love (both sexes) or does it have more to do with sex?
I mean do you absolutely feel the same way about both sexes, or do you have a tendency to fall in love more easily with either a man or a woman?
Explain to me, i know what bisexuality is so don't get me wrong but since i too have been with both sexes yet i am and was very aware that i could only really feel something for girls (even though i really don't hate guys at all and the sex part was good too ) . Share your thoughts, ok.

Ok, since I think I finally figured all that out now that I have my first real steady girlfriend, I'll try to answer that.
After much struggle with my own identity I have worked out that I am what you'd probably call a balanced bisexual. There is more women than men that I find attractive, but I have been primarily with men - whom I seem to fall in love with easier. But when I am with either of the two there is no difference, emotionally and sexually. Just that I tend to fantasize about women more when I have a boyfriend and more about men when I have a girlfriend - I guess the fantasies are a way to add the "missing" part. But I have no desire whatsoever to actually be with someone else while I am a love, in neither type of relationship I miss the other sex.
I know a lot of different types of bisexuals, some love women but prefer sex with men, others have it the other way around, some need both at the same time... This is one of the complications of understanding bisexuality - there is just sooo many types of us...

ah yay Zesty for finally figuring out. I wish I could do the same.... But I totally agree on how many bisexuals there are out there, however I think I am a lesbian fully, see guys just don't excite me anymore and there are hardly any at all I find attractive...and if I do I don't see me being with them any fun...maybe me just saying I'm bisexual is easier for me to handle and my family..I mean I know they would be fine with being a lesbian because they're fine with my being bisexual, it's so complicating...gah!

Hey that's an interesting post.
I don't know whether or not this is still true - after watching Young Americans FINALLY I think I'n changing my mind - but over the last couple of years I've thought that I find women more attractive than men, but I'd want a physical relationship with a man and not a women. I feel I could connect to women more or something emotionally, just didn't want to go there physically. I was and still am I guess a tomboy. All my friends were guys, I had short hair, played sports etc.
Watching YA, there's a scene when Jake (Katherine Moennig) is dressed as a girl and she and Hamilton are having dinner at a resutrant, and Jake was getting annoyed because, since Hamilton found out she was a girl, he'd treated her differently. Not in a bad way; he was actually being a gentleman, but she saw it as well they fell in love when he didn't know she was a girl, he fell in love with 'Jake' the person, and that just because he knew she was a girl shouldn't mean that she should be treated any differently.

I guess what I've kind of figured out is that yeah, I act like a bit of a guy sometimes, and yeah I am attracted to some women, but I wouldn't want to be with one. I want to be with a man, but not for him to treat me like I'm just a woman, I want him to just let me be myself, and to be cool with the fact I'm kinda masculine in a way. I'm myself, I don't want that to be changed in any way.

Ok, looking over my post, I haven't really made a 'bisexual' comment or anything, or maybe I have, I don't know.

It's actually Mae who finally figured it out.
I never really had to because i always knew i was a lesbian even when i wouldn't admit it to myself, that was like 10 years ago.
Guess the quote from Mae mislead you because it says ''quote Zesty'' and right below it was written ''Mae wrote'' but it was my quote not hers .
But glad you know who you are deep inside ~shane~, that's all that really matters.

Zesty I know what you´re talkin about with the Quebec vs. French accents..

I have a Marseille accent and Parisians hardly understand me..

Since that really was the response to my statement... I just can't quote correctly in this board, sorry!

I think that it's ridiculous that people think so much about all these labels, do we have to choose one? Why is there this need to pin lesbian, straight, gay, bi on everyone, even oneself? I know the struggle for self-identification all too well myself, but I am still wondering WHY it seems to be so important to identify ones own label - is it easier? I don't care about other people's labels, so why was my own so important?

I guess it has a lot to do with the environment, I am constantly asked what my orientation is, because pretty much everybody knows I have had two very long-term relationships with men the question seems obvious enough. And I have the impression that my family feels more comfortable with defining me as bi - chances of grandchildren and so on...

My newest answer is: "When I'm with a man, I'm straight, but when I'm with a woman, I'm gay." Of course it is more complex than that, and of course I do never deny my bisexuality even when in a relationship, but an explanation like that seems much easier for non-bisexuals to grasp.

Anything "bi" should be welcome here . Bisexual, bilingual, bi-culture, bi-racial... You see, the world is not divided black and white

Mae ur new anser sounds dam bloody good to me ... no labels and there would be more love in this world! why put labels on sexuality when it varys and is a personal choice for every individual...

Cool, i like your view cindy.
These threads tend to be the most interesting ones, i love those that deals with serious issues .
I guess i'm only bi-lingual, well maybe a bit bi-cultural too since Québec and Canada are the same yet very different!
So i am basically ''bi'' in a few ways.

bi the way ( ), I like serious topics too zes

H
we know when to have fun and we know when it's time for a little seriousness.

Oh yeah we do. In fact I'm an extremely serious person when needs be...I'm also a total goof sometimes

damn, I am tri-lingual, wrong thread!

God, I'm almost drunk at 6 pm... And a bottle of champagne is waiting in the fridge in case JFK 2 wins...

Ah ah!
And you called me a drunk in the fan picture thread (because of the Meryl Streep reference .
Enjoy your champagne.

At first I just lurked through here, but from now on, bi-racial will be my ticket of admittance into this thread.

This thread actually has some pretty interesting discussions in it. Even silly me has learned from this thread.

Well, you are tri-lingual and I am tri-sexual.
Or should I say TRY-sexual. I'll try anything once.

Oh crush, back to your ol' self again!

It feels good to be back!!

Now, Zesty... since it feels so good to be back, can I see how good your back feels?

I'm having my bi-cycle....it usually occurs bi-monthly. So I'm in

See, I wanted to write that and didn't because I thought it was such an old joke!

Come all in, bisexuals like all kinds of stuff inside... uhm... that sounded wrong...

Hey now Mae... are you callin' me OLD??!



That's ok. I am old. But you know what they say.... with age comes wisdom.

since I'm 5 years old I've known I was into girls. and by now I know that I'm also into boys. there are more women that attract me, but i really like being with guys. and i think you can't compare sex with a guy and sex with a woman. there's a huge difference between that in my opinion. myself i'd say that i'm kind of more gay than straight. just a little. i just think that feminine bodys are more sexy and beautiful.
another thing is that i think that you shouldn't reduce the chance of being able to fall in love or to love someone or just to have a good time together (with sex or whatever..) to 50% , ya know what i mean?

accents, yeah, my mother's from germany, my dad's from canada (not quebec), my grandmother speaks spanish. i speak those 3 languages without any accents, just grew up with the three of them. and i'm really loving it :D

Oh wait...I didn't quite catch why this thread is named the quickening? Anyone care to enlighten me?

@pirat: Na dann, willkommen!

I think Kace was making a reference to the tv show Highlander.

Oh okay..even thought I never heard of Highlander.
