    As a bi guy I'd say just a little bit, at least women for the most part aren't consumed by toxic masculinity like the average guy. And won't try kill you or creep on you in the way some incel types do. Haven't encountered any "femcels" yet thankfully.

    Though a lot of straight women apparently won't date openly bi guys, which is kinda shit tbh. I've experienced it and it sucks. I'm in the closet for now, so I always ask them their thoughts on LGBT people while they view me as an unassuming straight guy and some of the stuff I've heard is really vile.

    So yeah dating right now is uhh yea...

      Good points.

      I 100% think women have it worse but yeah it's not like there's just a ton of unproblematic women out there to date either. I think for women the stakes are just so much higher for them in terms of safety. Like straight men don't have to worry about a bad date possibly hurting them.

      Living in a sick society makes sick unwell people and that's just tough to date in idk

        Yeah this is it for the most part. The safety part is really bad where I live in South Africa for sure.

      Ah I see it hasn't changed. Yeah the bi thing absolutely blew my mind. I came out when I had a girlfriend who was also bi, and we had an agreement we could each do gay hookups (as long as we told eachother). When that relationship ended and went back into the dating pool, I would mention to girls that i was bi after a few dates and shit ended so quick so often. They apparently think bi people are sex crazed and will cheat on them immediately. Also I think they're just grossed out by it for some reason.

      And then with guys, sometimes they think that you aren't really bi because being bi is fake and you're really just gay but can't admit it or whatever.

        Yeah they think you're some serial cheater or sex addict freak, even if you're fully committed to a monogamous relationship and that's all you need and want. Or they think you have cooties or something because you also find men hot.
