do people ever consider that maybe bi women date more men because there are more straight men than sapphic women in most places

also because it’s tangibly safer to date a man as a bi woman since you can hold hands in public without being openly harassed or stared at

sure there’s some statistics to it, but if you’re friends with and around other queer women and in queer spaces that’s not really true. you’re not factoring in the fact that people are in the places they seek out

the reality is it’s a lot harder to accept yourself and live in a lesbian relationship than a straight one and many bi women will take the path of least resistance because they have the option to

Yeah like I didn’t chose that any more than cis people “choosing” to have an all straight friend group. It just happens that way esp depending on where you are

…yes, genuinely. there are so many ways to find community and unless you’re in a town pop 500 with no car, it’s on you for failing to find your people

my best advice is to find a way to meet more queer people! go to a gay bar or just a bar with a lot of gays. go to a concert and talk to people. join a softball league or some shit lol. even join one of those friend-making apps. there are so many ways to find other queer people and it is so beautiful to have that community even if it’s not thru your friend circle

I tend to gravitate towards my fellow queers in college, and when I graduate I imagine I’ll make some queer friends and meet their friends, and I’ll be fine from there

i honestly don’t even know any straight people who aren’t friends with at least one queer person. i hate when people act like it’s so hard to find other queer people. most of the time it’s because they’re choosing not to associate themselves, honestly

I have a lot of queer loose acquaintances but I have 4 close friends and none of them happen to be queer and I keep a tight circle, it’s not like I’ve never met any queer people

No literally like no hate to bi women but how come they never seem to want to date each other? I only ever see them talk about lesbians like you know you can just date another bi woman right … 😭

I’m friends with bi women irl and they’re fine with dating each other (and a couple date lesbians). humans are just wired to remember negative experiences, and we’re more likely to talk about our problems online. so it seems like that because of availability bias
