As someone who actually is genuinely bisexual (not someone who engages in sex with people of both genders because it's some sort of supposed fad), I resent the notion that being bisexual automatically means you want to shag anything human with a pulse and spend hours and years devoting yourself to short time gain. Something as volatile as pleasure, even.

That has nothing to do with sexuality, and everything to do with lack of care. I'm a lot more picky about whom I get together with than the vast majority of my "straight"/"gay" friends. For instance I know guys who want ANY girl. Literally. They think that as long as they hook up with someone and have sex, it'll work out and everything will solve itself. FFS, what ever happened to standards, selfesteem and a common sense, people? If it isn't someone you'd trust nor want to be a friend with, why the hell are dating or even fucking the person? And feeling "broken" trying to make yourself whole even if just for a fleeting moment by sex really isn't a healthy thing either. If you have issues, you deal with them. You do not waste a lot of time pretending to fix them when you're only making your inner erosion greater.

I guess this truly does show that people use the "bisexual" term as a binary label (monosexual vs bisexual) in spite of that it
really is more than a gradual scale, as well as a generic random term for any kind of person who doesn't stick 100% to a single gender (people who can for instance have crushes on both genders, yet only can have a serious longterm relationship with one etc)

Sorry about the semi-related rant, just tired of people lumping a way too wide range of different people together and seriously treating them as a homogenous group. I'd almost like the abolishment of some labels, had it not been a completely idiotic course of action and very unpractical.
