11 Things Every Bi Girl is Sick of Hearing

We know that when it comes to talking about sexual identity, our friends mean well. And as open to discussion as we are, there are those little comments we hear all too often that can get pretty annoying. Here’s what you should never say to a bi girl—because trust us, she’s sick of hearing these things!

1. “Which do you like better?”

Because comparing apples and oranges totally makes sense, right?

2. “You’re so lucky you have double the options!”

*Insert eye roll here*

3. “Do you have a lot of threesomes?”

I mean, really?

4. “Are you sure you aren’t just a lesbian?”

Why do we need a preference?

5. “I don’t believe in people being bisexual.”

If only we had a dollar for every time we’ve heard that one!

6. “Do you just want to sleep with everyone?”

Yes, and you must want to sleep with exactly half of the population.

7. “You’ll grow out of this.”

This isn’t the same as being a Jonas Brothers fan!

8. “Guys are so annoying; I wish I could date girls too!”

Right, because we DECIDED to date girls for that reason. Okay.

9. “I bet I can change your mind.”

*Amanda Bynes voice*

10. “But when it comes down to it, who would you marry?”

…Harry Styles…or Emma Stone…

11. “Can I watch?”

Some people just never grow up.

Just remember, the next time you’re around your bi friends, be respectful! Sure, they don’t mind people asking the average question, but if you ask them one more time who they would marry, they might just explode.

 

Rachel DeFeis is a senior at the University of Delaware majoring in English. She hopes to get into publishing and/or editing after she graduates, but right now she spends her free time binge watching television shows on Netflix, being a loyal (yet frustrated) Giants fan, reading books, spending her paychecks on coffee and daydreaming of traveling the world. In five years she sees herself living in New York City where she'll meet her soulmate by either awkwardly running into him or fighting over who gets the last pair of black gloves at Bloomingdale's. Although, maybe that last part just shows she's too obsessed with the movie Serendipity. Coming from the Seaside Heights, NJ area she wants the world to know one thing: no, we don't all fist pump, fake tan or call it the "Jersey Shore". You can follow her on twitter @racheldefeis.
