I am an attention whore, it’s in my blood, there’s no way around it. It comes with my ADHD territory. Interruptions and wanting to control conversations and what not. If I’m listening to you I’m trying VERY HARD!!! (Which I do a lot, I know, I’m very charitable)
I’d always known I liked women, but I felt like I liked men more.... so learning it was /attractive/ to men for me to be into women was enticing to me! I could be myself AND be given more attention? SHOCK AND AWE!
Long story short, I’ve done myself disservice in the past, in the name of attention, by letting my sexuality be perceived as a ~perk~ of dating me, rather than just a thing that doesn’t really affecting who I’m dating at all
We all have things we overshare (right? uguys?) and if you’re like UGH LAUREN WE GET IT YOURE BI then yay! I did it! my sexuality is now something I talk about like being vegetarian or obsessing over Ari Aster! Not a secret, not a big deal, just a thing I am.
I’ve noticed the bi feminine/masculine experiences reflect the standard binary of women being chased/men being the chasers. While Bi women are HUNTED by couples on dating apps (no I don’t want to sleep with u & your ugly boyfriend) Bi men are much less likely to be open about it
I’ve talked to many Bi men and our experiences in love are always so different... it makes me feel (dare I say) privileged to be a bi woman and literally be called a UNICORN I mean WHAT IS THAT
I’ve started to digress because I can’t conduct the thought trains choo choo ok in the end I think the most important thing is sexuality is just an extension of someone’s personhood and not a bullet point. Me? I like talking, so ergo bingo boingo: I like talking abt sexuality
One day I might say I’m bi & hot because I’m bi! One day I might marry a man! One day I might marry a woman! Anyone can do anything & it doesn’t reflect their sexuality as a whole, or the sexuality of other people, it’s just that one goober living their goobery truth.
My goobery truth is I will steal your gfhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ’—" title="Wachsendes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Wachsendes Herz"> end thread
