Hmmm. There are no bisexual men? I've known at least four. Five counting you. I think they're probably full of it. Actually, scratch the probably.
I am not sure it it decreases the potential of romantic attatchments in and of itself. I declined to become involved with one of those bisexual , but it was more because of concern over how *many* men he was involved with -- quite a few it seemed, and I said no thank you. My relationships with the others were not really boy-girl. dunno if that sheds any light, but there's my thoughts. Dana On 7/28/05, S.
