Ladies night out?
It's easy to get jealous when your guy's hanging out with his old friend, who happens to be a girl. And guys, how comfortable are you when your girlfriend wants to have a night out with her guy friend? You know, the one she's known forever but it's just platonic?
Well, at least you know you can trust her when she's out with her girlfriends, right? Well, not alway. I heard of just such a situation third-hand. Basically this guy's lady is bisexual. So when whenever his friends start getting along with her, there's the potential for jealousy, no matter the gender. I, personally, feel for the girl. Who can she hang out with without even the slightest question of impropriety? I guess, she could always keep looking for that man who never gets jealous ...
If I couldn't even trust a man I'm dating when he's out with his guys, well I think I'd go crazy. Also, I'm pretty sure that, besides dark hair and dark eyes, my type includes picking a side and sticking with it.
So I guess the question is two-fold. How does one avoid the pitfalls of dating in the murky world of gay, straight and somewhere in-between? Or is this a fundamental question of trust and not sexual preference?

now thats a small can of worms. I don't think you can avoid these kind of pitfalls. Its a little harder to beat people into submission with societal norms. If she's like any of the bisexual women i know, then he knew from the get-go. Announcing you're dating a bisexual woman may get you a free beer and a pat on the back and a lot of guys saying "Dog, if i had that.." but, inevitably, someone will say "She's out with the ladies? is she bringing one home or she staying out tonight?"
I think it'd be hard not to assume that my bisexual gf didn't have a gf. I think a lot of the suspicion would come from if she's seeing another guy too. Bisexual people do have a nympho stereotype. The other stereotype/assumption is that the guy wouldn't be upset if his bi gf brought home her gf so they could all play together.
Thats the kind of life i would hear stories about and laugh at but wouldn't want for myself. STDs can be transmitted between women too.
