Hello Everyone! So i've been on mfp for almost a year now. However, I'm learning and finding new things out about myself. I've recently come to admit that i'm bisexual. I am fairly new at the lifestyle and I have a lot that i'm thinking about and I would like to become friends with some people of the same interests (male or female). It would be even better to have someone that is super motivated to become fit or loose weight like I am, as well. Message me or add me, if you'd like to become friends! Thanks all! :heart: :flowerforyou: :smile:

    Calling being bisexual a "lifestyle" might have put some people off. Your sexual orientation is not your lifestyle. You're on MFP. You are attempting to achieve an active lifestyle while, perhaps, living a middle-class lifestyle.

    Just food for thought. :-) Best of luck in your continued weight loss journey.

    rjs0416, i'm not sure what you mean by not being a lifestyle. I beieve my sexuality IS part of how I LIVE my life. That's why I wrote it as I did. I understand where you are coming from, but I have to disagree with you, to an extent. I'm obviously new and fresh at the discoverance on my behalf, so it has become a heavy part of my lifestyle since i'm learning and experiencing new things.... Just food for thought.

    Thanks too, btw. :bigsmile:

    I understand that, Chelsie, but many of us who have come out as LGB a while ago cringe at hearing our innate capacity for sexual attraction and love referred to as an all-encompassing "lifestyle".

    It's a term that the conservative and/or religious right utilize more often than not to promote the "gays can change" idea.

    I believe that the gender of the person you're dating or having sex with is an irrelevant fact and has nothing to do with your lifestyle. It's not an important enough derivation in sex or romance that makes it any different than heterosexuals.

    One can change his or her lifestyle habits, but one cannot change his or her sexual identity.

    See what I'm getting at?
