my last relationship ended 3-4 years ago with him cheating on me and I haven't dated seriously since then. tbh I'm more and more considering 4B because my experiences on dating apps haven't been great and at some point you have to stop and wonder what is this for exactly? so I can care for 2 people instead of just looking out for myself? so I can center a man instead of me?

This is the thing. I'm bisexual but I literally do not have the energy a man requires of me lol currently, working as much as I do, I don't have the energy required for ANYTHING serious with anyone, but particularly with men there's some degree of "puppy training" required even from the most well-behaved ones (even our cool male friends who always vote left & believes in abortion proooobably don't load the dishwasher very often, or pick up after themselves without being asked or...), and I genuinely cannot talk myself into it. It's just so not worth it.

exactly this, I'm also bi but have never had luck with the ladies so at this point I'm just tired and don't have energy for anything. I have enough problems on my own without adding someone else's but especially a man's

I'm bi too and while I still find men sexually attractive they just aren't worth the trouble. I've had more dick than most people get in a lifetime so I'm good.

Same. I'm bi, too. To be fair both m/f relationships have been difficult for different reasons but I'm tired of babysitting men (even the decent ones).

I have my own place and I don't want to share it and end up emotional nurse-maid/housekeeper to a dude.

My next relationship will probably be a woman again. I have zero trust in men nowadays and in this new political climate? Hard no.
