last friday i overheard this conversation between two first year college guys. they were talking about a school project that involved going to high schools and distributing questionnaires. they were discussing the schools that they’ll cover. the first guy told the second guy that he wants to go with second guy if he was going to st. paul’s. then all of a sudden the first guy asked his friend, “what would you do if you like this girl and you find out that she’s bisexual? liligawan mo pa rin ba?” i don’t quite remember his friend’s reply. first guy continued, “ang hirap nun kung marami syang kaibigan na babae, di mo alam kabit na nya pala yun.” then they made generalizations that 40% of girls are bisexual or something. i don’t know where they got this figure.
this conversation just struck me because i never really thought about female bisexuality from a boy/man’s point of view. it must be because being female, i’m more preoccupied about the dangers of getting involved with guys who are bisexuals or closet homosexuals. do guys really worry about female bisexuality or was this something that only teenage guys worry about?
earlier that same day, i was listening to nicoleliyala (is that the spelling) read a problem sent by a female listener who was in a relationship with another female. she was complaining about how possessive and jealous her partner was. i liked how nicoleliyala answered the listener. she said something like women are very emotional by nature so being in a relationship with another female doubles the emotional “aspect” of the relationship. i wouldn’t know how true that would be but it seems highly probable.
