It's not about fertilization for me, it's about sex being tied to love and respect. Now, I'll flirt with women a lot more readily than I'll flirt with men because, for some reason, women don't take it seriously and don't expect anything to come of it.
this is how my wife sees it, too.

but, I also disagree with part of Halx's premise. I think that often women flirt/more with other women, not necessarily because they are bi, but because it's in fashion and/or turns men on. I'm NOT saying that bi women do this as normal, but that some may be doing this and often women we might think are bi (because many men want to believe the two women they are looking at are about to get it on, and some intentionally lead us to believe this) but are really straight having fun.

and so we could combine the notion that bi women on women are more socially acceptable than other forms of homosexuality; and that this combines with popular notions of beauty to further reduce the stigma of homosexual exhibitions in public among hotties; and that for the most part, women don't really have good social training on how to pursue the other (man or woman) and that they might be more open to gettin it on when they finally find "another."


all that said, I've met a number of bi women who think/act "like men"
and also a number of bi women who think/act "like women"

what you're talking about doen't apply equally to both types.
