I always thought DADT was a horrible compromise, I was glad to hear it was got rid of.

You will be assimilated; it is His Will.
Why?
What is wrong with being with people you like and not being with people you don't like?
The fact that you base who you like and don't like on their sexual orientation says more about you than you probably realize.
Edit: and please don't try to claim all straight people. I'm straight myself, but between living with you and your ilk or living with in a city with all the gay guys, lesbians, bi people and trans people, it's not you I'd choose to live with.

It just seems to me like a silly reason not to like somebody.
And this is the guy that was reciting "love always finds a way" just yesterday in another debate.
Okay...

It works both ways you know. People like to be with people they like. Why is that a problem to you.
Funny how your suggestion for dividing people up into gay or straight populations as a solution is in a thread all about biphobia.

This thread is growing into a case study all of its own.

I would've thought my brand of "Christianity" would be refreshing. Here is a man that truly doesn't give a F. I say exactly what I feel regardless of how people will take it. I'm not concerned with impressing people with moral character. The church is filled with people trying to act perfectly. I on the other hand am a man of the people. My flaws make me relatable. As far as my standing with God, I still hold fast to the assertion that I'll make it to Heaven but it'll be by the skin of my teeth

You may describe it differently than I but you've essentially affirmed that you possess what I'm talking about: confidence. I'll put it another way a man should be "brimming with confidence". Perhaps that tastes better going down for you. Of course, maybe you're not brimming with confidence. The fact that you still find partners shows there's more than one way to skin a cat. I don't claim to possess the only way, I just think it's the best way. And all I'm really asking for is for guys to believe in themselves. If you don't believe in yourself how can a partner believe in you?

I must have missed something. Is this thread about biphobia or displays of machismo and self-aggrandizement?
Perhaps we also need a thread about the erasure of biphobia.

machismo is a filthy concept because it doesn't respect women. Love and respect for a woman is the way to her heart. That's the last I'll say about that
There is so much irony in this post that I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry. I should probably do one then the other as a compromise.

To quote Mystic's OP
This thread is created for the purpose of sharing stories either personal or academic that exemplifies the biphobia, transphobia, and monosexism in our everyday lives. I'm inviting stories of transphobia into this thread as well since I offer the inclusion of gender-pervasiveness (all one or all another) in regards to identity and attraction.
And it didn't take long for the transphobia to come in, then the biphobia and homophobia to find it's way here, even though it is supposed to be for people to share their experiences with it, not for people to barge in and prove it's existence.
Respecting women isn't assuming you can have any women you want, it isn't assuming you have to be "borderline cocky," and it isn't calling a woman arrogant because she is straight forward in that you don't stand a chance at getting her. This thread is also not about you, and it's not about how you think your god's gift to women because your "borderline" cocky.
Because I have straight friends and family members, and hiding away the things you "don't like" is insanely childish. Like the kid who puts his peas underneath the plate to hide them.
Let's also make black only cities, and Jewish only cities, and Christian only cities. because the Jewish Ghettos in Germany were such an amazing idea.
It has been already erased in this thread, by those who want to take the topic in the wrong direction by their blatant lack of empathy for anything that is different then they are.
This is the last reply you will get form me on this thread, get on topic or leave the thread.
As for you're comment: You're cocky, everything about you does not "exude confidence".
Case in point:
"I would've thought my brand of "Christianity" would be refreshing. Here is a man that truly doesn't give a F. I say exactly what I feel regardless of how people will take it."
This is not a confident statement.
"machismo is a filthy concept because it doesn't respect women. Love and respect for a woman is the way to her heart. That's the last I'll say about that"
Machismo(noun): strong or aggressive masculine pride
ding ding ding, we have a winnnnnerrrrrrrrr!

Your brand of "Christianity" is the worst*. You don't practice what you actually preach but you still preach it. You're a jerk about it by being rude. Your moral character is completely evident by your comments. It is a good thing by the way you're not aiming to impress. I know Christians who strongly disapprove of homosexuality who are still not jerks about it. They actually embody the love they preach and while I believe they are wrong and still harmful they are minimizing the harm they cause and they are if nothing else, completely genuine. Take Pope Francis if you will, there's no indication he thinks that sex outside of marriage is OK straight or gay, but he doesn't feel the need to focus on it or berate people for it like (demoted) Cardinal Burke. All you do with your words is make people like me ever more convinced that if your God is cool with how you act, we don't want any part of such a god.
And yet you've disrespected at least one specific woman throughout this entire thread. Weird.
*Short of actually being violent.
