I’m sure you have all seen the ads for Chemistry.com urging you to “come as you are.” I find this incredibly interesting, and by interesting I mean blatantly hypocritical as Chemistry.com is a product of Match.com and are openly marketing themselves this way, the discrepancy with which you can see a few posts earlier. While they are positioning themselves in opposition to eHarmony as the more gay-friendly, open, accepting online dating service… they have done nothing to address the complaints of prospective bisexual members. I can’t list myself as openly bisexual and once again I can only choose to search for either men or women, not both. I do not feel comfortable with an organization that touts moralistic statements about love and commitment forcing me to fraudulently portray myself. I am not straight and I am not gay. I am proud of my bisexuality and don’t understand why this site won’t allow me to list my sexual orientation.
Also, what the hell is with some of these questions about “traditional values” and “moral correctness” and “respecting and preserving established traditions and customs”? I listed myself as female seeking female… why even bother asking that at this point? *finishes profile for kicks*
Explorer - 27%, Negotiator - 32%, Builder 16%, Director - 24% …. wow, how inconclusive. Naturally, they are only matching me with other Negotiator/Explorers… pity I tend to like people who are completely different from me.
Oh ho! and there is your obligatory “we’re a couple looking to add a third woman to our relationship NSA” post *sighs* I don’t know why I even get my hopes up for these things.

There’s also OkCupid.com. They do allow you to list yourself as bi, and to explicitly search for men and women at the same time.
Not sure how effective it is as a dating service - met a couple girls there but nothing stuck. Might be worth a try though :)
Oh I’ve tried OkCupid as you can see if you read my earlier post on the subject :) but thanks
