I'm a lesbian, and I honestly would prefer to date other lesbians. I have no problem with bisexual gals, do what you will and love who you want-but that's just me. I would prefer to date someone who is strictly with women, and I have no reason, it's just my preference, lol. But much love to everyone; this is in no way me trying to bash any bisexual people out there either. Love all.

I think that lesbians tend to relate and socialize better with girls they can identify with. That's not to say that they wouldn't date a bisexual woman. A lesbians experiences differ some from that of a bisexual, so they may take more comfort in sharing those life experiences with someone similar.

It depends on the person. Unfortunately, bisexuals experience discrimination on both sides and some individuals don't want to be with someone who has been "soiled by the other gender." In my opinion, though, anyone who would choose to demean your worth based off of your sexual history is a person who does not deserve you.

Yes. Some lesbians tend to fear that bisexual women will cheat on them or leave them for a man due to their "indecisiveness"

I think this really depends, I think there is a stereotype about lesbians not dating bisexuals, but I think it makes very little difference. I think this whole idea springs from the stereotypes about bisexual women ("they are all sluts", "they want to sleep with everyone", "they will cheat on you with someone of the opposite gender") which we know are nonsense. However I think this makes lesbian women less likely to have a casual relationship with an openly bisexual woman. There is also the fear that the bisexual woman will turn out just to have been experimenting, or will take the "easier" route of dating a man so she doesn't have to deal with criticism. That being said it does happen, personally as a mostly lesbian identifying woman I have been happily dating the same bisexual woman for nearly 5 years so I can assure you it does happen :) Hope that helps! Feel free to get in touch if you want to talk.

based on what i've heard, yes. from my experience, i would not care if the person was bi, pan, poly, or gay. i would date them if they made me feel loved, that's what is important in a relationship

As a bisexual myself i do think that some lesbians don't want to go out with us because we have been with guys where as they have only been with girls.

Lesbians are to date whomever they choose. Whether it be a bisexual female, a trans female, or any other female, it is.their preference, their choice, their label and they are still valid.

Just as no two heterosexual women are alike, no two lesbians are alike either, which means there isn't a yes or no answer to this question.
I have dated women who were bisexual before but honestly I was concerned about contracting STD's from them more so than I've ever been with a woman who only sleeps with women. That's not to say lesbians can't transmit STD's to each other, because they can, but there's a greater likelihood if you're dating a woman who has unprotected sex with men. But then again, I've also dated a lot of straight girls too and had the same fear.
Generally speaking, lesbians love women. So if a connection is made between the two women, anything is possible and in my case I don't use sexual attraction to men as a rule-out.

Sometimes, yes. Most lesbians have the fear that a bisexual girl will leave them for a guy. Though that is merely a stereotype.

Yes, as a bisexual I know that, since I have been turned down and even ditched (lmao) because of my sexuality, and since " I cant make up my mind".

Yes. Many lesbians are biphobic and see bisexual women as "on the fence," "tourists," "sleeping with the enemy," "just going through a phase," etc. It's more common in the older generations and among second-wave feminists, though.

Unfortunately there is a lot of bi phobia in the LGBTQ+ community. So some lesbians and others may have internalized stigma and stereotypes against bi people. However I can say from a personal standpoint as a lesbian that I am no less likely to date a bisexual girl. There isn't one answer from the lesbian community as you can see, as no one person speaks for everyone. However lesbians like women, bi women are women, and so using someone's sexual orientation as a reason not to date them is internalized bi phobia.

Not at all. There is no research that shows statistically that lesbians are less likely to date bisexual girls. Both parties date whoever they want :-)

it really depends on the person x If they love each other then nothing else would matter or come in the way :) Some lesbians may prefer to date other lesbians, but its just the same in my opinion to bate a bisexual x Bisexuals like both boys and girls, and there are a lot of stereotypes about both bisexuals and lesbians, but you shouldn't listen to it xx :)

Not exactly, lesbian girls will date a bisexual girl if the bisexual girl is interested in them and if they are interested in that girl, it all depends on how they feel not on the others sexual orientation

Sometimes yes. A lot of the time lesbians and gays discriminate against bisexuals because they see them as fake but you must overcome that and not let it bother you.

As a bisexual girl myself, I’d really hope not, however I can’t speak for lesbians! Honestly I can’t think of any reasons they’d not but I guess it’s all personal preference in the end

I've heard this to be the case, but in my personal experience, it isn't so. My best friend is a lesbian and her last girlfriend was a bisexual girl. So I think, no, lesbians are not less likely to dare a bisexual girl.

It's about the individual, really. Bisexuals sometimes tend to be viewed as "cheaters" or not "legit". Unfortunately, there are cases of discrimination even within the LGBTQ+ community. However, when it comes to a specific person, they should like you because of who you are and not because of a label on your sexual orientation.
