Well I would assume that biggest misconception is that people confuses them with being gay. New alter Bi's are not gay, being gay is completely different thing.

A second thing is that people think BI's are more prone to Threesomes, be it MMF or MFF. Now logically you would think they would be more interested in multiple partners, but the truth is they may not into multi partners any more than straight or gay people.

BI's are more into open relationships, now honestly I would think this WOULD be more likely true... but I do not really know honestly. I assume they fall in love at some point and can want monogamy as much as anyone with the right person.

That bi people liars. I see this directed at bi men particularly, but its like this idea that if you didn’t tell someone that your bi that you’ve somehow lied to them.

I wouldn’t care that deeply but not telling someone you sleep with your bi is considered sex under false pretence in the uk. You don’t legally need to say if you have hiv, but its rape if you don’t say your bi. That just doesn’t seem right to me

I see it so often online, that a lot of people assume if you're bisexual, you want to do threesomes or date more than one person, or cannot be faithful.

I think people think it doesn’t exist... there is either straight or gay. I disagree... I think there’s lots of gray in sexuality and that’s bi.

i also heard people say they cheat a lot because they want to be with both sexes... I don’t think that’s true either

I don't think this is a misconception. They have many more choices for sexual relations and they are likely to cheat.
