History Main / ButNotTooBi

* ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'': Jet is never stated to be bi on the show, despite it being indirectly confirmed via WordOfGay. Due to not being a human, however, it can be hard to say if his sexuality can be categorized at all, although he's definitely shown attraction to multiple genders.

* The titular ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'' makes it very clear right from the start that she doesn't care about the gender of the one she is with, as long as they're not an ordinary human being. However, aside from her fixation on [[ReluctantFanserviceGirl Mikuru]] (which isn't treated seriously, as it's largely PlayedForLaughs and {{Fanservice}}), she doesn't really show any romantic interest in other girls, and it seems as though only boys have confessed to her.

* Haruhi from ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'' makes it very clear right from the start that she doesn't care about the gender of the one she is with, as long as they're not an ordinary human being. However, aside from her fixation on [[ReluctantFanserviceGirl Mikuru]] (which isn't treated seriously, as it's largely PlayedForLaughs and {{Fanservice}}), she doesn't really show any romantic interest in other girls, and it seems as though only boys have confessed to her.

* Jane from ''Happy Endings'' has had past relationships with both men and women but she is married to a man and the one time she engages in any same-sex behavior, it's {{fanservice}} for her husband.

* Donna Freedman from ''Series/{{Neighbours}}'' unfortunately turned out like this. Having taken the brave step of having a bisexual character and acknowledging this in a subtle coming-out scene, the producers never explored her sexuality apart from a token peck on the lips with a female character.

* ''Series/TheGoodPlace'': Eleanor is pretty flirty with women as well as men, explicitly states possible attraction to Tahani (though it was always [[PlayedForLaughs played for laughs]]), and was even confirmed bisexual by the creators, but in the actual series she only ever had male love interests and male exes.

* ''Series/TrueBlood'': When Talbot comes onvto Eric, Eric says this is new. Talbot naturally assumes he's talking about being with another man, but Eric clarifies that he meant being with another vampire. But later seasons contradict this claim by revealing that Eric had been FriendsWithBenefits with his progeny Pam and his "sister" Nora for over a century, while it has never been revealed or even suggested that he has ever been with another man. But then again, Eric was seducing Talbot to kill him, meaning he was possibly just telling him what he wanted to hear and might have never been attracted to men in the first place. This would not be out of character for him.

* Yuri from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'' is a notably egregious example as one of the reasons he was added in the first place was to help address the criticisms that the game was homophobic. Particularly towards gay and bisexual men as, pre-DLC, male Byleth had exactly one same-sex ending vs. over twenty straight ones (female Byleth had four). Despite being CampGay, Yuri has exactly one romantic ending with another man, this being male Byleth again. His only other male ending is platonic, while all his endings with women are explicitly romantic. Though Yuri became a popular fan favorite even so, this is still a huge sore spot for fans of the game.

* ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'': Jet is never stated to be bi on the show, despite it being indirectly confirmed via WordOfGay. Justified, as this is a PBS show. Due to not being a human, however, it can be hard to say if his sexuality can be categorized at all, although he's definitely shown attraction to multiple genders.

* Valkyrie from ''Film/ThorRagnarok'' is written as a bisexual mourning her lost girlfriend, but the flashback making it clear that they were lovers was cut from the final film, making her bisexuality limited to WordOfGay.

Alice is stated or implied to be bisexual, gets flirty with both genders, and/or it's confirmed [[WordOfGay by the writers]], but within the story itself, all of her romantic and sexual partners are men. As one can guess, it is often the character's same-sex attraction that gets shafted, limited to only {{Noodle Incident}}s, [[HideYourLesbians subtext, and innuendos]]. This could be an attempt at appeasing MoralGuardians, especially in older works or those aimed at young viewers, but many will note the DoubleStandard. Sometimes, it might even go the other way if the work is aimed at queer audiences; the character may talk about still finding the opposite gender attractive, and they might have a former spouse or biological child to prove it, but nowadays we only ever see them with the same gender.

* The titular character in ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHercules'' has no qualms discussing various paramours of any gender; he doesn't shy away from talking about his homosexual encounters during the time of Greek myth, and it's strongly hinted [[spoiler:at his funeral]] that he had a fling with Northstar, Marvel's first gay hero. However, the only confirmed lovers he has in the present time frame are all women.

* ''Film/{{Anon}}'': Most of Anon's former lovers were men, though one pair of women was also seen.

* ''Literature/KushielsLegacy'': All three protagonists are at least theoretically bisexual, but all the "main" relationships and final pairings are hetero, as are the majority of the briefer encounters. Phedre [[spoiler:dallies with a few women and has her ongoing complex attraction to Melisande (though they are never lovers again after Skaldia), plus a long-term friends-and-lovers arrangement with Nicola, whom she sees very rarely]]. Imriel largely avoids men due to past trauma, though [[spoiler:he does at least allow a male Servant of Naamah to pleasure him, and makes love with Sunjata as Leander]]. Moirin is often seen to have better chemistry with her female lovers [[spoiler:particularly Jehanne and Snow Tiger]] than her male ones, but is tied into her relationship with Bao, almost literally.

* ''Series/CarnivalRow'': Vignette and Tourmaline were once lovers, but are only seen with men or interested by them in the present (they kiss once and Tourmaline would like a relationship again, but Vignette turns her down).

* ''Literature/HighFidelity'': The series has Rob be shown as dating a woman previously, although most of her exes are men in the flashbacks. She is never seen involved with nor even attracted to women in the present.

* ''Series/KillingEve'': All over the place.
** Villanelle is a curious inverse, where she is only shown having sex with men in a threesome (admittedly with two men) in Season 1 and only becomes obsessed or develops romantic relationships with women. This may be because it's easier for her to fulfill the PsychoLesbian archetype like that.
** Eve is called bisexual by Bill, and she's definitely attracted to Villanelle, but she [[IfItsYouItsOkay never mentions ever having romantic feelings for another woman]], she's married to a man, and she even slept with Hugo in Season 2.
** Nadia is described as having had a sexual relationship with Villanelle in the past, but she's currently romantically involved with [[BastardBoyfriend Diego]], and [[spoiler:even after he dies]], she's not shown entering in any other romantic relationship before [[spoiler:Villanelle kills her.]]

* ''Series/TheLWord'': Alice and Tina are both bisexual, though nearly all their relationships are with women, getting much more focus. Usually they're just called lesbians.

* In ''Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba'', the 2nd Databook states that Suma is bisexual, considering she is also revealed to be Tengen original's wife, that comes in handy with she being very accepting of Hinatsuru and Makio being married off to Tengen as well, but other than that offhand revelation in a side-material Suma in the series proper is only shown to love her husband Tengen just like her companion wives do.

* ''VideoGame/LifeIsStrange2'' came in for a little criticism for its two main romantic options for bisexual protagonist Sean. The different-sex romance route can end with Sean losing his virginity to Cassidy, and indeed the game actively encourages the player to do so, as well as making her romance scene unskippable. However, the same-sex romance route with Finn is easily locked off by earlier, seemingly unrelated dialogue choices and ends with a kiss at most even if Sean and Finn's relationship is maxed. Lightly {{Downplayed}} in that it's more a case of ''Life Is Strange'' always promoting the female love interest over the male (the other three main titles in the series feature bi women protagonists and also nudge the player towards the female romantic option to varying degrees), but that doesn't really negate the use of this trope.
