It\'s not about how Bisexuals should be, it\'s about the writing. Of course bisexual people in real life has preferences, just like some gay people are warry of [[ButNotTooGay PDA]]. But I think you\'d be hard pressed to find bisexual people who want their same sex attraction to be treated as titillation or a joke to everyone else, and that\'s often what\'s happening here. Secondly, these characters aren\'t real people, they are created for an audience and it shows. The bisxual woman who always seem to end up with a man is one of the most common complaints from bi people about the media (well, after the fact they\'re invisible of course). In short, it\'s a good thing that you think about bisexual people in real life, but most writers don\'t. Wether it\'s concious or not, most bisexual character end up having their sexuality exploited and tailored to be devices for making an inoffensive queer character, an exotic character, a funny character or what have you. Maybe you think it\'s realistic, but I won\'t indintify with these characters anytime soon.
