Certain cities attract large population of bisexual singles and couples for a
variety of reasons. They might have a long tradition of liberal activism
leading to greater awareness and protection of sexual minorities. Or
they might be home to numerous colleges and universities thus making for
a progressive intellectual way of life which is tolerant of various
minorities. Here are some cities on the planet which have attracted a
large bisexual population over the years.

Sydney
Sydney is one of the most vibrant cities of the world which is open
to people of different races, ethnicities, lifestyles and sexualities.
Here bisexual and bi curious men and women are integrated into the everyday life
of the city and the Sydney Mardi Gras is a three week-long festival and
the biggest dance party in the country. While the bisexual men population of the
city is centered in Oxford Street, the bisexual women population is spread
through Inner West: a group of neighborhoods right outside downtown
where bisexual women couples can be easily seen walking hand in hand. The
local Mecca of bisexual women her is Newtown boasts weekly girls nights funky
coffee shops, organic markets, several independent theaters screening
both movies and live performances, some of the best Thai food in the
city as well as all-around queer-friendliness. Above all, it is just a
ten-minute train trip or bus ride to the city's center and under half an
hour to some of the city's most famous beaches. In this neighborhood,
most of the bisexual women action is located on King Street which begins at the
line of St. Peters and ends just before the University of Sydney.
nearby is another bisexual-friendly place Enmore which is more
alternative than Newtown and here the top draw is the swanky Green Room
where bartenders get creative with dozens of funky and tasty and where there is live music going as well. Newtown's neighbor to the South is
Erskineville, also referred to as Erko by the local bi women population,
which serves as home to many older bisexual women and those seeking a more
subdued pub scene with small-town charm, relaxed cafes that spill out
onto streets and bars that tend to close much earlier than their Newtown
counterparts. This is especially favored by bi women couples because of
its small one- or two-bedroom homes which make it a family friendly
locale. Marrickville is another popular bisexual women neighborhood in Sydney
that is fairly affordable, artsy, alternative and ethnically diverse. The only catch is perhaps that it's farther West than Newtown and
Enmore, and therefore less convenient for frequent trips to the city A
small Portuguese enclave serves up some of the best food in the city,
and the main strip is reminiscent of Newtown's bisexual-friendly
hotspots.
Northampton
Dubbed ‘Bisexual Women’ by The National Enquirer as far back as 1992,
Northampton in the state of Massachusetts has one of the largest bisexual women
populations among the major cities of the country. That the place is
great to find girls is evident from statistics compiled by the 2000 US
Census according to which there are only 71 males for every 100 females
age 18 and over. A vibrant intellectual atmosphere as well as the fact
that the state of Massachusetts is one of the few to legally allow bisexual women to get married makes Northampton a desirable place for bisexual women. While the entire city seems safe for bisexual women to live, areas
around the universities as well as places like the Crafts Avenue and
Main Street attract most bisexual females visitors.
San Francisco
San Francisco is another city in the United States that is likely to
figure in any world list of bisexual females-friendly cities. The capital city of
California has long been considered the Mecca for the LGBT community,
ever since the political and radical movement of the 1960s. Here bisexual women and men make up a whopping 15% of the overall city population which
is the highest in the country according to statistics from
the American Community Survey. One could start off the day for instance
in the Dolores Park Café and then browse through the numerous shops on
Haight Street which was the birthplace of the hippie movement in the
country, perhaps stopping by for a quick drink at the Trax which is one
of the trendiest bisexual females joints on the street. Bernal Heights is yet
another popular neighborhood for bisexual women and there the Wild Side West
is one of the most frequented bisexual females bars. Or one could stop for a spot
of lunch at The Lexington Club, a bisexual female-friendly club and then round
off the day with dessert at the Citizen Café where award-winning out bisexual women chef/owner Elizabeth Falkner serves up delicious cakes, cookies
and other sweet delicacies. Not to forget the historic City Hall where
in 2004 bisexual men and women apparently lined up for weeks in order to get
married.
New York City
The Maximum City must figure on any list of cities with a significant bisexual females community on account of the sheer size of its LGBT population.
According to the 2000 US Census, New York City has the largest LGBT
population in United States amounting to a staggering 272,493 residents
and constituting around 4.5% of the city’s total population. Boroughs
like Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn are believed to attract large
numbers of bisexuals even though West Village, Jackson Heights
and Metropolitan Avenue feature some of the hippest bi females hangouts.
West Village in particular is home to many old pubs and bars in the
neighborhood which formed the crux of LGBT rights movements and bohemian
culture in the past decades. Apart from this every year through the
entire fourth week of June, West Village hosts the New York Gay Festival
with the five major events being The Rally, PrideFest, The March, the
Dance on the Pier, and Rapture on the River. Among these the most
significant is the March which commemorates the Stonewall Riots which
marked a turning point in the history of struggle for bisexuals
rights on the morning of June 28, 1969. Finally West Village is close to
other bisexual females neighborhoods in NYC like Chelsea and the East Village
and thus attracts a high percentage of Sapphos looking to hang out at
its pubs or soak in the history of the place.
Paris
A long history of sexual and artistic experimentation as well the
French tolerance for private life means that Paris is one of the best
cities for bisexual females on the planet. Most of them are concentrated in the
very center district called "Le Marais", in the 3rd and 4th arrondissements.

hotels particuliers, while shopping in Sainte Croix de la
Bretonnerie street or visiting the splendor of Place des Vosges,
tourists can come across same sex couples going out in Marais' venues.
The bisexual population of the city is particularly located on the
crossroad in south Marais between rue Du Roi de Sicile and rue Des
Ecouffes. Around here stand three of the main lesbian bars in Paris and
the only female dedicated sex-shop. Many Parisian gays prefer not to go
in oriented places and mix with the usual people with no problem. Apart
from these venues, Paris has a number of bisexual associations which
makes it one of the best places in the world to meet bisexual women – one
of these is the bi male-friendly women’s choir Les Gammes Elles, Bisexual
walking association called Les Bénines d 'Apie Bisexual film events
organization known as Cineffable, a bisexual dating agency Dîner Entre

lesbian magazine La Dizième Muse, a group of roup of Lesbian
Associations known as Coordination Lesbienne de France and A.R.C.L which
is a resource for Bisexual Archives, Researchs, Cultures.
Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro, the commercial and cultural capital of Brazil, is one
of the most bisexual-friendly places in South America. despite some
lingering homophobic tendencies, it is now quite common to see bisexual
women walking hand-in-hand on streets; likewise part of the tourism
industry is driven by traffic to bisexual-friendly beaches,
parades, nightspots and queer neighborhoods. among the most frequented
destinations are Ipanema and Copacabana. the latter sits in the Southern
part of the city near Avenida Atlantico. The area in front of the
Copacabana Palace hotel, known as Bolsa, is where same-sex travelers
worship the sun and take more-than-passing glances at scantily clad
bodies. Bisexuals also are concentrated at Farme de Amoedo, also
called Farme Gay, which is more cruise-oriented than Bolsa. an
especially great time to meet bisexual women in Rio is during Carnaval, an
annual festival that kicks off Mardi Gras in February, and a bisexual pride
celebration, which marches a parade down three miles of beaches, in
early June.
Bangkok
Though bisexual population is less empowered in Asia for a variety of
cultural and historical reasons, some cities have do figure as great
places to meet bisexual women. one such city is Bangkok which has a
large, exciting LGBT community. Though bisexual bars are fewer in number
as compared to bi guys bars, some of the places where you can meet women
ready for same-sex love are bars like Zeta at RCA which boasts of girls
only every night of the week! Friendly staff, girls, and live are some
of other attractions of this bisexual hangout. Diva’s Pub and She’s Club
are some of the other hangouts that cater exclusively to bisexual women in
Bangkok. Owned by a group of bisexual women, Vega Cafe is a bar and restaurant
combined. The atmosphere is casual and attracts mixed crowds. Apart
from karaoke facilities, the bar also hosts live bands which play local
and international favorites late at night. other than this there are
some popular bi male clubs like The Balcony, Telephone and DJ station where
lesbians are welcome too. Then again there are bisexual female oriented social
and dating groups like Lesla which claims to host the largest gathering
of bisexual women under one roof. With an increasing number of people joining,
Lesla has now decided to hold a weekly get-together every Saturday
night in order to give their members a chance to meet and mingle. The
event varies according to each week's theme.
