I've frequently wondered how to handle different sexual orientations in GURPS. I'm just curious as to why bisexuality would generally be a quirk, though I suppose in stringent, "traditional" societies any deviation from the sexual norm would count against you.

Not to derail the thread. Here's a few more quirks!

It's not fun if it's too easy The character will only attempt to hit on people he knows are already in a relationship. Generally, characters with this quirk will only target people who are already in failing relationships or are reasonably certain the significant other poses no threat. E.g., Most people know not to try and steal the girlfriend of a battle hardened assassin with Bad Temper and a black belt in three different martial arts. (This quirk is generally incompatable with Lecherousness, but works well with Overconfidence).

They're not THAT much better than me A form of quirk level of Jealousy. You hold people with a certain desirable trait you do not possess in comtempt. This must be a relatively broad trait, such those with higher IQs, more Wealth, a better Status, or better Appearance. Such people occasionally react at -1 due to the off-putting demeanor you have around them.
