Matchmaking for Bisexuals within an Inclusive Online Dating Framework at Consonance (Gleichklang)

For 20 years, we at Consonance (Gleichklang) have been active as a matchmaking service for bisexuals in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, based on our inclusive approach that encompasses all sexual orientations!

This is how we implement bisexual matchmaking:

  • We ask our members about their sexual orientation
  • We record the acceptance of bisexuality from all our members in their partner search.
  • We only offer suggestions to our bisexual members where this acceptance is given.

Through this acceptance principle and the visibility of bisexuality in partner search, bisexual men, women, and non‑binary individuals have very high chances of successfully finding a partner at Consonance:

Visibility and Inclusion of Bisexuality in Online Dating at Consonance (Gleichklang)

Having a fulfilling partnership is one of the most important factors for individual life satisfaction. Accordingly, the market for online matchmaking continues to boom.

Bisexual men and women are currently either largely excluded or largely ignored by all major and almost all smaller dating sites. Because as a man or woman, on many dating sites it is only possible to search either for a man or for a woman.

Even if a search for both genders is possible, no other matchmaking service in the German‑speaking region records the acceptance of bisexuality among all members looking for a partner. For a truly fulfilling, sustainable, and happy partnership, however, it is essential that partners meet the bisexuality of their partners with appreciation, acceptance, or positive interest.

In addition to acceptance, mutual bisexuality can also play an important role in the search for a partner. For many bisexuals, this is not central. Others, however, wish for partners who not only accept and appreciate their bisexuality, but also share it. This can give rise to special relationship constellations that in some cases also go beyond the boundaries of a monogamous relationship in the sense of expanding into consensual non‑monogamy. On the basis of appreciation and consent, such relationships can be just as happy and sustainable as traditional couple relationships, according to psychological research findings.

At Consonance, our bisexual members decide for themselves whether acceptance of their bisexuality is the decisive criterion for their partner search, or whether they wish to search for likewise bisexual or pansexual partners. This creates compatible relationships that have a high potential for emotional and sexual fulfillment.

While bisexuality is more or less excluded or not sufficiently considered by most matchmaking services, we at Consonance have placed bisexuality as the third major sexual orientation of humans at the forefront of our matchmaking. On this basis, we enable online dating that does justice to the reality and experience of bisexual people and helps them form sustainable relationships.

Psychological Relationship Search at Consonance (Gleichklang)

We have been and remain the pioneers for bisexual partner search in the German‑speaking region. Since our founding in 2006, we have made the partner search of our bisexual members a matter close to our hearts.

In fact, our work goes far beyond pure matchmaking. In addition to finding a partner, our members also find friendships, friendships+, projects, shared activities, and community:

  • At Consonance, as a bisexual man, bisexual woman, or non‑binary person, you can find various forms of partnerships and relationships:
  • Monogamous couple relationship with a person who accepts your bisexuality.
  • Monogamous partnership with a bisexual person with whom you can live out your bisexuality together.
  • Open relationships, swinger relationships, polyamorous relationships, or group relationships with people who are either bisexual themselves or who fully accept and appreciate your bisexuality.
  • Friendships+ that include friendship and sexuality against the background of acceptance of your bisexuality or shared bisexuality.
  • Projects and communities where visibility of bisexuality is given.

Psychological research also shows that the romantic and sexual interests of bisexual people are diverse. Some desire a classic monogamous couple relationship, others prefer more open or polyamorous relationship forms, and still others clearly distinguish between romantic attachment and sexual diversity. These differences are expressions of individual preferences, not characteristics of a uniform bisexual lifestyle.

Consonance takes this diversity into account by making all these relationship models equally visible and supporting their implementation in sustainable relationships.

Discrimination and Prejudices: What We Must Overcome! at Consonance (Gleichklang)

Despite all social progress, bisexuals still experience a high degree of prejudice and discrimination. This happens not only from the heterosexual majority, but even within the LGBTQ+ community. Bisexuality is often reduced to sexuality, bisexuals are denied the ability or willingness to be monogamous, or conversely, polyamorous, open, or swinger relationships are not recognized as full relationships.

Expressions of discrimination against bisexuality are invisibility, prejudices, and the widespread tendency to either negate bisexuality or reduce it to sexual behavior. These conditions directly affect partner search, relationship stability, and openness in the social environment.

Many bisexual men and women therefore experience partner search as more difficult. Not a few feel compelled to conceal their orientation or adapt to monosexual expectations. Consonance counters this situation with an emancipatory model that sees and recognizes bisexuality.

This ongoing discrimination is reflected in online dating by the fact that bisexuality does not receive sufficient space in matching algorithms. This ignorance of bisexual singles by dating sites is also a form of discrimination that simultaneously shows how much society still neglects bisexuals and their concerns.

At the same time, bisexuals still lack sufficiently effective representation in politics and society, so that their discrimination in the dating market is largely accepted without comment. The current global societal right‑wing trend intensifies this discrimination and even makes progress already achieved appear endangered in many regions of the world.

As a result, bisexuals are not only little or not visible on dating platforms, but bisexuality is also hardly addressed in the context of romantic relationships. The ignorance of the concerns of bisexual singles by most online matchmaking services thus reflects the fundamental problem of the widespread invisibility of bisexual lifestyles in society. With the bisexual search option, Consonance as a matchmaking service contributes to increasing the visibility of bisexuality and improving acceptance of the bisexual orientation.

Fulfilling Love Relationships and Sexuality at Consonance (Gleichklang)

For almost 20 years, we at Consonance have shown that deep and sustainable partnerships benefit from considering bisexuality. Understanding, acceptance, and appreciation form the foundation of partnership relationships. Being informed about the sexual needs and orientation of one’s partner and walking a common path improves relationship satisfaction and relationship quality.

Even in monogamous couple relationships, bisexuals become happier when they disclose their orientation and their partners respond lovingly and acceptingly. In open relationships, polyamorous relationships, swinger relationships, or group relationships, living out bisexual desires can decisively contribute to sexual fulfillment, relationship satisfaction, and life satisfaction.

With our emancipatory and psychological approach, we at Consonance work to ensure that our bisexual members – like all other members – find romantic and sexual fulfillment in sustainable partnerships and friendships:
