What you said was reasonable, so surprisingly I'm not going to argue against it.
What I will say is that people have the right to have an opinion. But who can really have an opinion of someone only after reading a few words? I would have to live your GF's life to be in any position even to make an assumption on if its normal or not, in any situation. Let alone the fact of what is 'normal' in the first place.
Now, I said I wouldn't go against what you said, and its true, only a foolish person what make judgement and even criticize someone else on absolutely anything. All we have is a personal opinion, and every opinion here on this entire site should be followed by a disclaimer:
'All replies given freely here do not in any way imply or assume total understanding of your personal situation. They are the personal opinions of individual members lending their thoughts on the matter. In no way should they be seen as the only point of view or fact of the matter itself"
Now that's off the top of my head, but quite obviously I respect all points of view, even the total opposite to mine. Who knows they may be right too.
In your case, yes it could easily be just as possible that your GF is Bi (and as a guy too, you lucky bastard!) My opinion is not meant to be the be all and end all. And I apologize on behalf of this site, that a 'disclaimer' had not be mentioned to you earlier. Actually, I'm going to check, hangon... I found this (only)
"What's this site all about?
isitnormal.com is an experiment to try begin to determine the meaning of the word 'normal'. A quick look in the dictionary will show that what constitues normal is not always so clear. So, ask the world about your situation, friend, habit or observation today and find out exactly where you stand."
Quite obviously this is not all that clear either. ie By asking a question you may not "find out exactly where you stand." These are just helpful opinions, nothing more, nothing less. And a big point on the 'nothing less' for you, my opinion was meant to be helpful to you, I also gave my time in reading and responding to you (even though many times the original poster doesn't reply back)
Re-reading my comment I see the issue, placed in brackets mind you. Stating 'how sad' you should be for possibly mistakenly not seeing another point of view.
This comment (agreed in retrospect I should have left out these words in brackets) was just a bit of humor. It's NOT sad of you even if you didn't know this option (ie Why would it be?) And if you did, then again it couldn't be sad.
It was meant lighthearted and humorous at no ones expense. I even placed it in brackets as if I was thinking it out loud.
ALL my other ideally helpful information was my comment, I even stated in the beginning "But I have a another (more likely) observation"
That's right, just an observation. No facts, No science. Just an opinion from experience and that's all.
Further to all this, I'm going to write to info@isitnormal, and ask that they DO write or rewrite a clearer 'disclaimer'. So for all this, I thank you for possibly starting a chain of events that may in turn change the 'What this site is all about', so that's pretty big.
Is it normal that my gf checks out other women while we're out?

Damn, my comment is too long, I'll divide it up.
