Do bisexuals have a preference?

[Anonymous]

I know they are attracted to both genders.. but do they have a preference for one over the other or is it equal?

Sexuality - including bisexuality - is a spectrum.

And especially bisexuality has many flavours.

It's best to assume nothing when it comes to someone who's just told you they're bi.

If someone is 1% attracted to men and 99% attracted to women, they're still technically bi but may prefer identifying as something else.

Someone 50% attracted to people of their same gender and 50% attracted to people of a different gender, they're still bi.

I'm bi and non-binary, and am myself about 75%:25% women/enby:men in preference.

Sexually, men, women, and enbies all excite me. Women and femme presenting folks are more attractive to me than men or masculine folks. I'm also much more romantically interested in women.

Sexuality is a spectrum, and it is fluid.

I used to think I was 50:50 women:men, but then I discovered it isn't just a gender binary and I have waaaaay stronger feelings for women and femmes than for men.

I'm bi and have had two relationships with guys and now two with girls. So just looking at that you would think I really don't care. However I lean towards girls for sure. It just isn't as easy to find a girlfriend because the majority of girls are straight. That said I find dating a girl more relatable for me personally. I connect with them better and I feel deeper than I do with guys. That doesn't mean for a second that the relationships I had with the two guys were not good. It is just different and hard to explain.

Thank you for most helpful opinion!

Well this question was kind of an alternative to PMing you so I guess MHO is justified 💀

I think they have a preference as far as long term relationships. I dated a bisexual that wanted a long term commitment from guys and not girls. There is a bisexual woman on here that told me she is more interested in a long term relationship with a woman but has dated guys.

I'm sure they do. I'm sure it is different with each person.

Some it may be close to 50/50, some 80/20 to one sex or 60/40. It varies with each bi person I'd assume.

I am not a bisexual but I can imagine some of them can favor females over males or males over females.

[Apple1996]

Some do, some don't. I'm bisexual and I prefer women for relationships and men for sex. I can make both realtionship and sex work with both but can be a bit tricky

Yes it’s true that they usually lean more firmly towards liking one gender over another. A bisexual can be sexually and romantically attracted to both genders and still only fantasise about sex with one gender and tend to sleep with and date one gender and just get small, fleeting crushes on the other gender.

Is that how you feel?

[Opinion Owner]

@Grima honestly? Yes.

[Grima]

So you are sexually attracted more to women?

[Opinion Owner]

@Grima more to men

[Grima]

What type of attraction do you have to other women? Is it sexual or romantic? Are you usually turned on by them?

[Opinion Owner]

@Grima both and only a bit.

[Grima]

Do you identify as bisexual or straight?

[Opinion Owner]

@Grima bisexual

[Grima]

But why do you identify as bisexual when you're not very attracted to women?

[Opinion Owner]

@Grima because I still am a little bit

[Grima]

Then the vast majority of women are bisexual

[TruthBeTold77]

Think that depends on the individual themselves, don't you think.

I've only dated guys, never women.

I live in the South where LGBT is frowned upon, and so it's impossible to find someone of the same sex to date.

[nik0102]

there are times where i feel less and less attracted to women

[Nifrayu]

I do. I find myself attracted to men, but I have always preferred women.
