    i have just accepted the fact that i am bisexual. But one of the many reasons i had trouble with acceptance of my reality, is that i prefer women in 98% of cases. I find very few men attractive, maybe 1 in 500 to give you an idea of the rarity of my feelings towards men. I'm a very 'straight acting' guy and all my friends are what people would class as masculine guys.

    I always imagined that bisexual people where attracted 50/50 hence why i did not accept myself as a bisexual person, even tho i have previously had sexual encounters with men.

    The reason that this issue has come up is that i have recently met a man who i am very attracted to and so the issue was raised once again. I am in a long term relationship with a woman so i will not allow anything to happen, and hes straight anyway so theres no worries.

    The question i want to throw out there is this: Are you attracted to both sexes 50/50, is it random, or do you have a dominant preference a particular sex?

    i am much more attracted to women i find. the ratio of women i find attractive to men i find attractive is very one sided. in fact i'm not even sure i'd be considered bisexual, i have no interest in a relationship with a man, i just find some to be incredibly sexy. so yes i have a dominant interest women

    I am a bi woman. I find I am much more attracted to men but enjoy woman too. I would say that, for me, it is about 65/35.

    I'm in Lea's range. I say 70-30 male to female attraction.
    That is changing as I get older, however.

    When I was a teenager, I think I was equally attracted to men and women. Over time, I've gotten a lot gayer. I may be about 80% gay now. But for a long time I didn't really want to think about or admit that I was getting gayer, I thought that a bisexual was supposed to be 50/50, and I was... I dunno, failing at something if I wasn't. I think I thought it would mean "they" are right, bisexuals are just confused. But I don't think so. It was honest attraction back then, and it's honest now. Just more slanted.

    I'm a Bisexual married man, and when I was younger (in my teens and 20's) my sexual attraction towards men and women was about a 50/50 split. As I've gotten a little older (I'm 38 now) and married a wonderful woman (been married for 12 years)... My attraction level has shifted a bit, but NOT in the direction most would assume. Taking my WIFE out of the equation (as she's the only woman I really NEED)... I definitely notice myself not only checking out MEN MORE and MORE, but I also almost exclusively watch GAY and Transsexual porn these days, with a little bit of MMF Bisexual, and Lesbian porn.
    I'd say my attraction split these days is more like 65/35 or 70/30 in favor of MEN, and I TRULY believe that's due to the fact that I LOVE my wife with all my heart and I DON'T NEED any other women to keep me happy and content on that side of the spectrum. There's also the FACT that I knew I was "into" guys (by the time I was 12 years old) before I realized women also do it for me. Another tidbit is that 5 of the 6 guys I've been with were/are GAY... and they DEFINITELY taught me that GAY is OK
