Mine is empty as there are some people on my Facebook account that right now I don't want them knowing my sexual orientation if I can help it, for different reasons.
its no answer just like my relationship status no one cares if im single and no one cares if im gay so, its no ones business even though im out but still im quite a private person. when i was in a relationship though i had that public with my then gf but everyone on my fb knows that my 'in a relationship' thingy is only with women, well they should have figured it out if they havent known anyways XD and i only put the relationship public cuz most people want it public these days... i dont have a problem though cuz im out anyways.
I had mine set to 'women', but I set it to empty about 6 months ago so it no longer appears. I've been tempted on several occasions to switch it to 'men', but there are a couple of people in my friends list (mainly my ex and her family, who I still get on well with), who I'm not ready to tell yet.
I have mine set to women, which is somewhere between true and false. I treat it as asking who you are interested in dating and not necessarily who you are attracted to in any way, shape, or form. By this standard, it is true. Then again, there is a reason I identify as queer and not lesbian, so it is still misleading. I figure that if anyone really cares that much, they can ask.
When I first got facebook, I wasn't really even thinking about relationships so I just never entered anythings. I was gonna put women but my friends said that I shouldn't be dating at the time so I just agreed and left it blank to mean that I am not looking for anything. I don't plan on changing it. As others have said, I'm not using FB to find a fling.
It's not listed, I had to go check, and it will remain hidden, there are some people that shouldn't know.
Mine is empty, too. I'm not fully out, and even if I told all the people I wanted, or wouldn't have minded, to know about me, there are still some others I'd rather not know on FB.
It's the same for me. I have a lot of people from school/uni to help facilitate group assignments. Since I'm not really that close with them I really don't feel like sharing personal stuff.
mine is empty and so are the vast majority of my friends', regardless of their orientation. i wouldn't find a missing/empty "interested in" field to be suspicious at all. of course, my facebook also says "in a relationship with" and my partner's name, so it's pretty obvious i'm gay
I found out the other day that you can create different lists of people in your friends list and restrict what they see in your profile. So last night, I finally changed my interested in status to 'men'. About half a dozen people are blocked from actually seeing it, but everyone else can. It's a liberating experience
