    I tend to prefer men usually, maybe 80/20.

    I personally am not really bi as I ID as pansexual (I don't care what gear you've got :wink: ) but if I am counting what I am usually attracted to , I'd say 80/20 I prefer women to men.

    I joke I'm only straight because I'm with my boyfriend :grin:

    As it stands right now, I'd say probably Kinsey 2 or 3. Seeing cute guys is a little bothersome. But if you're going solely on partners I've had in the past, then attraction for girls is greatest.

    Prefer guys sexually and romantically, but also think girls are much nicer aesthetically, even though at the moment I only experience circumstantial attraction to them. there's so much difference between how people experience bisexuality, would be interesting to make some polls on it and see whether most bi people prefer their own/the opposite gender or see if it evens out

    Short answer - strong preference for women, but involved with a man.

    I find "bisexual" a dysfunctional term but will use it an umbrella term that includes people who have some interest or activity with more than one sex. I prefer "pansexual" or "queer". Gender doesn't matter very much to me for things other than physical attraction.

    I'm physically attracted to women, probably 95/5 split there. Intellectually, I usually get along better with men. I was happy as a lesbian, but when I realized I wanted a partner into BDSM and couldn't find a compatible woman, I dated some men. I'm with one now (and consider it permanent) but not really attracted to him physically. Our compatibility in other ways matters more. (Plus, I still keep active my license to practice lesbianism.)

    When I see an attractive woman, I think of what I'd do with her physically. When I see a man who would be considered sexy by other people, I'm more likely to think of him having sex with other men. Men I personally know who give off the right sexual "energy" have some appeal.

    Adding up the physical, emotional, social, and intellectual aspects, I'm probably about 4.5 or a bit higher on the Kinsey scale.

    In general, if I'm just people-watching, I find women more attractive. We are prettier. However, there are certain men who transcend this tendency in me. I feel I could easily fall in love with either.

    I used to be really adamant about preferring women but now I throw my arms up in the air and yell "Free-for-all!"

    Most bi dudes ive met claim 50/50. It's gotta be pretty evenly distributed for most folks, otherwise why bother with the less attractive gender? I consider myself gay but occasionally have feelings for females. Maybe 10 percent. Thats not enough for me to actively seek it out. Everyone may be bisexual to some degree.

    Welp, my sexuality is rather perplexing (to me, at least...) but if I had to I'd put myself at about a high 4 on the Kinsey scale? I have a distinct sexual attraction to men, yet no desire to sleep with them... and a distinct desire to sleep with women and have romantic relationships with them.

    I don't want to come off as rude but I'm just going to say what I need to say:
    1. Bisexuality can't be put into terms of a simple percentage. Unless you truly feel 50/50. I'm not going to say it doesn't exist because I do not know what other people feel.
    2. It's really just a spectrum. There's A LOT OF GREY AREAS. Most people don't usually feel that they like the genders equally.
    3. If I had to put it in a percentage for me it would be 60% male. 40% female.
    4. I got a 2 on the scale. As you said sexuality can't be measured like that. So in my mind it's not 100% true.

    I'm way more into girls. I'm very picky with guys. I'd say like 85% girls and 15% guys.

    Like your friend, I am a Kinsey 2 bisexual. Pretty self-explanatory so I'm not going to elaborate :grin:

    I'm bisexual and I find both genders equally attractive if they're my age but I've found that I don't like older men but I also like slightly older women. I guess my attraction to both sexes grows with me which isn't a bad thing, I just found it quite odd!
    Being bisexual is awesome though because you don't HAVE to come out if you don't want to and you get the best of both worlds!(!)
    I just checked and I got a 3 on the Kinsey Scale so I am 50/50 - but I know that's only if they're my age or close enough!

    Pretty big preference for guys. Often more or less exclusively. But I am attracted to women sometimes as well. Just not as often or as strongly as with guys.

    I am panromantic, but prefer women a lot more. That's why I am not fully sure if I am panromantic or not.
