So I'm bi and single so I guess it shouldn't really matter to me what gender someone I would date would have. But here's the deal: at the moment, I would much rather date a woman than a man. Maybe it's because I dated a woman for a bit and really, really liked her (not over her yet) so maybe because I still like her a lot, I'm generalising? The thought of dating a woman is just more appealing to me right now than the thought of dating a man. I still get attracted to men, I just don't want to be with a man right now. I don't know, it just seems weird. Any other bisexuals or pansexuals out there who experience periods of preference for one gender?
My brother came out as bisexual just a few months ago to me and he was talking about how he liked men and women, but had a preference for women. There's a spectrum, I assume you know, and sexuality changes in subtle ways for a lot of people. But you are absolutely not alone, I know a ton of people who like both genders (or don't care at all) who'd just rather be dating a specific gender. good luck!
I totally go through periods, all be it I more often have periods where I would rather be with a man. But I think it's a regular thing to have changes in your preference, since love is a spectrum rather than stages! Seems weird, but to me at least it isn't!
That's totally normal! I exclusively liked guys for about 3 years and then for the past 2 years I've solely been attracted to girls. There can also be different types of attraction - for example, I'm mostly sexually attracted to girls but most of my romantic feelings have been towards guys. There are different degrees of bisexuality, and even if that can be a bit confusing and weird, it's completely fine. Just do whatever (or whoever hehe) feels right for you.
