    Mine has been changed to interested in men for a couple of months now. It used to be interested in men and women. It was a little e anxiety producing to change it. Most of my Facebook friends are from my Christian high school.

    You can check both interested in men and interested in women.

    For a long time I didn't fill out that part of the profile since I was in the closet. Earlier this year I decided to silently "come out" to selected friends on my Facebook list by changing it to "Men and Women". I created a new friend category with said people and only made it visible to them. I then gradually added people to the category until all but family were able to view it. This quiet process finally came to a loud end when I made a post visible only to family members on National Coming Out Day stating that I was bisexual. I then made the "interested in" item visible to my entire friend list.

    This. If someone wants to know they can ask me and I'd rather not use Facebook for dating purposes.

    For years mine had been 'interested in women'. Earlier this year I decided to take that down and leave it blank, which is how it'll remain for the foreseeable.

    I don't even mess with face book anymore. It's all such a pointless waste of time to me. I'd much rather call, text etc, said person if i want to talk to him/her. I don't need to know what they had for dinner, or how big of a shit they took. I left pretty much everything blank.

    It says interested in women. I see no reason for it not to. I doubt anyone would notice if it said interested in blue cheese or three legged furniture.

    There's no option for pansexual, so I leave mine blank.

    I have mine set to interested in Women. I might just change it so it so it doesn't say who im interested in, Facebook isn't a dating site after all.

    I left it blank, but I was quite young when I got Facebook, and I *think* my mum said something along the lines of "you can fill that in when you're older. You don't know, do you?":stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: Even now I have it blank, I think, I never bothered.

    I think there's another thread on the same topic somewhere.

    Personally, I have 'women' on there, and have for a few years. As far as I know, nobody's even noticed.

    Most people will take a blank 'interested in' section as a sign of an 'alternative sexuality', especially if they're already questioning your sexuality.

    A black 'interested in' section only stands out if that person's profile is fully filled up everywhere else, and they clearly maintain a presence on facebook. Otherwise it could just mean they're shy, or they haven't put much down on their profile.

    it says single. its complicated.

    i assume anyone who really knows me...might know.

    but i have so many acquaintances from sports and basketball that i don't want to lose them as those kinds of friends. i mean, they might not invite me to other games to play..or on new teams.

    i know they'd fricken lose it and some would just be scared to be associated and called gay behind their back. not that i'd blame them either.

    Mine's currently blank. Back when I was still in the closet, it said interested in women. Then when I thought I was asexual, I left it blank and it's been blank ever since then. I'll probably change it to interested in men when I come out, but that won't be for a while.
