I think that there's probably as many reasons as there are people who do it, but, like others said, a lot of it is probably fear that if they aren't bi, it closes a lot of doors for them, which is pretty true. I can't even begin to count up how many people I've seen that said "bi only" or "bi is a plus". Now, I'm bi, but not in the interesting sense. If I fall in love with a guy, and the relationship goes that way, than I'm comfortable with that. On the other hand, if I go to somebody's house to mow the lawn or clean up, and suddenly some old man is ordering his wife to order me to suck him off, I'll be less inclined to call myself bi. Anyways, I used to list myself as bi, but I think that adds a dimension that I really don't want right now, so I just list myself as straight. To actually answer the question, though, I think part of it is being scared of rejection and not knowing the consequences of telling people that you're bi.
