Here's the thread: http://www.collarchat.com/m_4254146/tm.htm During my seven years in South Florida, I never had a hard time hooking up with bi women and also had two relationships. The vast majority I didn't meet online, but at the beach, through friends, and at swinger and kink events. While I've been enjoying sex with women since I was a teenager, I don't seek it. I never look at profiles. With women, I seem to only develop that spark in person. Maybe lots of other bi women are the same and that is why we are so hard to find online? The Big Lies People Tell In Online Dating "I'm bisexual." REALITY: 80% of self-identified bisexuals are only interested in one gender. OkCupid is a gay- and bi-friendly place and it's not our intention here to call into question anyone's sexual identity. But when we looked into messaging trends by sexuality, we were very surprised at what we found. People who describe themselves as bisexual overwhelmingly message either one sex or the other, not both as you might expect. Site-wide, here's how it breaks out: [image]http://cdn.okcimg.com/blog/lies/WhoBisexualsMessagePie2.png[/image] This suggests that bisexuality is often either a hedge for gay people or a label adopted by straights to appear more sexually adventurous to their (straight) matches. You can actually see these trends in action in the chart below. Again, this is just the data we've collected. We'd be very interested in our bisexual users' thoughts on this single-sex-messaging phenomenon, so if you'd like to weigh-in please use the comments section. Please note, everybody, that we don’t assume that bis should be “into both genders equally.” We only assume that they should be into both genders at all. The swaths of red and blue that you see in these sexuality charts represent people who message only one gender. The purple areas are people who send any messages, in whatever proportion, to both men and women.
