I think I'm bi...


I don't know what to do


How can I accept this side of myself?
Please no judging or rude comments, this is kind of hard for me...

Maybe I'm not. I prefer men much more but all I know is that I'm very attracted to some women instantly when I meet them...so I guess I have bisexual tendencies
However, if you were to ask me if I prefer women or men...I would say I definitely prefer men...
It's just that, sometimes there are some women in particular that I prefer above men
Does it make sense?

It totally makes sense! Sexuality is fluid and people can be straight, gay, asexual, and still meet someone who makes them question themselves! It's natural and there's nothing wrong with you.

I dunno how to answer "how do I accept myself" because...I guess it is a kinda confusing question. Just...do it, I guess. Idk I'm sorry! Don't deny it to yourself. If you met a woman you find yourself attracted to, then that's okay, admit that you're attracted to her and then figure out what you want and go from there?

Hope you can work things out!

Thank you! I am actually feeling very liberated and excited about this...
I feel like I have really come into my own femininity and sexuality as a result of this realization. I finally know who I really am and I'm able to feel it so deeply.
I've even stopped wearing makeup now and have realized that I look actually a lot more natural and better without it...I have a very raw femininity that comes out when I'm not all dolled up like I would be usually for a man...it's beautiful, I'm accepting of it...
Now I want to go get a tattoo...
I must have some sort of Uranus transits going on in the chart.

Yes, sexual orientation is very fluid, almost mystical/mysterious.
Sometimes people can be gay for a certain person, which can be due synastry or karma etc, who knows.

I also wanted to mention that if I found an amazing man to get married to I would...
If not, I'd be just as happy living with an amazing woman who I could share a bond with!

Take it easy girl, no one's gonna burn you at the stake. You don't have to announce it to the whole world. Embracing it with your mind will be enough. There's nothing wrong about it. I fantasized a couple of times about women and had dreams with a lesbian action but my bi-curiosity doesn't bother me.

If you meet a woman you're attracted to a lot and she happens to be attracted to you too then go for it Your family will survive.

I'm sooo happy! I mean, cappy.

This is my opinion. Sexuality is plastic. I think anyone can be bi, if they choose to be.

I'm about the opposite. I haven't been attracted to any men in years, however. So maybe those people who said I'd outgrow my bisexuality were right...just not in the way they thought.

Still, it's complicated for a lot of people so don't sweat the labels, many find them more frustrating than they're worth and thus reject them. It's also ok to self-identify as like "80% straight" (and I believe most gays & straights are actually about 95% that way rather than 100%). It doesn't have to be an "either/or" thing. And plenty of firmly gay AND straight people have shared about a little experimentation or even exciting fling in their past that went against their sexuality. I'd say that a single one night stand or even brief fling isn't enough to say they're not gay or straight anymore, weird anomalies happen and for all the theories out there sexuality is still very much a mystery (and hard to explore as so many people lie about it, though technology is getting where scientists can DETECT when people lie, even to themselves, about what arouses them).

Idk if I can be called bi-curious.

I am definitely more attracted to men than women. I even am attracted to masculine looking gay men who speak like women.

I usually am asked online if I'm butch if I make it obvious I'm a girl. Otherwise, most people assume I'm a guy. I think with my identity, I am attracted to people who are a mix of the opposite gender.

Having said that, I find masculine/dominant women very attractive. I discussed this with my bf about how I seem to like women. He didn't make me feel weird about this .

I have met women that made me want to kiss them o__o! I haven't acted on that urge. I guess if that opportunity presents itself and I'm in a position to accept, I'll see what it's like.

When my eldest daughter came out, at around 17, she is now 24, she told me: "the soul is androgynous"

Sexual attraction is a human thing.

One can be attracted to the same sex on a soul level, while maintiaing a human attraction to the opposite sex.

I have never been "attracted" to a woman physically/sexually, but I do recognize a beautiful woman, of spirit, mind and body, and I am not afraid to say so.

I have not been attracted to a man for a coupla years, not in any form or fashion, not in mind, body, spirit or no way, but does not mean I, nor should anybody label myself, either.

Alot of that, tho has to do with me being hung up on a man who has, increasingly made himself unavailable to me.

Good thing I am older, too old to be messing around with "relationships" and too much going on now in my life anyway.

Sometimes, I wish a man would come my way and I be attracted to him, but not.

I, for one, believe that it is a fully conscious choice: an acquired preference.

I have zero attraction to males, never have and never will. Any male that pulls a fast one is going to get ruptured testicles from me.

I think you should just go with it, being attracted to someone is natural even to someone of the same sex. Will admit in the past I have had a couple of girl crushes, for me I am able to find beauty in both sexes, whether its within their personality or certain physical quality. In my point of view love can go beyond gender, race, beliefs, etc...

Don't worry about what anyone else thinks, live your life and be happy with whoever you choose to love
