I think I’ve come to a sort of temporary conclusion about my sexuality. I’m bi but with a big preference for boys. I can see myself in a relationship with a girl but not long term married and stuff I see that with a boy. I have always felt stuff that I knew was weird around childhood friends (even friends now tbh) and I always picked “the prettiest girls” to be friends with. I also check women out according to my bestie lmao. I’ve had this gut feeling since I was young and while it feels strange to be out like this I feel like a part of me is finally out. I have much stronger attraction levels to men but the thought of being really touchy and close with a woman is appealing to me so I’m coming to the conclusion that I’m bi. Tiktok is so toxic that it tries to tell me if I don’t have a preference in women that I’m not “proper” but I know that’s not true.

      tiktok definitely has a toxic side to it, but sexuality is not a cookie cutter kind of thing. sexuality is a very fluid thing that is different for every kind of person. I'm definitely similar to you, I'm bi, I've always been romantically more attracted to men, I always end up dating men even though I always say I want to date a woman lol, I'm very much sexually attracted to both but never really connected with a woman romantically as strong as i do with men. but that doesn't make me any less bisexual. you are still very much valid!!! please never forget that 💕

      I'm largely unlabeled in my own sexuality besides just being queer, but if I had to sit and dissect it, I'd probably say I'm either pan or bi with a huge preference for men and masculine non-binary people. And as a non-binary person, I'm seen as Woman Lite despite not being a woman. So I get the struggle of invalidation. I think part of the reason I refuse to use the label bi is BECAUSE I worry that people would be like "So you're just straight :/" Bisexuality isn't always a stepping stone to realizing you're gay. Bi people can just be bi. Whatever people realize their identity is is awesome, but I see a big problem with gay men and lesbians assuming that just because many of them identified as bi before identifying as gay, that everyone else is like that. In their case, they experienced compulsory heterosexuality, but it's not like that for everyone. Some people just really like multiple genders, and can have a preference for the opposite agab

        @pinkbunnie Tysm this app has been a godsend to me while figuring out my sexuality. It’s very helpful hearing others perspectives

          @Livingasazebra it took a long time for me to be comfortable in owning my own sexuality and myself in general! it's a journey and you can take it at your own pace and nothing is ever concrete, feel free to message me if you ever want to talk 💕

      You’re absolutely right that TikTok is totally toxic in that way. You’re absolutely allowed to have preferences in men! :) I’m bi but prefer men, too. You don’t need to feel any pressure to be one way or another, you decide what works best for you. 🤗
