Oh also I wanna say I really don’t think bi women have the same taste in men as straight women. Like obviously we’re not a monolith and everybody’s got different preferences but I truly believe that the kinds of men bi women are attracted to are generally not the same kinds of men straight women like.

I made a post previously about how bi people are less likely to care about the relative height of their different gender partners because our attraction to multiple genders means we don’t feel as confined to weird hetero standards like how The Man must be taller than The Woman, and I think that lack of gender role conformity governs how we date in a big way. We’re more likely to date men who don’t fit traditional male models: GNC men, men with diverse body types, alternative style men (goths, punks, etc.), men who are quiet and shy, and definitely bi+ men. That’s not to say that straight women don’t also date those kinds of men, but I think bi women are more likely to be open to and in some cases actively seek out men who aren’t the standard picture of masculinity.

As anecdotal evidence, whenever the straight women I work with talk about which male customers they find attractive, I have to invent something that I like about them so I’m not being a total wet blanket. Usually it’s something about their clothes because I’m a GNC woman lol
