    I had read somewhere once that all women were bisexual? :dry: weird eh? what do you guys think? I think it might be because there's this notion that women are very "close" to their girlfriends???

    I am friends with two women. They both have expressed some sexual interest on other women, albeit very slightly, at least once.

    But in general, I don't think so. I doubt that my mother is bisexual.........

    LOL! Isn't that the truth! I doubt my mother is bisexual as well!

    But seriously, I don't think that is the case. My wife never expressed an interest, and freaked out when I suggested a couple of years ago that I might be interested in men. If she had any bisexual tendencies, I think she would have been more understanding at the time.

    I think women are as "naturally" bisexual as men are... women are just not as punished as men are for expressing same-sex desire. And as Phantomblade points out, women are socialised to be very openly affectionate, quite unlike men.

    I think a lot of men have feelings for both men and women--but masculinity (in this case) is a lot more hegemonic and rigid than femininity, so you get way more men who wouldn't be caught dead admitting they had a thing for another guy.

    Most girls seem to be somewhat bisexual. I know plenty of straight girls who say they'd have a lesbian relationship if the right woman came along. For them the person is more important than the gender.

    Generalizations are dangerous. Try to avoid them.

    I wouldn't say so. I think it's more like women are more comfortable with being closer to each other than men are. If a girl was to go to the mall with her arms linked with another woman, no one would look twice. But if 2 guys went to the mall with their arms linked, they'd get laughed at. I think women are just naturally more affectionate with each other than men are.

    Go with this. Girls/women are more affectionate, but sexuality is about romantic or sexual attraction, not just being very close friends. For most, however close their friendships, that's all it would be.

    It is true, though, on statistics which I know roughly but can't cite, that a greater proportion of women than men can properly be defined as bisexual, but that a greater proportion of men than women can properly be defined as gay.

    This. Its so stupid how this is actually true it seems...

    So many of my 'straight' girl friends have said this. I know some guys that have said it to, but its less common with them... Overall I don't think that all women are bisexual, but I do think that alot of them could be with this point. People are so obsessed with labelling things like sexuality, when really I think anyone could fall in love with anyone and it wouldn't matter if people would stop caring.

    there might be the impression that women are more 'open' to other women, but i certainly wouldn't agree to that right off the bat.

    i think it might be more likely that rather than women being more naturally bisexual, men are more naturally sensitive with regards to their ego and machismo, and liable to completely repress any non-heterosexual tendencies (and perhaps later oppress others for the same, in some people).

    Alfred Kinsey concluded, after extensive studies, that the majority of humans are bisexual. I would not agree that women are more likely than men to be bisexual - I'd agree that women are just less intimidated from discussing these feelings.

    THIS THIS THIS!!!

    I totally agree about the labelling thing, it's stupid and unnecessary. It's so much better to just follow the heart and go out with them because you genuinely love them, regardless of gender.

    I completely support your right to pursue any kind of relationship that makes you happy. If you don't want to use labels you certainly don't have to. But I would like to point out that your answer is essentially a bisexual response, in that you care more about the specific person then the actual gender. A lot of women feel that way, including several who commented on this thread.
