It depends on the day. Usually 6, but sometimes I can go as low as a 4.

Women are beautiful, and I can look at them, and appreciate everything that they bring to the table, but sexually I'd rather be with a dude. They just appeal to me more.

6, although as an open-minded person, I'd have to admit that one never fully knows. There might come some wonderful girl that just comes along, blows me away, and makes me question myself. Like Tim Curry.
I'd be hesitant to say 5 or 5.5, though, on a strictly sexual basis. I know women can be beautiful and sexy and can recognize/acknowledge it. But the evidence points to the fact that in reality, me+vagina=playing pool with a rope.

I would probably say I'm 4 or 2. I don't really know which to vote for with all my gender confusion. 4 as a male, 2 as a female.

Of course, while I do see girls as attractive, I usually get mostly an overwhelming sense of jealousy, so its kind of hard to sense if there is more there hiding underneath that. I wouldn't turn down the opportunity to experiment with a girl if I were single, but I don't think it would work out long term.

6!

Although in actually it's probably like... 5.8. But it's much easier to just say 6.

I'm a 6 1/3, so to be fair with the poll I put 5, there should be a woman out there who could turn me for a spell for maybe one night of magic. I'm surprised there isn't more 3's, but its early

5-ish, but I'm beginning to suspect I may be asexual.

I'm like a 4.99999999999999 or 5.
I want to say just 5 or but that would be a lie.
Of course I prefer girls over guys ANY day but guys can be hot. I just don't want to be with them...at all.
I literally go from a 6 to a 1 when I'm depressed

okay, looking back at my past and the present, i'm not entirely a 6 but i'm more closer to 6 than a 5 so i voted for 6.

you know, it's like when i took the subway about 4 hours ago. there were so many hotties. there was one right across the platform, one that was waiting for the train, one that got on the train, i can go on and on. basically, i was checking guys out. i was looking at the women too, checking them out, there were quite a few attractive ones but they didn't catch my eye or make my brain work like how the guys did. then while i was on the train. there was this woman sitting directly across me and this guy that was sitting from the other side of her. i was really trying my hardest to look over towards him than to her playing around with her cell phone. so yeah... you get the point. i'm pretty much gay. i LOVE new york.

Straight up 6. I've never even had the slightest inkling of an inkling of being attracted to a woman. Hell, it's hard for me to even get attached female friends.

I'm a 6 when it comes to sexuality, but considering romantic feelings maybe somewhere between a 5 and 6. I think I've felt slight romantic feelings for a few girls, although I think a lot of those feelings were just of admiration for their friendship or liking the fact that they liked me rather than true romanticism. I can appreciate the beauty of some women and why it would be considered sexy to straight guys, but I've never been sexually aroused by a woman.
