    I've considered myself bisexual, or pansexual, or something of the sort for a long time. But lately I've noticed that all of my male partners or crushes have been extremely effeminate. I can see the appeal in a more masculine guy, but I can only see myself in a relationship with a more feminine man (or a woman, of course).

    Do you think I just have a "type"? Or is my subconscious trying to tell me something?

    Maybe you just like more effeminate guys, hah, as a type.

    I mean, my last....partner was more masculine, but I like both types of guys.

    Unless it's more than just body type, it's most likely just your preference in guys.

    It's body type and personality. Part of me thinks it might mean that I'm more attracted to women, but I'm probably just overthinking things.

    Eh, yeah, you probably are just over thinking it.

    Good luck either way! :slight_smile:

    Sounds like you're attracted to femininity in a sexual/romantic sense. That's completely normal, I mean there are people who are only attracted to masculine men or feminine women, so in your case you're attracted to both sexes but only the feminine people out of both sexes.

    Feminine men are still men. Do you find them attractive as men? There's nothing wrong with having preference, it doesn't make you gay.

    I'm dating a girl right now who is perfect for me, so I think I'm just trying to explain to myself why that I would never want to be with anyone else, if that makes sense. I think you're right, and I'm attracted to men as well, but could I possibly be bisexual and homoromantic? Again, I'm probably overthinking things. But would that make sense, since I only feel comfortable dating men who remind me of women?

    This attraction has actually been harmful for me in the past, as almost every guy I have dated has realized that they were actually gay during or after our relationship. Even most of the men I've had crushes on have turned out to be gay (and extremely flamboyant. Generally the opposite of most straight guys). It would be nice to know if there was some explanation for this. Thanks for all your help so far :slight_smile:

    Yes i think it does make you bisexual or homoromantic. Also, i dont think it has anything to do with masculine men or effeminate.. you might just be attracted or inclined towards sensitive/soft/caring kinda guys which i believe mostly is seen in effeminate men or lets just say effeminate men are mostly bit sensitive than other men.

    I think you are over thinking things. If you are sexually attracted to members of both sexes, then you are bisexual.
