    You don't need to be 50/50. Having a "preference" is fine and it's normal to have it going up and down at times.
    I, myself, currently find myself most attracted to men romantically and prefer women sexually. :slight_smile:

    You don't need to be 50/50, you don't even need to be at the same ratio all the time. I find myself having days where I'm more attracted to one gender than another, but then the next day I might be more attracted to a totally different gender.

    Bisexuality comes in many different flavours, some say the binary is the attraction to men and women, some say it's the attraction to the same gender and different genders. Some bisexual people are stay at the same ratio (whether it be 90/10 or 50/50) their whole lives, some move up and down the scale.

    Hope that helps, and good luck!

    It's simple; being bisexual means you can be attracted to either/any gender.
    Regardless of whether that's a 50/50 or 10/90 attraction.

    Not 50/50 at all and it doesn't even have to be a stable ratio. Like in the past I've felt men/women, 90/10, 70/30 and now 30/70 suddenly but with random days where I'm way more interested in men and periods of time where I'm like "what are men?". Not stable at all.

    No, you don't. I like boys 70 and girls 30.

    Yeah, I'm one of those unusual people who actually have no real perceptible preference - gender, presentation, non-gender, anything. I say I'm bi because it's easier, but pan fits better. Of course, right now, I'm choosing to date a woman because, well, the men I was meeting were just - aggravating. My levels of attraction are fairly stable, though.

    If you like both, you are bi.
    That doesn't mean you can't have a preference. And preferences can change.
    You may prefer men, then at some point prefer women.
    Or be 50/50
    regardless, you are still bi no matter what.

    It doesn't need to be 50/50. I've always been caught by the mind of the person and what develops same or opposite sex doesn't matter to me. I've noticed when single my level of attraction fluctuates between male and female

    We're most definitely not all 50/50. I get interested in boys easier than girls but when I like a girl it's more serious. Everyone is different with their sexuality and it's completely normal to like different genders differently.
