Yeah I mean I'm sure I run into random straight people all the time, and I do know some socially (I'm even dating one!), but my social circle is just really heavily majority bisexual so it's always vaguely surprising when I meet a new one socially.

Wellll... it's definitely more common for women, but I live with two bisexual men so it's certainly not *rare*. I think with men it's more like "socialisation prevents them from being bisexual" than it is "definitely not bi". e.g. https://twitter.com/GeniesLoki/status/1286997579402805250 … is a whole big thing.

Also we're bad at conceptualising men as attractive. A thing that seems to happen with bi women is that once they start finding women attractive they realise that there are a lot of *really* attractive women.

I think it's more than that though. I think a lot of the things we conceptualise as attractiveness, at a society level, are feminine coded, and the few masculine-coded ones (e.g. muscles) are hard work to attain and maintain.

Oh yeah peak female attractiveness is super hard work. But there's a much broader range where you can still be considered attractive as a woman.

Oh, yeah, this is true. Sorry I meant that in the sense of "As conceptualised in our broader cultural scripts". Thing is, a lot of bi people don't end up learning the homosexual attraction scripts, for various reasons.
