    Not that I really care about labelling myself, I'm just curious about what some things I feel mean. I am unscertain if it is possible to be more straight than gay as a bisexual, or if it is an absolute. I am primarilly attracted to women, and have been in love many times. But at times, I find my self thinking things that kind of make me wonder. I have many gay friends, mostly male, many female friends, and many male friends. I find I act at least metrosexual a great deal of the time, and I have a much easier time accepting people's sexuality than my "straight" male friends. I have in the past been sexually attracted to a handful of guys. I have never felt that I have been in love with a guy. And sometimes I find that when observing a male that I can Identify as attractive, I become, well, aroused. I don't consider it to be a big part of my life, But I'm just wondering if this makes me Bisexual, (as I am not attracted to most guys, just certain guys) or straight with a wandering eye, or what. Just looking for a little input. Feel free to ask questions. Please no bashing.

    been hearing alot about tjhis theory
    basicly if i remember it right theres no absolutes no 100% gay or straight but everyone falls somewhere along a scale wether towards 1 extreme or another oor dead center determines your attractions towards 1 sex or the other
    along with that comes the theory of flexibility ..your willingness to stray along that scale it all dependsw on how you want to clasify yourself if you choose to be bi and explore both sides or choose to be straight but flexible (or straight but not narrow)
    but you alone can decide how you wish to be classified

    wow soaringeagle...thats exactly how i feel. i just came to a realization that i might have an attraction to one of my closest friends who is openly bisexual. i just felt that, similar to what you said, everyone falls somewhere in between completely gay or completely strait. whether you choose to act on it is up to you.;

    the only thing i was wondering is if i should COME OUT as bisexual, or bi curious or what because I'm not sure where i land and if their is any possibility of a relationship with me and my friend or me and any other woman. or if i should even bother at all, and just wait until I'm sure.

    I would'nt worry about any label yet.
    Be yourself,don't rush it.
    It will become clearer in time.
    Let it be natural,be you.
    That's the only label you really need.[​IMG]

    damien, i feel the exact same way, except the opposite. haha
    and i have no idea how to label myself, either. i came out as "bi" in that coming out thread, but i'm not sure if i should have gone that far yet, seeming as how i've never actually done anything with a girl. it's complicated, really. and confusing. i guess just know that there is someone else in the same boat as you.:)
