I think it’s an understood fact that it’s generally women. Not that more women are lesbians, but more women will blur the lines. I’m straight but yeah I’ll happily makeout with my friend, she’s very pretty. I don’t feel anything actually romantic towards her, though. But idk any man who will just makeout with a guy friend despite considering themself straight.

I wanna say men only because I think even in 2026, there’s still a large amount of closeted ones. If it weren’t for the shame/stigma still surrounding being homosexual, especially as a man-I definitely think more of them would live their truth

Pls correct me if I’m wrong, I am a straight guy after all and have zero experience here, but I just feel like women are more open with experimenting with being gay. Like, it’s just less surprising or not as big a deal when a woman is bi or try’s dating women for a bit than when a guy does it.

men for sure. people think women are because we are openly expressive and have passionate female friendships but are completely platonic (for straight women)

There’s probably an actual answer to this but based off my personal experience, my ex said that she thinks that everyone is “at least a little bi” and my current gf says she’s straight but watches a lot of lesbian porn.

We should work to phase out the term "straight." Straight is inherently judgmental and heteronormative.

i feel like the answer to this question depends if we’re talking about fr straight men or men who claim to be straight

Please lol I mean we have only done it once but I was like I will gladly do it ofc. We were playing spin the bottle though, we made it into a whole makeout (just for fun/for the group) when it could have just been a kiss. I’ve tried to date women multiple times but I’m just not into it.
