    There are more bisexual women than both gay and bisexual men. There are more gay men than lesbians.

    Easy. It’s more socially acceptable for women to be attracted to one another than men.
    I mean most men have no issue watching two women get on with one another but obviously it’s not the same the other way around.

    Not true, boy love and shipping two male characters is quite popular among female fans of stuff. Just visit deviantart or some fan fiction site

    But there aren't, it is actually the opposite, there are more gays than lesbians.

    In this survey, 10% of men were gays while only 2% of women were lesbians:



    The survey was done in Britain in 2015.

    False again. In the survey 2% of women and 2% of men said they're bisexual.

    Adding up homosexual + bisexual, it was 12% for men versus 4% for women.

    Edit:

    If we add "prefer not to say" & "other" it is 15-16% of men vs. 7-8% of women.

    There are actually more gays than lesbians.

    But there are more bisexual women than any other sexual orientations, apparently. But at times I think people exaggerate when they call themselves bisexual. It was a trend in the 2000s for women to call themselves that, especially celebrities. Now it really isn't, and many celebs who labelled themselves bisexual back then have had exclusive relationships with men today (Angelina Jolie, Lada Gaga, Christina Aguilera). It's annoying and disingenuous when they say they're bisexual for attention. I'm sure most are just heterosexual who want to be 'different'.
