I am aware of only one poll done in 2023 on 3428 members where 24.8% of responders are bisexual ( and 2.9% are pansexual). However this forum contains several hundreds of thousands members. While doing poll on all members is in practice impossible its nice to speculate.

In my opinion
50-60% guys here are bi/pan
20-30% guys here are gay
5-10% guys here are straight
0.5-1% guys here are asexual

Interesting, but I don't think that to be true. Just look how dead the bi form is compared to others.

If I had to guess, I'd say about 65% are gay, 30% straight, and the last 5% are bi. But yeah, no idea.
Absolutely. There are way more gays on here for sure. There are users who have 90-75% gay on their profiles but whne asked they don't really identify as bi/pan. They're just gay.

Not to mention the rampant biphobia on here could only persist because it's mainly gays outnumbering us. Many of whom are just plain ignorant or hateful towards bisexual guys.

Yeah, there are a lot of gay men who can't stand bisexuals, it's just ignorant people who are the problem and not the solution. If you want to people to accept you, you gotta do your part and accept them right back.

Yes. Just the typical nonsense thag you also hear from straight people sadly. "You're not actually bi". "he's just lying". "why won't be just admit he's only into guys (girls)" blah blah blah.

Just ignorant small minded people that can't see past their own nose.

Those quotes are mostly adressed to masculine looking bi guys tho.
It's a combination of internal insecurities, reversed wish-thinking and lack of imagination.
Many people( including gay men) believe that the gayer someone is the more effeminate he is.
So when they see masculine guy who is straight passing they automatically assume he is straight. Add also that most guys only/mostly date women....

Overall
Feminine bisexual guy= gay guy who will come out eventually
Masculine bisexual guy= straight guy who likes dick/ is lying/ "everyone experiment"

I’ve never heard of this before. Are there any gay guys that can confirm this?

I think myself personally, I’m very straight and masculine……But, with a willing partner (man), I would love to be a submissive sissy bitch that wears feminine type clothing to have a little fun. What does this make me, and do people hate me for this?

Some gay guys dislike bi guys because they believe our struggle is not the same, and that part of being in the LGQBT is the shared sense of homophobia that is felt among the group. One such argument is that we as bi, can just hide our gay side and blend in. And that therefore, our claim to LGQBT "perks" is not earned and that we are just imposters. That of course is just plain nonsense and bi erasure to the core, but that is the thought process.

For some bi people, yes we can do that. But a lot of people forgot that not all bi men are "straight men" that also like dick. We too, in the bi community, can be very effeminate. Femboys are not unique to just gay men. Many bi people would love to paint their nails black or dress more androgynous. Hiding that part of yourself is not blending in, it's masking, which is the same thing gay people that are closeted have to do.

And even though of us are who "straight" presenting, it sucks having to hide who we are. I am mostly closeted, and the amount of people who throw straight stuff at me for being a "straight man" just don't get me, but I mask as a straight man and just go with the flow.

Lastly, and this I can understand more, though I disagree with it -- some gay men do not like bi men because they are fearful of losing us to a woman. A woman can offer us something a man never can (and vice versa), and for some gay men, that makes them uncomfortable.

Straight women can also be very biphobic too, mainly because sexist nonsense about preferring to be with a "real man". Rubbish and nonsense of course and these types of sexist people are to be avoided, but nonetheless, this is something we sometimes have to deal with.

For many bi people, part of the bi experience is not being straight enough for straight people, and not being gay enough for gay people.

this, it took sometimes to convince my boyfriend and his family, now husband of 9 year, to accept my proposal. their biggest fear is me cheating/run off with woman and to hv my own baby.
