Women, on the other hand, have been more likely to want to have a short conversation about the problem. Then think about it for a while. Then come back and talk some more. Then repeat this process until some kind of solution is found. Then they will want to come back and check in on the problem from time to time to make sure they we are both still good with the solution we came up with.
The thing about sexual orientation is that it is a rather fluid concept. Even people who consider themselves to be of the same orientation might feel slightly different, which is totally valid.
That’s where the Kinsey scale comes in. It ranges from 0 (which refers to exclusively heterosexual) to 6 (exclusively homosexual), along with an additional X representing asexuality. Basically, people can use it to evaluate how they feel, and it might even help them figure out which label to give themselves—or that no particular label is a right fit for them.

I was confused because when I looked there was still some on there, and I realized that for women it would be plenty left to take care of a pee, but absolutely useless for a number 2 which was the only reason he needed toilet paper. It made me laugh to realize and ever since then I would just change the roll when it got too low.
Of course, putting yourself on the Kinsey scale isn’t the only way to figure out which orientation you are. In fact, even putting yourself on the scale might be difficult for some folks, which, again, is completely normal.
After all, we live in a heteronormative (based on a belief that most people are straight and cis) society, which causes some people to take a long and difficult journey to realize they might not fit into the expected mold.
There are numerous ways to figure out your orientation. Some people do a lot of thinking on their own, while some turn to therapy or online resources. With the latter, there are already iconic tools within the queer community, such as the “Am I gay?” quiz, or the Lesbian Masterdoc, which help folks come to terms with their identity.

It's such a nice surprise after dating men where you're generally responsible for all of your own stuff regardless of how heavy your load may be that day or week or whatever
But then you realize that women can sometimes give too much and how easy it is to keep taking. You see that you even come to expect it and think that you just deserve it somehow
And then you realize how many men have that viewpoint. They think they are entitled to an assistant.

Yet, that doesn’t mean that when a person finally realizes their identity coming out follows, which for some is even harder to do than to admit their orientation to themselves—especially if their environment isn’t very gay-friendly. And still, even if they do come out (hopefully on their own terms) and are accepted by their closest people, that sadly doesn't mean that everyone else will accept them.
The lack of acceptance can come in many forms: from name-calling and bullying to harassment and even violence. Granted, those are rather drastic forms of unacceptable behavior, but sometimes they can also manifest in less obvious ways, which the perpetrators may not even realize they're doing.

As someone that likes to dress both femme and masc depending on my mood, I've noticed women are much more... Appreciative (?) of both. Men tend to be very neutral about it.
Edit : this got some traction so here's another thing. Men are very straightforward and it works really well with my adhd/neurodivergence. I suck at reading in between the lines and have been left bamboozled when women I've dated say "you should know why I'm mad". With men, what they say is usually what they mean/feel, quicker to communicate when something is wrong, and emotions are less of a guessing game.

For me personally, there’s not a lot different when it comes to the emotional aspect. However I’ve had more men cheat than woman.
I usually date women who are the same size as me as with a man, they’re usually a lot larger than I am.
Like everyone has said, body is a lot different in comparison.
On a sexual note, woman seem to be more open to satisfying their partner compared to a man, from my experience.
Overall, I wouldn’t say there’s a lot different, everyone has their own unique quirks about them.
The perfect example of this is the bisexual erasure. In a nutshell, it’s when folks ignore, falsify, or even belittle the bisexual experience. For instance, they do not believe that bi people exist, instead thinking they must be either straight or gay—not in between—and that they are just confused. So, throwing remarks or asking questions like, “Are you sure you’re not gay?” or something similar is a form of bi-erasure.
While, yes, some people identify as bisexual before realizing (or admitting to the public) that they’re actually gay, like Elton John once did, that doesn’t mean that’s the experience of all bi people.

Men can sit in mutual silence all day and be happy and not assume anything is wrong with each other.
In my experience with women, there is an expectation/desire to give constant updates on mood or emotional state and silence is and indicator of unhappiness.

There are people who actually enjoy dating any gender and their experiences are just as valid as anyone else’s. So, today let’s give them a spotlight. More specifically, we’re going to look at which differences bisexuals list for the different genders they date.
This list just shows how even a single sexual orientation can be experienced differently by different people. But our differences are what make this world interesting, isn’t it? So, enjoy them by leaving upvotes on the ideas you agree with in this article!
