When it comes to nontraditional sexuality, that identity and activity largely becomes the center of their existence.
I doubt you are bi. You're a hetero with some gay experiences, clearly chosen and not born into.
How can I determine this over the internet? Your writing demonstrates you are too normal and thoughtful to be part of a supremely aberrant class fixated on their identity and sexual activity.
The study precisely viewed these as self-identified categories. You are probably right the survey failed to distinguish between people who feel bi and those who marked bi after mere experimentation. Thus, bi would be grossly over counted. This is distinguished from all other categories.
"Your writing demonstrates you are too normal and thoughtful to be part of a supremely aberrant class fixated on their identity and sexual activity". This is precisely my point (that I made in the other thread about theory of mind)
You think these people see sexuality as you do, and thus think they are irrational for disagreeing. When confronted with someone who is clearly normal and rational with a carefully considered argument, opposed to concede that I may have a point, you say IM LYING TO MYSELF (sorry for yelling, cant italicise).
Like bro, there's a dude in bed sleeping as we speak lmao. Im bi. Period.
I can't comment on the methodology since I haven't seen the questions, but my argument is it is valid and not overcounting. The spike is expected and not alarming at all.
I never accused YOU of lying to yourself. Quite the opposite, you seem very self aware.
My comment was cautioning you to not discount that a large number of the non-hetero respondents, especially Bi, are lying to themselves. It's also possible self reported heterosexuals are actually gay.
I'm confused by one thing in the table maybe you can explain. It shows the percentage of men and women identifying as gay and lesbian. Doesnt gay exclusively apply to men and lesbian exclusively to women? How can a man be a lesbian? What am I missing here?

Idk, I'd have to look at the actual data (i don't really care that much, sorry gotta work lol).
Wow, I've never seen anyone pull off a reverse "No True Scotsman" maneuver before. That's like the triple Axel of argumentative fallacy.
