Perhaps I should have used the word(s) "and/or" instead of "and". That way, the analogy here might be more accurate, considering that I would then be talking about males wearing only one of these things versus a woman wearing pants.

As a side note, though, I do know that some women dress and look like men, though (for instance, at least some butch lesbians look (a lot) like men).

You could be right in regards to this.

I read that in humans, bisexuality might be more frequent in females. That said, I am wondering how many human males, in contrast to human females, explored and experimented with their sexuality.

He was a man, but he was incredibly feminine, to the extent that his mom called him "my little girl". Hence my point here.

True, but I'm trying to put myself in a woman who just met a effeminate man and is confronted by some ruffians. I wonder how safe would she feel?

As for where i live, i live in bible belt, usa
Your location explains a lot. Most of the caring, thoughtful, sensitive guys I know are married and doing well in their profession. But they're not in the Bible Belt. Women like them because they're secure in their masculinity. They're comfortable expressing a wider range of their emotions than the homophobic guys who feel they have something to prove, and put on a macho show.

i dont know what you mean by putting yourself in a woman but i dont know did you maybe think of calling 911? theres tons of different i hope im not dating a gay person scenarios. What if i was driving down the road and a plane crashed in front of me and a gay man was in the back seat? What if i was parachuting and the guy next to me was gay and my chute didnt open? What if i was selling my donkey and the gay guy next to me said i had a nice ass?

Sometimes you just have to let life happen.

^

I agree with this, and I also want to point out that an effeminate man might possibly make better decisions in a dangerous situation. For instance, if some thief demanded that a woman and her effeminate boyfriend/husband give him their wallet(s), then this effeminate man might agree to do this and thus possibly lead to both him and his girlfriend/wife escaping this situation unharmed. In contrast, a macho man might pick a fight with this thief and thus possibly cause himself and/or his girlfriend/wife to get hurt and/or killed afterwards in the resulting fight.

Even though i have 8 years of army infantry under my belt, i still dont go out into bad parts of town. I do my best to avoid them. Just because im a guy doesnt mean anything. Id much rather avoid a confrontation than to have to try to win one.

Yeah, this is definitely some good common sense on your part. If only more biological males had such good common sense.

Where did you read that? Maybe in this day and age, but I think pretty much all past studies including the Kinsey study showed bisexuality was more common in males. Depictions of male homosexuality and instances of men who slept with both women and men seem a lot more common (I don't think the whole 'man's point of view' reason fully applies), which would make sense since men have a higher sex drive in general. The stigma against homosexuality is the main thing stopping men from even contemplating being sexual with men, but in a more liberal environment these lusts would flow a lot freer (even if they still prefer women). Hence a lot of the condemnation of homosexuality in say the Bible or the Quran. Pure homosexuality actually seems rare than bisexuality throughout history.
