When the sample size is so tiny, then sure that's a good idea.

How many billion women out there, and I cant find a single one to put down the cell phone long enough to pay attention to me so I can show you not all men out there are jerks.

All men are jerks at some point.

True, but this is the first time I've seen anyone use this logic to refute a claim even though many findings with similar numbers have been used on this forum.

I should also mention that, from an ethical standpoint, I couldn't care less about the percentage of truly bisexual women. My curiousity piqued only after OP clarified his agenda on this thread.

I'm not necessarily in agreement, but I'm interested in reading people's opinion on it.

Unfortunately, for that to happen, the survey has to be deemed "Legit."

Anyway, the fact is, a survey done on 484 women is more substantial than one or two CD poster's opinions on the percentage of women who are indeed bisexual, so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

Some of you say that that's what girls do: get drunk and make out.

If they need to get drunk to make out, then wouldn't you think that the alcohol brung out the suppressed desires?

If I got drunk I would NEVER kiss a dude.

Lots of yall make excuses for lesbian behavior.

A straight person would NEVER make out with a member of the same sex even while drunk.

I know women outnumber men in the US and most other first world nations because they tend to live slightly longer on average. Not sure about the world as a whole though.

You do realise everyone is different right? Just because YOU wouldn't do this or that, doesn't mean another person wouldn't.

I think it's perfectly plausible for a straight person to make out with someone of the same sex. Just a combination of social pressure/being egged on, feeling a bit 'wild' due to alcohol (haven't you ever felt the urge to do something outrageous while drunk?). I'm not saying approve of such behaviour, or really enough to condemn it, but that's just how I see it.

It sounds legit, I agree. But skewed. They polled lesbians.... who sure as heck are going to answer they are attracted to/fantasized/kissed women.

Yes they polled others, but they don't give the breakdown of people who identify with what sexuality.

It's like polls that say 75% of women have been sexually harrassed. But one of the questions is "have you ever been whistled at or cat called in a public place?".

Yes but unless everyone is like ME, there is no further discussion.

Everyone can do things their way but unless you're doing things the Black Jack22 way, then you don't really get it
