Note: I suppose that there is a possibility that females are simply more open in regards to exploring their sexuality than males are.
Yeah I've read studies like that. I'm not a woman so I don't know quite how female attraction works, but it's always seemed a bit alien in some ways...I mean in nature females often seem disinterested in males or sex in general (well and in humans) but of course that's not always true. In some instances the female will often take the initiative. Anyway yeah, the human brain is complex, and I think psychology is a complex interaction of biology and environment. Do not underestimate the pervasive influence of one's environment. All I'm saying is in terms of statistics until recently it seems male bisexuality was quite a bit more prevalent. Studies among animals generally agree with this too. Not that female bisexuality is that rare or absent, but seems considerably less documented. Whatever women may be thinking or feeling that's what seems to be the case in practice.
And, based on what I said in the above examples, what if that personal happiness is at the expense of another? Still okay? People need to be honest with themselves first, before they engage another, waste their time and/or deceive them. No honor or compassion in that.
And will be the first ones claiming "I had no idea"....after the fact. Men fighting so hard to exude femininity are fighting their own inner demons and it's a real struggle I'm sure.

Furthermore, the women who are grossly bothered by men like that aren't comfortable in their own skin either. Confident men don't get hung up on masculine/feminine labels nor hung up on what people find attractive. They have their own style and do their own thing and are happy with that. They understand that some people will like them and some will dislike them no matter what they do or how they look/act...and they aren't fazed by that. Plenty of women will find those types of guys attractive, even if their looks, dress or interests aren't traditionally "masculine".

Either way, I think we're mostly straight but with the potential to be situationally homosexual (e.g. if the OS isn't available and we just need to relieve that drive).

Well, men can be hairless and whatnot and still be macho. After all, these two things are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
Since I'm not a woman I really cannot understand why one would want an effeminate man. If that is truely the case what would be the difference than having a mascueline woman except the plumbing?
For instance if there's a thread about men removing body hair, wearing makeup, caring about fashion, about their body in general, many women seem disdainful and judgemental about it.
I mean ask yourself, who made these things 'feminine' to begin with? Human society did, there's nothing innately feminine about that. In some cultures it is actually men who wear makeup, and in the animal world it's usually males who are the more eye-catching, colourful, 'pretty' gender (think peacocks.etc).
I think there are too many men who buy into the idea that fashion and appearances and looking beautiful is a female domain. This restricted 1950s view of the world will change one day, everything changes. I guess I feel women here at least seem very conservative in terms of their idea of male beauty. Basically men should be 'men' with the very narrow man-made definition.

The fact that a woman is or is not attracted to a feminine man has nothing to do with "fashion and appearances and looking beautiful" being a female domain. It's not for you to tell a woman what is attractive to her, just as it's not for a woman to tell men what is attractive to us. If a woman wanted to tell me I can't be attracted to big breasts, I'll just laugh and tell her to get lost. Similarly, if a woman wants to be attracted to a hairy guy, that's her business.
