It seems that many women, even while acknowledging their own sexual fluidity, don’t want to date men who are sexually fluid.

From the article:

Sadly, the woman I briefly dated is not alone in her beliefs. In a survey of over 1,000 women, conducted by Glamour in 2016, 63% of women said they wouldn’t date a man who’s had sex with another man. (This isn’t just men who identify as bi. This includes all men who’ve experimented with another man, even if it only happened once!) Still, 47% of women said they’ve been attracted to another woman, and 31% of women have had a sexual experience with another woman.

    First, the results indicated that straight women perceive bi men as being less romantically and sexually attractive than straight men. Second, straight women also reported that they were less likely to date and have sex with a bi guy. Lastly, bi men were perceived as being significantly more feminine than straight men.

    I wonder how interconnected these two are related. I wish the study showed if less feminine perceived men were overall seeing the same trend. Also since this is looking at averages how often this trend is reversed and if there are some women who perceive this more feminine trait as more attractive or the same with bi guys.
