This suggests that bisexuality is often either a hedge for gay people or a label adopted by straights to appear more sexually adventurous to their (straight) matches.
Or they really are bi but find it easier to date one sex (like daenerys, although I don’t know what her OkCupid orientation and messaging behavior are).
although I don’t know what her OkCupid orientation and messaging behavior are
When I was only messaging guys on okc, I set my orientation to straight, even though I considered myself heteroflex, because I didn’t want to falsely advertise to women. However in the match questions I answered the relevant questions as bi.
When I realized it was stupid for me to not message women on okc (I had been messaging guys as a default behaviour, even though okc allowed me to search only for bi/gay females, thus eliminating my primary reason for not dating girls in the first place), I changed my orientation to bi.
Or you can simply be bi and really picky about one gender. I used to be bi on okcupid but switched to straight when the only people looking at my profile were bears I wasn’t at all attracted to.
According to OkTrends, 80% of people who claim to be bi on OkCupid only send messages to one sex.

I hadn’t thought of that. Thanks.
Conversely, it might mean that 80% of bi people on OKC with a preference for one gender or another send messages only to their preferred gender.

Fascinating, thank you. I also realize that I should have Googled that before asking.
