Much rarer. I’m not prepared to say it’s totally absent, but I would be skeptical upon meeting a male who claims to be bisexual.
I would say it’s more likely that he’s a) in denial, or b) pushed by society to be with women. I’d say that any man in today’s society (anywhere in the world – be it Sweden or Saudi Arabia) that sleeps with men is most likely gay.
So he’s been out as bisexual for twenty years, slept with dozens of women and dozens of men in that time, is currently sleeping with four different women and showing every sign of enjoying it lots, and you think he’s 100% gay? Are you sure your beliefs about this are paying rent?
Some years ago I was at a party at which someone was holding forth on the same theme… all men are monosexual, those who claim otherwise are being influenced by society rather than by genuine attraction, yadda yadda.
I replied “That makes sense! Take my case, for example: I’ve been in a monogamous same-sex relationship for fifteen years, and everybody knows it, but I claim to be bisexual so my boyfriend and I can maintain homosexual privilege… no, I mean heterosexual privilege… no, wait, I’m sorry, how does that work again?”
I agreed with you as far as this. As for the rest it seems unlikely that our genetics implement a complete jump from male desiring to female desiring with no grey area (sweet spot?) in between.
So why is bisexuality so common in women? Why don’t you think female bisexuals are lesbians in denial, or under duress to sleep with women? I just don’t see how women who have sex with both men and women enjoy it but men who have sex with both men and women are clearly just keeping up appearances.

That was fun.
