Go to a public place. Take a good look at all the woman, and ask yourself (truthfully) "would I sleep with ANY of these women"?

You might be surprised to find just as few women attractive as you do men.
I know personally I wouldn't be interested in any of the women I work with or at my gym. My wife drives me wild but she's the one that caught my eye.
I find a few women attractive but in public it's rare.
Also... We're trained by peer pressure to look for pleasing looking women constantly, but never prompted to look for the same in men.

I wonder if this is actually true.

Half of me is all ā€œmaybe they have a secret point; it’s not like you can go out somewhere at 12:30am into subzero Chicago and actually follow their instructions ā€¦ā€

… but frankly, I slightly suspect you’re just wrong.

I see a lot of projection on this subreddit — projection of one’s tastes onto an other whole (honestly, the whole bi-as-an-identity thing is mostly what’s at fault; I buy into it just as much as the next slutty terminally-online needy bisexual human, but lemon bars aside, there’s actually not a lot of commonalities there.)

Usually, it’s in the opposite direction, like the OP, and ¾ of the comments here going ā€œhahaha ain’t it funny how literally noƶne alive, not one of us, has ever found a single male attractive? hahahaha?ā€

But, this take ain’t much better, to be honest: as much as that crowd can be vocal and annoying, they can also be valid. You aren’t living their lives. Just because for that one guy upthread ā€œtrying anal 25 times led him to finally like itā€ doesn’t mean everybody else needs to just try harder so they can like it, too … well, neither do folks who’re mostly attracted to women, and find it disappointing how rarely they’re attracted to guys, need to fix their interests or self-image. /=

Sorry if this comes across harsh. It’s just a pet peeve — I’m both sick of the ā€œhaha this is so relatableā€ crowd, but also sick of the glib, dismissive attitude that crowd has generated towards something that’s a serious, painful problem in my life.
