Where Do You Fit?

[The Hunt]

I'm just curious about the sexuality of the people who have joined this group.
Are you straight, gay or what ever else?

Also, is there anyone who finds it difficult to fit into a category?

I know I do.
I'm a guy. I don't disciminate (or at least as little as possible within our society) between girls and guys clothes, I'll wear either. I'm far more sexually attracted to females than males. I am attracted to males but not really in a sexual way. And I think I'd rather be a girl than guy.
Quite a long winded thing to say when I'm asked about my sexuality so I usually just say that I'm bi.

A lot of my friends live like that. They live 3, or 4 people, in one apartment. None of them have kids yet, but I don't know if they'll continue to live like this after they've formed families. Some would say this is a hippie lifestyle, but for humans it would be more natural to live like that than to live by yourself, I think. I think you should do whatever makes you happy as long as you don't hurt anyone else.

well, I'm pansexual. but people never know what that means, so I say 'bisexual' to remove the confusion. either way, I hate both of those. they feel like labels and I just hate calling myself that.

a friend of mine called herself 'gender blind.' I love it. it's accurate and doesn't feel like a label.

I tend to just say I'm not straight if I'm asked (which I rarely am), there are several reasons for this.

1. In the case of the majority of the population the exact formula of who I like is not something they care about.
2. Because I find that when I say I'm Bi people tend to associate me with a Telia Tequila style of promiscuity that I do not enjoy being associated with.
3. For the most part it's none of their damn business.
4. Often the people asking are guys who I don't really want hitting on me so I kind of deliberately misrepresent myself so they'll go away (I know it's bad but hey whatever works).
5. I find it easier to say (both in my head and out loud) than anything else...I don't know why I just...do.

I also fall under the tomboyish straight girl category, but I've never been mistaken for a boy. Sometimes I almost feel left out being straight; more of the people I know are gay or bi than straight.

I tell people im gay if they ask simply because its alot shorter and people seem to understand that better.
But it is a little more complicated than that, I am usually only atracted to girls, always have been, although i have been with some guys just out of couriosity.
I think i would rather be a guy, but i dont want to change... if that makes any sence, it doesnt usually bother me a great deal to be a girl, i wear skirts and dresses from time to time and almost always wear make up but i would like to be a boy...but i think i would dress the same i if ever went that way, i like to wear both girls clothes and boys clothes, i dont really see much of a difference between them either, i just like fashion.
And its a little comlicated, sometimes i feel as if im atracted to a guy and i act on it and then im like...really? why did i think i liked him? i dont like this...im going back to girls.
I dont really decide purely on gender though.I think that most people have tendacies to both on some sort of level.

*raises hand* I find fitting into a category pretty hard.
I am female, biologically, but gender-wise I identify myself as either male or female, depending on circumstances and mood. I am attracted to both girls and guys, but I cannot see the fun in sleeping with a guy as the girl that I physically am. Which would make me bigendered and as such a bisexual guy and a lesbian woman. (Does this make sense? To me it does.)
To make things easy, I usually say I'm a lesbian. That's shorter.

I used to think there was no such thing as asexual and that I was just being a late bloomer of sorts, but at 17 and no real sexual attraction to any gender, it's becoming the most accurate label. The other day in AP Psychology was really what hammered that home for me. The girls got together and had to make a list of what attracted them for a short term and a long term relationship. I could not agree on anything with them. Physical attractiveness ranked high on their lists and they refused to budge when I asked them to put things like intellect, acceptance, financial stability. So I made my own list and compared it to theirs. We were on completely different pages. Physical attractiveness, romanticism, empathy all ranked high for them but it didn't even register on my list. I realized maybe we weren't swinging the same way so to speak.

I've seen the term sapiosexual thrown out a couple times and that seems to fit well too. Like I'm asexual but if I were to enter into a relationship intellect would be the driving force behind it. I would still like to get married. I don't know how that would work out. Hopefully I'll find some understanding guy or gal someday.

I'm 100 % straight, even though i did go through a short period of time, when i wondered if i was into girls. I don't deny that most females are very very good looking, but I'm not at all sexually attracted them, nor can i see myself dating them. Of course I''ve though about it, but it just isn't my thing. Still, my boyfriend is Bi, my best friends on the Ning are bi, I have gay friends and friends who don't care about sex/gender at all, thus I'm not like.. OMG how could you think that way. Love is love, not matter what gender or race.

i suppose i jsut mean to say yes i'm straight.. 100 %
but i don't discriminate against others
I think it's stupid.
