>"I’m bisexual.” REALITY: 80% of self-identified bisexuals are only interested in one gender.
>People who describe themselves as bisexual overwhelmingly message either one sex or the other, not both as you might expect.
Yes, I remember this. It was sad to see such basic logic errors from OKC. It seems a little like saying that heterosexuality is a myth because all "heterosexual" people prefer some women over others. Bisexual means you are attracted to both masculine and feminine people. It does not imply a 50 / 50 split, or that you want to date everyone equally. The Match.com Orwellian activity aside - that critique was always very odd.
