Why do I like bisexual girls?

It’s a funny thing. I’m looking at OKCupid’s matches for me, and it appears that I am attracted to a dispro­por­tionate amount of bisexual women that show up on my list. I have no issue with bisexual women. No, it’s not because I think it’s hot to see woman on woman sex (well, to be fair, I never really explored that issue in depth, so I don’t have much of an opinion on the matter). So it’s not like I have any conscious attraction towards bisexual women. It’s not a sexual or even a psycho­logical thing.

Empir­i­cally, if I were to judge from aesthetics, there must be some­thing about bisexual women that are attractive to me. From a strictly physical stand­point, judging from the profile pictures of women I am attracted to (though my sense of attraction may be different from most males), I seem to pick out more bisexual women than straight. It’s interesting.

I am also empir­i­cally attracted Jewish women, many of whom fit my “type”: phys­i­cally smaller with dark hair. Oh, and also Slavic women. So theo­ret­i­cally, if I found a bisexual Russian Jewish woman, I would have found my idea of a (phys­i­cally) perfect woman. Does Jdate allow gentiles to search by sexual orientation?

Do I have bi-dar? Perhaps I have some latent remote sensing capa­bil­ities that allow me to sniff out bisexuals from pictures of their face. I jest of course. In all seri­ousness, I do wonder (but not for very long) if there’s some reason that I find myself aesthet­i­cally attracted to bisexual women. Do keep in mind that I look first at the profile picture. Only after I find her acceptable (don’t get me wrong, I’m not super­ficial; my rating system consists of two ratings: good enough or not, and it’s not hard to be good enough) do I look at the basic infor­mation. And it’s at that point that it is revealed to me that they are often bisexual.

Perhaps there’s some scien­tific reasoning for my attraction. Or it could just as easily be chance. After all, my life is full of statis­tical improb­a­bility. At the end of the day, who cares: I try not to take this stuff too seriously.
