2. Wouldn't that be orientation?
Isn't identification your gender?

59. 99.9% gay here
Congratulations on your 100%.

As for my .1%, I'd have to make an exception for Angelina Jolie in that early (1995) movie she did "Hackers". Hot! Of course I'm old (39) and semi-wretched looking; she wouldn't want anyone like that, would she? Ooops (BBT).

9. Sexually hetero but psychologically fairly androgynous
I'm not gay, I'm not transsexual, I'm just a woman with no interest whatever in chick stuff. I've never understood why, but I think it may have something to do with being a geek.

There are plenty of times I've envied gays because at least they know why they're different. I don't have a clue. All I know is that I'm wired weird.

53. I feel like I identify with you
I am a 100-percent straight male, but have no inclination towards stereotypically more "masculine" interests (sports, cars, guns, strip clubs, drinking, acting like an insensitive jackass when with my friends, etc.). I'm not effeminate, though, and not into stereotypically female interests either, and if I've ever been mistaken for being gay it's only been because my extreme shyness means I've only had one girlfriend (albeit a very serious one) in the twenty years of my life so that some have assumed I have no interest in the opposite sex and am, therefore, gay. Lack of success does not translate into lack of interest, though. haha Perhaps my problem comes more from living in the Deep South and its cultural norms and I'd fit in much better in a different area, but feeling this different way has caused me a good deal of frustration since the time I hit puberty. I'm not sure what makes me different; I like the way that I am, though, even if it complicates my life sometimes.

FWIW, I'm pretty much a geek, too, and it's good to see someone else who feels similarly to the way I do.

I have met a lot of lesbians who really, really dislike bisexual women. It sucks. My sisters girlfriend was like that, until she met my sister that is.

I've met a lot... Though, hopefully I'll meet more that aren't so prejudiced against bi's.
Good luck finding more... I found the best place to meet cute girls was University campus.

11. Not sure how to answer this.
I self identify as bi, but if you're looking for a 'primary' sexual identification/orientation, I would say "not hetero."

You're better groomed than the average strait guy (which is generally a good thing).

I only had one serious lesbian type pass from a friend that was bi. She actually ended the friendship because she liked me and it was hard for her because I didn't return the feelings.

57. LOL, me too and my huzbear is even worse...
We take walks in the early evening and my huzbear always wears dark-colored socks with short pants.

And don't even get me started about his coffe-cup collection in the living room...oy vey! But he's my sweety (18 years and counting!)

But I'm not much better. I love Chinese tchotchkes.

and I'm definitely hetero.

What do they call it, androgynous, when you would feel comfortable as either a man or a woman? I could dig that.

Really. I seem to have some vague memories of being Hetero, but I've been having "Divorce flashbacks" or something which makes me think I've regained my virginity...

Let's just call it "Involuntarily Asexual"...

...the 1% is subjective... only there because I firmly believe that MOST people are bisexual, and if homeosexuality were an accepted norm in our society, you'd see a lot more of it.

42. I'm an opportunist
I'm attracted to individuals, not genders. I guess that makes me bisexual. I'm not quite as bisexual as my husband is, but I'm not entirely comfortable around people who self-define as super-straight. It always seems kind of defensive to me. I guess I just don't empathize with anyone that doesn't find both genders attractive in certain individuals.

I've actually met someone who was a lesbian trapped inside a man's body.

He (now she) had the surgery and is now a happy lesbian...believe it or not!!

hell, I'll buy it if I can't get it any other way! :)

But seriously, I'm straight as straight can be. I respect everyone regardless of whatever their sexual preference is. Life is too short to go around obsessing about what other people do in regards to their sex life. I just wish everyone could do the same.
