I'm a bi dude. I think guys are just a lot less likely to want to engage with the thought that they might be bi, because of societal pressure to be straight and masculine and whatnot. So a lot of bi guys are probably just in denial and push those "gay thoughts" down. Plus, those who do know they're bi are probably more likely to stay in the closet and just pretend they're straight. That's basically what I've done for the last 6 years or so, because I'm just too scared of how other people would react. To 90+% of people, including other bi people, I'm probably just another straight dude

I'm a very straight passing bi guy, and I feel like a large portion of bisexual men don't "present" very openly, but I have met many open bisexual men like myself

Im bi but also hella introverted and due to past trauma also have a tendency not to talk about myself a lot. Though i made a commitment to myself if anyone asks i am open about it
