Is there a certain preference as to whom you like better? Males over females or females over males?
So, for example, say you are a guy and you like guys more than girls, but if an awesome girl came along you would date her and be happy?

Personally, I identify as lesbian. But I didn't realize it until I was 21, after having some relationships with men, so if that makes me bi (and I don't think it does), I definitely prefer women. I have been with my partner for nearly 9 years.
While I have a hard time imagining having a long-term relationship with a man, I have to admit there have been times when I have found a guy attractive.
I would guess that a solid 80% of people are bisexual to one degree or another, with 10% purely straight, and 10% purely gay.
Whether one acts one's bisexual inclinations is an entirely different matter.
Want to find out where you fall on the spectrum? Dr. Robert Epstein's (Harvard, editor-chief Psychology Today) theory is that people are not necessarily fully straight or fully gay, that they could be somewhere between. His test (ESOI) is online. You can take to determine where are you on this spectrum at:

I don't know how much faith to put in this particular test, because I think it is too simple and short. But I DO believe wholeheartedly that there is a sexual continuum, and most people simply will not talk about it.
Gray areas are very hard for a lot of people to deal with. Black and white, good and evil, straight and gay, are much more manageable for most people... even though all of them are oversimplifications of reality.
Like I said, I am quite sure I'm lesbian, but on the test, got these results:
Your Mean Sexual Orientation is 9
Your Sexual Orientation Range is 6

I'm Bi and feel females make the best of friends, Yes I been burnt before by some friends but I still think they are the best, when it comes to guys I wish they could be into the friendship more but still I feel more attracted too them..
Update:
I just read my answer and it almost confussed me LOL In other words I like females as friends but if I had a choice I say men for the sex and that's not to put any down it's just how I feel. I like everyone

lovethislifehere,
I am a Bi male. I totally am attracted to women more than men. If an awesome guy walked into my life, I am not sure what I would do. I don't know if I would be satisfied by guys over a long period of time.

It depends on the person. Then again, preference for one sex over the other can also change over time and situation. Lots of people pretty much stay the same though, whether they be 50/50, 40/60, 95/5 or whatever.

Men, because I would never do the walking down the street holding hands stop borrowing my purses without asking crap with a female EVER. The girl on girl thing is purely used for entertainment purposes only , never long term.

I love women. Correction....I love the woman I am with. We are very happy and will be getting married soon. She is fully aware that I am bi. I informed her of that very early on in our relationship.
She knows I only like guys for the sex. There is no love with me for another man.
Wrong or right, that's just me.

It all depends on the person male or female. We just have a wider range of people to choose from.

I'm a true 50/50. I have no natural preference either way. It totally depends on the person in question.
