Doesn't surprise me at all. Don't men lie more often regarding questions about sex? (Always thought we did.) Don't men also tend to tie their self-worth to the classic father, head of the household image? In my corner of the world, society has always been kinder to gay women than men. It's changing, slowly, but you do not see any male/male affection in public. I'm presuming men in the study have ego's, and whatever effect that has on their social interaction. Isn't the study just picking up on this?
Not suggesting bi men don't exist, I'm just suggesting that the percentages could be skewed by how men and women associate sexual orientation to self-image.
