As previously explained, claims based on your own personal experience or what you believe or remember to be your own personal experience do not count as supporting evidence for claims about general social phenomena.

For example, there’s [this 2011 report on the incidence of homosexuality](http://www.lgbttobacco.org/files/How-many-people-are-LGBT-Final.pdf), which estimates that something under 4% of all American adults identify as lesbian, gay, or bisexual.

> If only about one-tenth of **all adults under 45** acknowledge **any** same-sex attraction, it’s ridiculous to suggest that over **nine-tenths** of all female adults under 25 fall in that category. The demographics implied by your claim simply are not realistic.

I thought you were another poster, sorry. First up, there’s no,way that number is that low. Is that for. Some religious website? There’s been surveys saying 75% of girls are bi and others claiming more although I admit the validity to it could be off. I said it was the experience of everyone I’ve spoken to on this matter of female sexuality in multiple places. It’s always either most girls are bi, say they are bi, hook up with girls, etc. now maybe when women take these surveys they say heterosexual? I’m not sure but that is most likely the case.
