A survey of Americans found only 10% more men said they would be comfortable with a bisexual partner.[1] And heterosexual men aren't more accepting of homosexua

  That’s a thousand basis points, not 10%. It’s 36% more men than women. Unfortunately they don’t have cross tabs, but given the strong falloff starting at baby boomers I wouldn’t be surprised if the differential was even larger if you limit the population to GenX and below.

    A basis point is defined as 0.01%. And it isn't used commonly outside finance. I think I stated it how most people would. To be clear it was 38% of men and 28% of women. The ratio says much less about the world than how low both numbers are. Older people are more likely to say bisexual men are gay and in denial. Or all men who have sex with men are less masculine. Those stereotypes are more common than equivalent stereotypes about bisexual women. I would be surprised if their relationship preferences didn't reflect that. And those stereotypes illustrate how acceptance isn't just about intimate relationships too.
