Got a few charts here. The first is exclusive to Great Britain, which is from a study that found that 21% of young people (18-24) identified either as gay, lesbian, or bisexual (mostly bisexual - 16%).
The second one is for Americans, which is less extreme, but shows the difference by gender. Percentages of gays, lesbians, and male bisexuals have stayed fairly stable, but there has been an explosive increase in the number of female bisexuals.
The last chart (also for the US) narrows things down a bit more, as it shows the increase is mainly in effect in millennials. Other age groups are fairly stable.
So what we have is a large increase in the number of bisexuals among millennial females specifically. This is likely due to the effects of LGBTQ groups, who have been campaigning for more inclusiveness (and recruiting IMO). Young females are also likely participants in woke activist groups, so again it probably holds a special appeal to them.
I bring this up mostly to say that this is likely another factor in today's young men having difficulty finding female partners. Even if the girl is willing to date guys (as a bisexual), it is still doubling the amount of competition a guy is going to face among this group. Girls 18-24, with their peak SMV, are easily the most desired age group, by men of all ages, and apparently other females as well. This also shows the effects of today's culture.
