Get the Mansplaining mug.A a dudebro/fuckboy wants to explain something they definitely know Everything™ about, often adding false intellectual materials to pass off as superior.

Kinda makes it likely that you are more into girls than guys tho’.
Guys are much more available as partners for women unless they are quite unattractive.
But let’s imagine it was exactly equal that you would select a girl or a guy - that their sex genuinely was irrelevant, and that there was no difference in availability.
I’m rusty at maths, but from memory, the chance it’s coincidence is
(1/(2^5)) *100%
= (1/32) *100%
= 0.03125 *100%
=3.125%
Feel free to correct my maths - it’s been about 35 years now since i did probability.
But if i was a betting man - i’m going to say my money is going to be on a woman for your next partner.
Maybe you are a lesbian, and maybe dudes need to know that so they don’t get hurt? Just a thought."
