I must admit I'm surprised. I came across some #statistics outlining there are more gay #men than #women in the #UK.

Almost twice as many in fact, and even adding in #bisexuality it still tilts that way.

Why am I surprised? Well it's simply because it doesn't match my experience.

Over my six decades, I've met dozens of women who were in same-sex #relationships but only four or five men.

I can think of many possible reasons for the discrepancy, but it still feels wrong.

It's very hard to discount your own #experience as atypical. We're hardwired to think we're a representative sample
