It seems that many women, even while acknowledging their own sexual fluidity, don’t want to date men who are sexually fluid.

From the article:

Sadly, the woman I briefly dated is not alone in her beliefs. In a survey of over 1,000 women, conducted by Glamour in 2016, 63% of women said they wouldn’t date a man who’s had sex with another man. (This isn’t just men who identify as bi. This includes all men who’ve experimented with another man, even if it only happened once!) Still, 47% of women said they’ve been attracted to another woman, and 31% of women have had a sexual experience with another woman.

    It actually does. That’s what the whole concept refers to.

    Whether it’s true is a different story, but that is exactly what is meant when a person says “less manly”. They mean less capable of competing with other men in tests of will and strength.
