Do you think fab should expand their sexuality options on profiles? Currently they only have straight, bí curious, bisexual and gay but there are many more orientations not such as pansexual and sapiosexual. |

For those like us who had to google:
Sapiosexual - (of a person) finding intelligence sexually attractive or arousing.
Pansexual - not limited in sexual choice with regard to biological sex, gender, or gender identity. |

Are most people not Sapiosexuals - just to varying degrees / place on list of priorities? If only priority, would Bi not cover this?
Pansexual probably covered by Bi in a broad sense? If you’re gay, I understand it doesn’t automatically mean you’re compatible with all types of gay men/ women and preferences for top or bottom seem to be listed very often.
Not trying to be ignorant but would appear like a piece of string to us. Happy to be educated and would support any additional options if people feel discriminated against. |

Pansexual would probably be a good one to have but I feel being attracted to intelligence isn't a sexuality in its own right? Happy to be corrected on that! |

I thought the same about those labels, seem like a preference to me. |

I do think they are very limited and should be expanded. If you fall into one of the categories available, it’s very easy to say they’re fine but if you do identify as something outside those categories, it’s not as simple as just choosing another option.
The gender labels are the ones that really need updating imo.
In all honesty, fab could do with an overhaul with regards to gender, sexuality and body type labels. While the site is technically free, an awful lot do pay and it would be nice to see a meaningful update now and then. |

I wouldn't class pan as covered by bi as a lot of pansexuals would actually class themselves as gender blind. |

Some would call it a sexuality while many don't. It's a very old idea that's becoming very popular in recent years. |

I'd agree there. Lumping ts/TV into one category isn't right (they are the same thing) while adding other genders such as gender fluid and non binary would be a great step. We see it on other sites and do wonder why fab is behind in this. |

That's true to be fair. As you and someone else commented Fab should definitely expand the gender choices, it's very limited and yeah classing TV/TS/TG as the same thing is kinda shocking in my opinion |

Seems like the easiest solution would just to have a text box rather than a list of options for gender sexuality and body type and let people use their own language to define themselves |

A decent idea but that means you can't filter by that field because you can't match exact text. |
