I've heard of bi as experiencing both homosexual (same-gender) and heterosexual (different-gender) attraction. That's the definition I like, as it's not necessarily non-binary exclusionary and so accurately describes how I experience attraction.
That's definitely one way to be bi :)
But there are also bi folk who aren't attracted to men for example
Oh yeah totally, and that's just how I interpret it for myself :)
I think it being not necessarily exclusionary is the key - experiencing heterosexual attraction doesn't mean that you're attracted to every other gender (although it can mean that as well)
