Singer Miley Cyrus says she has dated both men and women, but she felt uncomfortable due to the "macho energy".
The 22-year-old, who was previously engaged to Liam Hemsworth and dated Patrick Schwarzenegger, has found a problem when romancing people of both genders.
Explaining why she dislikes "overly macho energy", Cyrus told Time magazine: "That made me feel like I had to be a femme-bot, which I'm not. And then when I was with a girl, I felt like, 'Oh s**t, she's going to need someone to protect her, so I'm going to need to have this macho energy'."
Though Cyrus finds it easy to meet people she can have sex with, she struggles to make a meaningful connection.
She said: "F***ing is easy. You can find someone to f**k in five seconds. We want to find someone we can talk to. And be ourselves with. That's fairly slim pickings."
