21. I think it depends on what you mean by biases.
There's a big difference, imho, between socializing and who you have sexual attraction to.

For example, from my earliest years of sexual development, I've been attracted to older, stocky male types. The typical young smooth 'pretty boy' type has never been my interest, even when I was one. I can appreciate their beauty, just as i can appreciate the beauty of of women, but there is no attraction.

That doesn't mean I dislike 'twink' types. For me, there is a difference between who I would persue sexually, and who I will be friends with. Who I'd persue sexually (if I wasn't already lucky enough to be married to the greatest man in the world LOL) is limited. Not limited by stereotypes, or pre-judgements based on appearance, but limited by what I find attractive to my personal tastes.. for me it is and always has been older, stocky men. But, when it comes to friendships, or social settings, the only limitation is personality.. If I find their personality offensive, odious, or obnoxious our contact is going to be short lived.
