Men are from Mars and women are from Venus — and Maren Morris agrees!

In a recent appearance on the U Up? podcast, the “Girl” singer, who came out as bisexual last year, opened up about her experience dating men and women.

For starters, Morris found that she has an easier time connecting with women. With men, it takes longer to go there.

“My experience has been really positive. But I also have a confusion sometimes because I can connect with a woman, any woman, within like two minutes, and we’ll be talking about our childhoods… Like, we will get into it so quickly. With a guy that would take like years to get into that trauma,” Morris, 35, said.

She continued, “But we’re so good at building community out of sharing stories or gossip or whatever… It’s a survival technique. We cling together out of vulnerabilities.”

Though she’s able to connect with women on an “emotionally deep level,” that sometimes make things confusing when determining if she has a romantic connection — or just a friendship.

“I sometimes have the hard delineation of romance versus friendship, because women can connect so quickly and easily, which is a magical thing about us,” she said. “But that’s the comparison, I guess, to dating men, right? Because I’ve been there. It’s like, I have enough friends. I think I’m good. I’m looking for something beyond that. But sometimes the chemistry isn’t there. It doesn’t depend, you know, on the guy or the girl.”

Morris, who was married to singer-songwriter Ryan Hurd for five years before filing for a dissolution of marriage in October 2023, revealed she identifies as bisexual in a celebratory LGBTQ+ Pride Month post in June of last year.

“happy to be the B in LGBTQ+,” wrote Morris, who is a longtime advocate for the queer community, alongside photos of herself holding Pride flags during her RSVP Redux Tour stop in Phoenix. “happy pride.”

Elsewhere in the podcast, Morris opened up about her first date with a woman and revealed she was “nervous.”

“I had never been on a date with a woman. So, of course, I’m going to be like, ‘What the hell does this is look like?’ But then it was so easy and ended up being like a three-hour hang,” she said.

In August, Morris revealed to PEOPLE that she found the courage to come out as bisexual after writing her song “Push Me Over.”

“I didn’t ever feel before I had the courage to say that, and it was something that I knew for decades, but I think it was just the timing of: I’m in a space to say this without anything really getting misconstrued, and it’s Pride Month,” Morris said of her Instagram revelation. “I also had just felt comfortable in myself enough to write a song like ‘Push Me Over.’ It gave me the little shot of courage I needed, I guess.”

“It didn’t really feel like coming out,” Morris added of her decision to make the announcement. “It just felt like, ‘Oh, and by the way, I’m kind of in the club too, so happy pride.’ It was the most free, fun, silly way to do it.”
