Miley Cyrus says she prefers dating women and having a more 'dominant' role in those relationships

• Miley Cyrus said for much of her life she felt relationships with women "made more sense" than relationships with men because of her dominant and masculine personality traits.
• In an episode of Barstool Sports' "Call Her Daddy" podcast, Cyrus said part of her "therapy journey" has been figuring out why she chooses to date women or men.
• Cyrus has been criticized in the past for making controversial statements about her sexuality, like "[women] don't have to be gay."

Miley Cyrus said relationships with women "make more sense" to her than dating men because of her "dominant" personality type.

Speaking during a new episode of the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, Cyrus said: "Female relationships make more sense to me because the role that I was in made more sense because it was like 'Well there's not going to be this weird thing of, like, well I pay for everything.'"

While Cyrus acknowledged that "that's just a stereotype too," and she would be fine dating a successful "boss b----," she described her relationships with women as ones in which she assumes as more "masculine" role.

"The [dominant] role fit easier for me because even in my relationship with men, a lot of the times, I kinda hold a more dominant space," she added.

Her words come a year after Cyrus said women "don't have to be gay," implying sexuality is a choice. "There are good men out there, guys, don't give up. You don't have to be gay," Cyrus said in an Instagram Live video. The singer and actress later clarified her statement on Twitter.

Cyrus, 27, said that she was attracted to females before ever feeling sexual attraction towards men, saying "I got most of my girl friends to hook up with me," and "the first time I ever hooked up with anyone was with a girl, two of them."

But during adulthood, part of her "therapy journey" has been working through why she decided to date certain genders because dating women made her role in the relationship feel "less uncomfortable."

"It felt like I was choosing partners out of anxiety," Cyrus said. "I don't wanna choose who I'm gonna be with, out of anxiety or fear or stereotypes. I need to find a guy who's confident enough in himself that he's OK that I'm like masculine and strong and there's a lot of qualities to me that tend to associate more with the male role."
