Alright this probably isn't the right place to ask this, and I fear I'm about to start a shitstorm, but what is the actual difference between bisexual and pansexual? As far as my own understanding goes it's just semantics and they really mean the same thing, but if I'm wrong I'd love to be corrected. I feel I should clarify I do not care if you prefer to use pansexual over bisexual or vice versa, whatever makes you happy I'm cool with, just genuine curiosity here.

I call myself bi because I am attracted to many genders&body types but not all; a few combinations of gender expression and body features don't work for me.

The people I know who are pan say something like "I'm attracted to people's personalities and character, the body is irrelevant". While that's a pretty inspiring way to be, that ain't me.

There isn't really a good term for people like me that has a good etymology imo, but bi is closest.
