I think I'd describe my sexuality as being rather similar to yours. Like you, my actual experiences have been most often and most recently with men, but I'm far more likely to find women attractive. However, I don't like to identify as bi because that gives people the impression that I'm equally likely to fancy men and women, which just isn't true. On the other hand, I don't like to identify as gay/lesbian, because that gives the impression that I only ever fancy/have sex with women, which isn't true either.
When I'm talking about myself I usually try to avoid both terms, but other people often use one or the other of them to refer to me. Sometimes I think of myself as both gay and bisexual, and sometimes as neither. In general I hover in some kind of grey zone, and tend to think of myself as approximately 80% gay 20% bi. If that makes sense.
