In the English-speaking world, most people know about three orientations that are usually attracted to men: bisexuals, [[Romantic and sexual orientation#Heterosexuality|heterosexual women]], and [[Romantic and sexual orientation#Homosexuality|homosexual men]] ([[Romantic and sexual orientation#Gay men|gay men]]). Some other identity labels have been proposed in order to have a way to say that one is usually attracted to men, without labeling one's own gender identity: androphilia, marsic, mascic, and uranic. Some identity labels have been proposed specifically for nonbinary people who are usually attracted to men: nonbinary people loving men (NBLM), quadrisian/toric, thistlian, and viramoric.
