Miley Cyrus is keeping it real.

The singer didn't hold anything back when she opened up about her love life with Time magazine, and while most of us know the basic details about her previous relationships and all that jazz (Hi, Patrick Schwarzenegger!), Cyrus also spoke about dating both men and women, and her feeling of dissatisfaction with both.

Miley—who pointed out that she was always the one girls "wanted to experiment" with in Nashville—explained that when dating guys, there was an "overly macho energy" that she didn't like.

"That made me feel like I had to be a femme-bot, which I'm not. And then when I was with a girl, I felt like, ‘Oh s--t, she's going to need someone to protect her, so I'm going to need to have this macho energy.' And that didn't feel right either."

Gender aside, Cyrus also pointed out that finding someone to have sex with is never an issue, but finding someone to actually talk to...that's not as easy.

"F--ing is easy," she bluntly states. "You can find someone to f--k in five seconds. We want to find someone we can talk to. And be ourselves with. That's fairly slim pickings." 

Speak on it, girlfriend. The singer has never been one to be a fan of labels, and therefore doesn't label herself as anything specific when it comes to who she dates. She just wants to be happy, and detailed one specific experience she had on Valentine's Day last year.

"All the women in the restaurant were with these older, fat men that had just let themselves go. They were just being drunk bastards. And then the women were sitting there, trying so hard just to look good. And they're ignoring them the whole time. And I thought, 'I'm not living like this,'" she said.

"If I end up in a straight relationship, that's fine—but I'm not going to be with f---ing slob guys who are watching porn, making all their girls feel ugly."

The celeb, who also launched a campaign to support the LGBT community, wants fans to be able to find the strength to be themselves.

"I hope more kids don't do what I did and sit in their room and cry, thinking ‘I just don't know what I'm supposed to be,'" she said. "But when I tell kids sometimes, ‘Just be yourself,' I feel like, ‘I hope you can do that. Can you really do that?'"

"Maybe if you're finally getting to be yourself, it's more of a celebration," Miley added. "Like, you are living your f---ing life."
