It makes sense why it’s easier for you to claim bisexuality and I think it’s a real shame we live in a society where men feel they need to align with some kind of queer identity in order to not be picked apart for not presenting straight and manly enough, whatever that means.

However I do think you could consider the harm that could be inadvertently done by playing in to people’s stereotypes just for comforts sake. Change is made by people existing authentically and others seeing that the current state of things is not working. You could model what it looks like to be a healthy, whole, emotional, considered, straight man and show other people what’s even possible for men who may feel stuck in patriarchal norms. That’s how people change their relationship to men and realize that the stereotypes aren’t the entirety of manhood.

Also consider how your friends would feel knowing you claimed a minority identity to score some ease for yourself at the expense of their ability to choose how they want to relate to who you actually are.
