I think most people don't really understand what a bear really is. The other
day a buddy who runs another gay porn site sent me a picture of
a mildly hairy guy and asked me if I thought this guy was a bear.
The problem was the guy was in his 20s, weighed about 150, and had
about as much hair on his chest as I have on my arm. So begins the
discussion: What is a hairy bear?
But to list off characteristics or traits that a
man must possess in order to be classified a bear is not a efficient
approach to the whole question because isn't one man's bear another
man's cub and another man's fat guy? Is a 300-pound, bearded man
with no chest hair still considered a bear? Or is he a chub? And
he if classifies himself as a bear, but he doesn't meet the criteria
someone or some group has created, then his this man still allowed
to label himself bear?
I think first and foremost bear is a state of mind.
If a man doesn't consider himself a bear, then he has rejected the
label, hasn't he. We might still be tempted to refer to him as a
bear because we do like our labels, but is he really a bear? Secondly,
I think the whole labelling of people is pretty subjective. Like
I've already said: what I consider a bear someone else might just
consider a fat guy.
Here are two very different kinds of bears. Harry's
a stocky, chubbier bear, while Steve Dragon is more of a muscle
daddy. Check back as I continue to add more galleries. |
