What do you think of this?

And this?

_slavo_ · 10.27.2009, 04:48 AM

why do they all have beards?

without a beard, you can't qualify for a bear?

Genteel Death · 10.27.2009, 04:52 AM

Not really, you'd qualify as a chub.

Toilet & Bowels · 10.27.2009, 07:37 AM

why don't you have a beard?

Mine neither, that's why I don't grow one. It's too patchy.

The potential of sweat. hehe, I'm nicking this for a song title.

I like this guy's beard, even though he looks like he has bovine eye disease a bit.

Rob Instigator · 10.27.2009, 08:46 AM

I wonder exactly when in our cultural zeitgeist did rough looking burly bearded men become a marker for gay? Was there some sort of backlash from the super clean cut, hairless gays? I wonder?

Totally. These days it's not so strange to see bears in more bars than about 6/7 years ago. To be honest the bearded, masculine type has become such a trendy look for so many gays it's boring, and it's just as clonised as the the hairless type. Also, maybe it's just me, but I find the average age of the type of guys who hang out in bars is much older than it was before. This could be because of the internet.

Rob Instigator · 10.27.2009, 09:05 AM

Maybe there is a shift, since it seems that acceptance is more readily available, and going to the strictly "gay" bars is no longer the only option for the fellas.

do you think it happened when many straight guys decided to co-opt the style and look of the gay guys, the clean cut, super hairless look?

Toilet & Bowels · 10.27.2009, 09:07 AM

do fag hags hang out with bears?

_slavo_ · 10.27.2009, 09:27 AM

i find the bear types much more appealing than the super clean-cut, smooth and well-dressed gay dudes.
maybe because in my previous job, there was an IT manager who was a typical bear and he was the friendliest, funniest and generally greatest dude ever, and in my current job there's this feminine-looking homo guy who is a total fucking asshole and I can't wait until he gets fired.
