Maybe there isn't a definition for "Bear" in the gay community, it's just a label you put on people to make them "fit in". When I imagine a Bear, I see him the way you described as well as showed in the last 3 pictures. (the One with glasses is my fav.) but to the guy next door, a bear is all muscle and no fur. So we continue to ask ourselves, "What is a bear?" what is a bear is a cub, what is a cub is a baby, what is a baby is what he grows to be. What he is labeled... is nothing but a label. <br /><br />-MeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5938549632581079470.post-60895176724365921962012-02-19T13:32:00.069-08:002012-02-19T13:32:00.069-08:00The bear community has a nice reputation for being...The bear community has a nice reputation for being all-inclusive, but the fact is that's just a fable. There are plenty of folks in the community who are separatists and exclusionary. My mind keeps going back to the time in Cleveland I went to a bear night night at one of the bar and the guy at the door said, "oh I'm sorry, this is bear night. You don't belong here". Some other guy told him to shut the fuck up and let me in, but the night was already ruined. I wasn't hairy enough or large enough or masculine enough or old enough or who knows what. Whatever the problem was, it let me feeling pretty bad.<br /><br />More recently I had a guy on the internet tell me I'm not part of the bear community because I don't look old enough. That's bullshit. I'm 45 and look every bit of it.<br /><br />I think a bear is first and foremost anyone, and I mean ANYONE, who thinks of himself as a bear. And that should be the end of it.Cubbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15419686621818785014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5938549632581079470.post-43455928207662365502012-02-18T13:15:45.910-08:002012-02-18T13:15:45.910-08:00Well, a bear to me is any guy, like these, that dw...Well, a bear to me is any guy, like these, that dwarf me in many ways!!!!! I love bear guys, but I have never dated one yet. I do have some bear friends that take me camping, and I always seem to be a hit with them. One of these days! But the second batch of pictures seems to be what bears are from what I have seen, and my bears friends would call the first batch musclemen.Mistress Maddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02098940220513091207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5938549632581079470.post-32477826898389008372012-02-18T10:37:16.401-08:002012-02-18T10:37:16.401-08:00I like musclemen and I like bears, but they are no...I like musclemen and I like bears, but they are not at all the same thing!
