Most people can't agree, but this is my breakdown:

Bears--men who are heavy, bulky, muscular, hairy, tall and/or older

Cubs--men who are heavy, bulky, muscular, hairy, short and/or younger

Otters--men who are tall, hairy, and skinny

Seals--no idea

I always feel like I'm kinda cubbish. But I don't seem to fit into that scene.

Bears are generally older, hairy and have more than a little meat on their bones.

Cubs are generally younger, hairy and have more than a little meat on their bones.

Otters can be of any age, I think. They are usally hairy and trim/fit/thin, etc.

I'm not sure what a seal is.

ETA: Yeah, what Jerby said, although I'd never seen height brought into the mix before.

According to the Gay Slang Dictionary:

seal n. Young legal age teen, or young adult with hairless swimmers body, height, weight, is average or under for the frame.(hairlessness, smaller stature, lack of muscular development.).
A seal is the younger partner in a relationship where one person prefers a love partner much older than himself. in a intergenerational relationships.
