I'm an otter - didn't even know there was such a thing.

It makes sense, though. Aren't Otters the ones who beat on their food to get them to open up?

The "Hot TV Dads" thread inspired you to bump this, didn't it?

The furry one is Eric Evans. One of my favorites. If you want to rent me a porn star for my birthday, he's the one!

I don't recognize the other one, but I wouldn't kick him out of bed. (Well, it would be hard to, because he'd be handcuffed to the headboard....)

okay, now what's a Wolf?!?

from wikipedia:

Note: The terms Bear, Cub, Otter, Wolf, etc. are usually capitalized to differentiate between the "animals" referenced and their human counterparts.

Otter - a man who is hairy, but is not large or stocky - typically thinner, or with lean muscle. Slimmer version of a Bear with little pockets of fat like love handles or a tiny gut, but not as lean as a Wolf.

I dont understand where I fit in anymore...I think I used to be a wolf, but that was before the term was coined...back then it was called otter, I wasnt a bear because I was too thin...15 lbs. later I am not a bear, but an otter, which is what I started out as in the first place...no wait, I'm older too, and so therefore a daddy, right? NO I dont think there are otterdaddies...are there?

Oh, am I glad I dont have to describe myself in personal ads anymore!

Can we please get a list here of every category from twink to bear?

I'm so uninformed.

It's all very simple really:

A bear is big and hairy.

A cub is a just a younger bear.

An otter is thin and hairy (and usually a bottom) and a wolf is thin and hairy (and usually a top).

From BearLifestyle.com:

Bear terminology relating to the Bear community includes:

Bear - a man with a beard or goatee typically with a hairy chest and body and a stocky or heavyset build; often older (or older looking) and displaying a masculine appearance.

Cub - a younger (or younger looking) version of a Bear, typically but not always with a smaller frame. The term is sometimes used to imply the passive (bottom) partner in a relationship. May not be as hairy but generally has facial hair. A cub may be one that is less experienced in the bear culture.

Daddybear - is an older guy sometimes looking for a daddy/son relationship or a Bearcub.

Musclebear - a man who identifies as being a Bear, sporting a beard or goatee, hairy body, and is generally muscular. Linebacker build, a mix of muscle and fat.

Musclecub - a younger (or younger looking) version of a muscle Bear, or a man who identifies as being a Musclebear and/or less hairy.

Otter - a man who is hairy, but is not large or stocky - typically thinner, or with lean muscle. Also typically identified by an energetically playful and flirtatious manner. Slimmer version of a Bear with little pockets of fat like love handles or a tiny gut, but not as lean as a Wolf.

RobbO Bear - a short Bear

Wolf - similar to an Otter, but with a more aggressive attitude OR an older Otter, with grey hair. A leaner version of an Otter, can have a swimmers build but hairy.

woof! - A greeting sometimes used when a Bear spots another Bear in public and wants to express physical attraction. He might make a growling noise ("Grrr!") or say "Woof!"

But what if you're thin and in your mid 20s and not hairy?

You're a twink--and if you like bears, you're a bear-chaser.

[Wanna Be A Foster]

Posted: 8/16/07 at 10:06am

Ha.

[doodlenyc]

Posted: 8/16/07 at 10:14am

PJ, is that like whiskey with a beer chaser?

What happens when a twink hits 30?

[SonofMammaMiaSam]

Posted: 8/16/07 at 10:58am

They become social outcasts.

[doodlenyc]

Posted: 8/16/07 at 11:00am

Twinks dont hit 30...ever hear of Logan's Run?

[Calvin]

Posted: 8/16/07 at 11:01am

Dude, that happens at 26!

Besides, aren't twinkies so full of preservatives that they can last thousands of years without spoiling?

[PalJoey]

Posted: 8/16/07 at 11:01am

When a twink hits 30 he becomes a twunk.

[Calvin]

Posted: 8/16/07 at 11:03am

Or a twank. Choose your path.
