The bear community
is a masculinist subculture in the gay community. Bears are usually mature gay
or bisexual men with hairy bodies and facial hair; some are heavy-set, but that
is not a requirement. Bears often exhibit an outwardly masculine appearance.
Some bears place great importance on presenting a hyper-masculine image and shun
interaction with men who display effeminate style and mannerisms. Other bears do
not. There is much debate in the gay community as to
the definition of a bear: some say anyone who identifies himself as a bear is
one, while others argue that bears must have certain physical
characteristics--such as a hairy chest and face--and a certain mode of dress and
behavior.
Some terminology relating to the bear community includes:
chaser - a term that refers to someone who is not a bear, cub, or otter, but is sexually or romantically attracted to them (this term is often used in various communities to describe an outsider who has sexual attraction to people within that community) Also often referred to as a chaser.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.
bear run - a gathering or circuit party for bear and cub types.
behr - Guys with moustaches but no beard.
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 partner in a relationship. May also refer to recently out homosexual men who may fit into the characteristics of a bear. May not be as hairy but generally has facial hair.
daddybear - is an older more husky guy sometimes looking for a daddy/son relationship or a Bearcub.
grizzly bear - an older bear, often with a large, wilder beard - think Grizzly Adams.
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.
panda chub - A bear of east Asian descent.
polar bear - is an older bear with white or grey body hair and beard.
pocket bear - shorter bear.
sugar bear - a "sugar daddy" bear; a bear who wants the company of a younger or more traditionally attractive male or "chaser" in exchange for favors/gifts
wolf - similar to an otter, but with a more aggressive attitude OR an older otter, with grey hair.
woof! - A greeting sometimes used when a bear spots another bear in public and wants to express physical attraction. He will make a growling noise ("Grrrr!") or say "Woof!"
