Comments on Bearophobic? Moi?
Vomit.
Not afraid of bears?
Hmm. If you're in the woods and not afraid of bears, you're not paying attention.
And probably lunch.
Thank you, Dan.
Stephen Colbert says that bears are to be feared: they are always trying to take our picinic baskets.
Mmmm... I love that photo. It makes an annual appearance every Christmas season in my home. :D
Why is Santa's face orange??
Bear or not, this picture of Ben Cohen makes my neener tingle.

Am I the only one that likes Bears and half naked, hairless youths?
Am I the only one who likes mummies?
I'm with you Mike the Mo in MO. Hot is hot is hot, and no label can change that.
gosh, i feel so special right now...i'll have to have this Slog framed and put on my mantle.
by the way, what were these beach bears named?
boo boo and yogi?
what exactly were you doing with them?
and you WOULD post a Ryan Phillipe picture...ugh...(i'm so glad that Reese dumped him and hooked up with Gyllenho)If you were going to go the Pinkberry nipple route you might have at least put up one of your Strangercrombie models and put a plug in for that...
wait a minute...bears...beach...i know Dan goes to MICHIGAN in the summer...Michigan Matt THANKS Dan up above...does anyone know if Michigan Matt is a bear?
This seems particularly cruel for us bear-lovers given that Santa is the ultimate silver daddy.
It's sad that men who don't give a dam about staying in shape (other than round) use a term for an animal that is big and hairy due to it's nature and need to store fat for the winter, not because it does not care about its body and health. Maybe we should call the shot as it is, fat. Of course don't for one second think a 45 year old can compete with a 25 year old in the ageist arena of looks, they can't. But there is no reason a 45 year old has to be fat and out of youthful shape, and hence defaming a Bear.
"Of course don't for one second think a 45 year old can compete with a 25 year old in the ageist arena of looks, they can't."
That is 360 degrees of bullshit.
@13: Actually, not all bears are fat and hairy. A bear is someone who is large and hairy. Once a year at my favorite club, bears from all over get together and have a party. Some of them are fat, but others are very muscular. That surprised me, because up until that point I thought that all bears were fat and hairy. Oh well, live and learn!
Mr. Poe just wants a silver fox.
I want more than just one, Bellevue Ave.
@13
In this instance we're not talking about the kind of bear you're imagining (fat, hairy). We're talking about rugged, in-shape men like the one pictured in the post Dan refers to.
perhaps the middle of the twink bear spectrum
360 degrees of BS, Explain please. You think a 45 year old can pass for 25? I think Not.
Bleeeck...dammit michael why you have to provoke him?
yuck...you can keep most 25 year olds...
if you look on Craigslist or Manhunt, most of the twentysomethings are paunchy, pasty and not in very good shape...meanwhile, a lot of the fortysomethings are fit and healthy looking.
besides, (since we're apparently making dumb, broad statements), most people under 30 AREN'T very good in bed.
yeah, I don't think "bear" refers to a hairy man, not necessarily fat.
On the other hand, "twink" definitely refers to hairless and skinny.
sorry, I meant: "bear" refers to hairy, not necessarily fat.
Chi Type: do you mean ME!?!?!
Who'd I provoke, Dan?
We're just havin' fun...
I sent Dan a picture of a Pinkberry boy I like, but he hasn't posted it yet...sigh...
i'm guessing the 2 bears are andrew sullivan and his husbian.
and to sargon: whether he can "pass" is not the point; i'll take a 45 year-old over a guy in his 20s any day [see michael strangeways' dumb, broad statements above for further details].
Ryan Phillipe might be a bit of a dipshit, but I would happily gag him and lick every inch of him. That pic is smokin hot.
Michigan Matt is NOT a bear...at least as far as his twin brother knows. Of course I've not seen him in a few months, but I would describe him as more of an 'otter' variety.
@22 Michael
25 year olds being paunchy and fat on Craigslist and Manhunt?
That's probably why they have to USE CL and Manhunt.
duhhhh
(I wouldn't know)
Is an otter like a bear, but with a swimmer's build?
Look ma. Some of the gays are showing their true, superficial, body fascist, ho bag colors. Sorry we don't all waste our lives by living at the gym just to please your narrow vision of what's attractive, which is mostly molded by consumerist culture and media. God forbid some us have brains instead of adonis bodies.
Mr Sargon Bighorn I hope you get a pituitary disorder.
Keep up the good work, Dan.
Does this twink have a sister? With similar poses?
I don't like his face.
The hell, yo? I'm not a bear, though I've got a beard. An "otter" is apparently a skinny bear. Sweet JESUS, these *labels*! And now you've all gone and done dragged my brother into this. . .
@11--I was thanking Dan for the picture of Ryan. I thought this site had turned NSFW! Hysterical. Oh, and the bears Dan's referring to aren't famous, y'all. They're lovely Michiganders.
omgggg otter hahahaha
1)Thanks Brandon, (wink)
2)Manhunt and Craigslist are NOT populated exclusively by the paunchy and the pathetic. MILLIONS of people use these sites, so don't be judgemental. Not all of them are necessarily whores, either. Regular, nice guys, (and gals) of all types use these sites. Where would you rather people hook up: airport bathrooms and church socials?
3)"Sargon Bighorn"? Sounds like a cross-breeding between a Romulan and a cartoon rooster...
4)jeesh; the 'twink' is a minor film star...be respectful of his twinkhood.
@20:
What does being in shape have to do with age? I see young people who aren't in shape all the time. Youth doesn't automatically mean you're in shape. A guy I know is 49, but he's got a really nice body. He's thin, but he's also got lots of muscle because he's been going to the gym since he was 17.
@7 - I'm with you. =) I like both of them.
this progressively hairier & hairier straight man thanks you gays for the term "otter".
what's an animal halfway between fat & a gym rat?
#40
Vince Vaughn
Maybe I'm bored. But yeah, body hair on men ... is so damn ... polarizing. Women either like body hair, or they don't. But the vast majority of them would rather you didn't shave it even if they don't like it.
Can't win I guess, even if you are built like an otter.
Funny ....
I just noticed the happy trail ... this guy will be a bear/otter/seal/gorilla in about 6-10 years ... even if he stays in shape!
Ah the justice Dan!
hmmmm...I smell a big, hairy rat...or maybe a skinny, mostly hairless, sex columnist type rat...
Tampon Hoghorn or whatever the fuck his name is, sounds a little too reactionary to be real.
I KNOW Savage goes on here incognito sometimes to stir the poo...and those rants against the fat, DO sound familiar...
Conspiracy theorists; go at it!
Whoever thinks men over 40 aren't hot --
Viggo Mortensen
Johnny Depp
Sean Penn
Robert Downey Jr.
Brad Pitt
Matt Dillon
Pierce Brosnan
Denzel Washington
Patrick Stewart
Russell Crowe
Hugh Grant
Liam Neeson
Antonio Banderas
Keanu Reeves
...and that super-sexy guy who's the new James Bond. Can't remember his name.
And that's only actors...
Oh -- and Dan Savage, of course!
you lost me at hugh grant.
That list is terrible.
Yes michael strangeways I was blaming you for proking that post but Ryan Phillipe always makes me want to punch him repeatedly in the face so I apologize if a little of that hostility spilled over onto you.
half that list is FUGLY...
have you SEEN a picture of Robert Downey Jr lately?
not cute.
and Sean Penn is very scrotal.
at least Liam Neeson is hung.
and you shockingly left off Clooney, who didn't used to be my cup of tea, but with a beard he's fucking HOT...
@45:
I think the name of the actor playing James Bond is Daniel Craig.
1)I hear you, Chi Type...Just the name, "Phillipe" makes me want to punch out a twink at manspray...and I think he and hayden 'yes, i helped ruin Star Wars' christensen might be blood brothers...
2)Daniel Craig...sigh...and schlurp!
Of course don't for one second think a 45 year old can compete with a 25 year old in the ageist arena of looks, they can't.
And thank the gods for that. Who'd want to make out with the kid, when the "dad" is SOOOO much hotter and more experienced, and much less likely to be ready to get dressed and bolt four minutes after you get them home?
Two words: Hugh Jackman
And I love bears, otters and twinks of all ages, but especially the Ds.I.L.F. at my gym. Rowrrr!
Dan is only allowed to get away with posting this ridiculous photo because he also posted the photo of Ben Cohen. Yummers.
But Ryan Phillipe doesn't have "pale skin". You'll have to post a more fitting example.
Yeah ... Dan, you seriously have to give Hugh Jackman some consideration ...
@31 and all those of the brainier-than-thou mind set. It happens EVERY DAM TIME. Someone suggests a gay man get into the gym and out-of-shape-gay-man whails about brains, character, blah blah blah. Well DAMMIT when are we gunna see those heavy set guys show those brains? Either have brains and let the world see them or get the hell out of my way when I want to show my God-like ripped abs and chest..... LOL
@58
Do brains equate to laziness? Seriously, anyone who is literate knows that exericising is healthy for you! promotes wellness! increased libido (for men AND women)! awareness, confidence. Anyone who believes that looks DOESN'T at least make you more attractive is probobly lying, gay or straight. Because it does make you MORE attractive (if not completely attractive). Perhaps the people seeking "personality" are either lying to themselves and are going in for the easy kill by lowering their standards, don't have a lot of confidence, or the glamorous looks ... either way. Gay, straight, men, women, all like to look at pretty things to a certain degree AND "personality"
But ... what the hell do I know ... if I didn't take my "me time" and go to the gym, work out, swim some hard laps, give it my all physically in addition to what I have to give of myself mentality as a scientist ... I would go simply insane. I wouldn't be nearly as happy with myself.
I make the choice to live for myself ... and have it all!
Drag Queens, Leather Daddies and Bears- Oh My!
Why is it that fat old men always try to eroticize themselves with silly sexually provocative names like: Bear, Daddy, Wolf and the like? They're all a terms for "fat old guy with a hairy back" as far as I'm concerned. Getting old is not natural- that's why people die from it!
Did you ever hear of someone dying of young age?
LOL!
Michael @50:
Yes, George Clooney is good looking but I refuse to acknowledge it. He's too smarmy.
And I fully admit that I haven't seen Robert Downey Jr. since "Chaplin," but god, he was so tragically beautiful once...
Not all the others are perfect, but I thought I had someone for everyone there!
And Poe @48, where's your list of geriatrics? I'll bet Daniel Craig (thanks Anna) beats 'em all.
And Hugh Jackman? Give me a break!!! Boringboringboring.
Uh... it's Tuesday, Michael. I've been getting the paper out and writing a vignette and tossing stuff up on Slog. I have not had time to dip into comments for a little sockpuppetry. Seriously!
He looks like my ex girlfriend...but she had bigger tits.
@45 Actually Daniel Craig looks older than he is. He's only 39.
My on again off again 52 year old boyfriend is HOTTTTTT!!!!!!! And he's not a bear. (Thank the Lord!)
Ugh... seriously, I had a brain aneurysm reading 58-60. I hope they're fake, because otherwise this is living proof that God creates fags to limit reproduction.
Dan, do you actually read all these comments?
Johnny Depp is over 40?!??! I think I may have to kill myself now.
Why is it that fat old men always try to eroticize themselves with silly sexually provocative names like: Bear, Daddy, Wolf and the like?
Well, if you'd call 6' and 175 fat, or 40 old, then OK...and I've been Wolf for probably longer than you've been breathing.
Dan:
"Vignette"?
"Tossing stuff"?
Whatcha doing over there; making salad?
Yum!
But I AM relieved that you are NOT Radon Hornblower.
Well, not sure if we're the ones he's talking about, but we did spend some time with him and his family this summer and they were perfectly accepting and well behaved.
I think his partner was even a little bear-curious as he wanted to know about the bear weekend at the campground in the area and was even considering coming to check it out.
Anyway, hi from MI Dan!
Tom, Tod, and Anna.
