Comments on Re: Bearophobic? Moi?

Jesus H. Christ, the guy in this pic is MORE BORING than Ryan Phillippe. The exception has thus proven the rule: If you got have body hair, show it off, don't shave it off. Except from your back and shoulders. And maybe a bit of editing on the front side as well. Everything in moderation.

Bleah.

When someone shows me how to have sex with six-pack abs I'll work a little harder to get them.

The first dude in the cardio fitness that was up at least two weeks ago was hot as fuck. He was like 45, though.

Oh yeah, and when he gets tired of working out 3 hours a day it's not going to look pretty.

he's supposed to be a bear? i thought bears were burlier, thicker in the middle, and hairy....no? he looks like a pumped-up pinkberry to me.

How is it he has found the time to rid himself of almost all visible body hair yet somehow missed that Cro-Magnon brow of his?

My word. How'd you all get my photo?

sigh...obviously this is NOT a bear of any kind, (well, maybe a bear going through chemo). BUT, those pinkberries ARE pretty amazing...

they cast shadows!

gawd...how disgusting we're being...if we were straight men going on about a woman's pinkberries, we'd have been keelhauled a long time ago!

it's good to be gay...

we seldom get called on for being homosexist pigs...

three....two....one....

hey, I don't think ALL your taste in men is crappy...

terry's cute.

and besides, I'm not the only one. I remember Corianton being annoyed with you for not allowing the hirsute in one of the Strangercrombie speads one year.

Hell it's Dan's paper. If he wants to have only 25 yr olds in print I guess we all have to look at 25 yr olds. Dan, you're old enough to be his Dad, when does it morph from lust into Dirty old man?

charles gets all kinds of you-are-a-sexist-pig shit for posting a headshot of a hot ethiopian woman, yet this is the second thread of its kind today.

where are the feminists castigating the gay men for their homosexism?

come on, let's see some consistency.

Is this guy made out of some kind of gum?

@12 - at least he's balancing out Charles' obvious and boring taste in women. Can we have all the Stranger columnists post at least one shot of a hot someone?

Michigan Matt needs to stop posting and start sending me that cranberry recipe from our childhood that he was complaining about sending me via email, even though he had time to send a snarky message to SLOG. And I need to stop drinking manhattans.

@13

Dunno, Fnarf, but he sure could use a Bazooka. Preferably aimed at his "pinkberries" (which, by the way, is the most disgusting term for a part of the male anatomy I have heard in a long, long time).

I am a feminist. I am appalled by the male homosexist pigs today.

Tits! When am I gonna get tits?

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!

@18 - Don't cry Spoogie. Put on 70 pounds. Then you'll have some nice ones all to yourself...

Snark!

boring looking guy!

Bear, Twink, Daddy who cares what they call themselves as long as they have a big DICK (and by big I mean Huge and by Dick I mean COCK)!

The women in Mudede's posts are always delicious, never tacky. They prove that a woman can look both edible and classy at once.

This guy just looks vacant. More style, please.

And this isn't "homosexist," it's "anti-heterosexist," and therefore very, very good.

Looks like a really strong 16 month old baby. I'm all for gay guys! But most of you have shitty taste in men.
What a dork!

Doesn't the thought of some troll's grubby mitts all over his bod make ya sick? Meaning, if you don't look like this guy fagetaboutit

@19:
I thought this got covered in that previous column, but I guess not. Not ALL bears are fat and hairy old (by "old" I mean middle-aged) guys. All of them are hairy and old, but some of them are muscular, not fat. As for "Daddy" or "Wolf", I'm not sure what they mean, so I guess I can't really argue with you there! The only terms I know are twink, otter, hunk, and bear. Oh, and "chicken-hawk", but that doesn't really have anything to do with looks now, does it?

He's just not that appealing. Woo. A shirtless, near hairless, man... oh my. *eye roll*

I need some expression in his face, some reason for this pose... he looks like a piece of pound cake sitting by itself on a plate. Sure, if you like plain pound cake, you'll drool, but if you like your pound cake with chocolate on it, or if you prefer devil's food cake, it just won't do it for you.

Bah. I'm going back to my wine and campy movies. :)

Big and vacant. Not really grabbing me with this one.

Can you really be considered gay if the dudes you like are as hairless as women?

I was going to ask why he was named after frozen yoghurt, but never mind. Youth = hairless, maturity = hairiness
old age = not being able to occasionally appreciate something different becuase you're too busy drooling over the same old thing.

Dan, define or describe the guy you would be ashamed to admit you let into your hotel room after a night in the hotel bar.

Two things ... this guy obviously shaves/waxes (imposter bear!)

Two ... as far as keeping lean? He probably looks bulkier normally with SOME fat over his midsection, then dehydrate fat cells before the photo shoot usually to look cut.

Ask anyone who lifts it's hard to maintain mass AND stay lean. Not easy, and you have to alternate training.

Kind of like body builders, but not as much.

SHIT! Made it through high school without growing TITS!

The word, my dear, is "homosexualist."

I'm a feminist, or I thought so. I don't mind people posting pretty people all day long, of either sex. This guy needs to stop working out, though, because it makes his head look too small. Can a person be as superficial as I am and still be feminist? I thought I made the cut because I'm for equal rights. Is there more?

@23

"Classy" might be a hot erotic taboo for a socialist like Mudede.

What the hell is wrong with his nipples?

hmmmm...interesting comments, for the most part.

I will say, that the only interesting thing, at least for ME, about this guy, IS his 'pinkberries'...They ARE pretty incredible and the only thing my eyes are drawn to in this picture. I mean, THEY CAST SHADOWS, PEOPLE!!! AWESOME!!

The waxing, overly large muscles and vacant expression don't really do much for me, though.

I am surprised no one has castigated me/Dan for objectifying these models. I always do feel a little shitty about that...I'm sure this model is a very sweet young man and his mother is very proud of him.

and his pinkberries.

(And I'm sure that Ryan Philipe's mom is appalled that he was dumb enough to get dumped by a wife who is more talented than he is, and is able to get a MUCH bigger quote...)

Zzzzzzzzz...

I bet he is only 5'2''

Oh yeah another aside. Most taller men ... it takes YEARS for them to fill out any bit of muscle. And yes age does help. Most men over 6'4'' don't get substantial muscle at least until their mid 20's. And that's if they work for it.

I'm just saying is all ...

I guess ... I will give him an E for effort. Somehow, I think that is more attractive. It's more attractive to see people as GETTING fit as opposed to being fit. Anyone in the industry knows that fitness is a lifelong process and you never really every there ... you are always trying to challenge, trying to push yourself, trying to meet fitness goals whether or not they have attained them. And they evolve and change, are met or are failed just as everything you do in life. I don't necessarily like super model women, I like women with personality. But I do love to a take a girl to the gym, go for a run, and make do some hard swim laps. I like to think it pays of in the long run. I do think there is a "fit" body type for all sorts of body types. Kate Winslet will never look like Natilie Portman and that is fine.

Call me superficial at first, but I'm no slouch and I would like to maintain it and feel good about ourselves togethor instead laying some sort of blame game.

What's feminist (or antisuperficialist)supposed to do with that? I'm not trying set some sort of double standard? Am I?
