Gay tribe
LGBT+
It seems to me that a lot of people don’t know much about the gay tribes, at least on this app. I want to be able to help and provide some insight!
First Off: What Are Gay Tribes?
The gay tribes are terms that are used by gay and bisexual men, in gay communities. They are key words meant to describe different men’s body types, and helps for men to identify the kinds of men they enjoy to be around visually. These are casual terms, not every gay or bisexual guy uses them, and they’re dominantly for fun.
What Are The Gay Tribes?
(In no particular order)
1) Bears
Bears are the picture of masculinity in men. The body type they have is being hairy and huge, either through muscle or fat.
A younger version is called a Cub.
2) Otters
Otters are similar to bears in that they are also hairy. However, they are usually more slender, and often more toned than a bear.
3) Jock
The jock type are men who are extremely fit, and are very into physical health.
4) Show Queen
This is the drag queen, a popular group in the gay men’s collective. Drag, music, show, and performance
&#;A Boy&#;s Tribe&#; &#; A Service-Users&#; Perspective
I came across the Gay Project three years after I moved to Cork. Moving to Cork was my first plunge into independent senior life in a recent city after the completion of my studies. What the gay project offered me was what I’d been looking for in those prior three years. I looked for it on meetup groups, social media platforms, online internet dating apps, in the clubs and even on dates. Needless to say, I didn’t find it in any of those places but I’m not the quitting type! I start Gay Project on a little-known app called Facebook. I did some background research into the community and was pleased with the findings.
Once the tall of finally finding he kind of platform I’d been searching for settled a little,then the apprehension kicked in. Despite what the picture portrayed online, there’s no telling what it’s like to coming into an established fold, not knowing exactly what the atmosphere or personalities will be like. I made that first step because … nothing ventured, nothing gained.

The Guysexual’s Guide To Gay Tribes And What They Mean
Kartik is having an existential crisis.
What is it? The inevitability of death? The crushing loneliness of realising all humans inherently are and will die alone? The meaninglessness of his dead-end job? The purpose of life? I’ve clearly thought this through.
Kartik shrugs, it’s worse. He doesn’t know what his gay tribe is.
What is a gay tribe?
No, a queer tribe is not a collective of still-surviving, nomadic queer men. A tribe is, in evidence, a social grouping of same-sex attracted men based solely on their ~body type~ key physical characteristics. Also a feature of Grindr’s profile settings, tribes exist to aid you find men you are attracted to, based on the quantity of hair on their bodies, and muscle on their bulk.
You start off with some pretty self-explanatory stereotypes: Twinks, Femmes, Geeks, Jocks and Daddies. And then in descending order of size/hair (yes, hair) and kink, you’ve got Bears, Wolves, Cubs and Otters. Is this marginalising the gay community or moulding a human zoo?
Kartik thinks that gay men shouldn’t be sorted into t
