In LGBTQ+ culture, bears are a subgroup of gay men typically characterized by a larger, more rugged, or masculine appearance, often with body hair and facial hair. The bear community values traits like body positivity, masculinity, and camaraderie, welcoming men of various body types, though traditionally the term refers to stockier or more robust builds.
There are also different subcategories within the bear community, such as:
- Cubs: Younger or smaller bears, often seen as cute and playful.
- Otters: Slimmer but still hairy men.
- Chubs: Larger-bodied men who may not fit the traditional bear mold.
- Woofs, polar bears, muscle bears, and more: Each with distinct traits and vibes.
The bear community is known for its emphasis on acceptance and creating a space where men who may not fit mainstream beauty standards can feel confident and desirable. Bear events and gatherings, like Bear Week in Provincetown or Southern Decadence in New Orleans, are a popular social hubs.
