Bear Pride


Bear: A larger and hairier man who projects an image of rugged masculinity. This term is usually used by men who love other men (gay, bi, etc).
To describe hairy men of other builds there are other terms such as; Otter (slim), Cub (young Bear on the way), or Wolf (hairy, medium build). The word Manatee describes a big, hairless man, basically a bear without hair.
