WHAT IS A BEAR?




BEAR: by definition, a hairy man's man



The definitions vary tremendously but usually a bear is a man who does not care about the thin, smooth guys out there but is interested in accepting men for what they are - often with beard, moustache, and hairy chest and back with maybe a little weight on them


How do I fit? Find out by pressing here I have had a moustache for years and have had a goattee since November 2000. If you look closely, you will note the light-coloured hair on chest and back.


My personal preference is for men who act natural (like a man) and who have some hair although it need not be facial nor need it be a pelt. I also find some extra weight OK but if you are 50 or more pounds over weight for your height, I find that offensive.

In the pictures of me, you will not see much hair for I am fair in colour. Yet, it is there and can be rubbed and fondled to your heart's content and to my pleasure. To see my pictures click here.



Bears are often found in dens and in packs. Thus, they enjoy the company of other bears. Cuddling (note how Teddy Bears are enjoyed) is an activity to be exploited to its fullest.




There is an extremely good Bears Mailing List which I highly recommend and then some of us have a separate list for Bears who are married (or were when the list formed) through Yahoogroups (Married Bears Mailing List or mbml).




There is a bear code which I am going to try to use to explain to those who know about such things who I am. Mine would go something like:

B6f+wdg+ks-h+

.


This suggests that I do have a beard and a moustache; I have above average fur, a tummy, and I am a daddy who likes to be touched most of the time. I am open minded and might choose SOME things on the kink menu and I prefer formal relationships, being relationship-oriented.


There are a number of resources for bears on the net.



One great event in my life was the first bear run I attended in San Francisco in February 2001. Not only did my eyes bug out at the sights but I got to attend my first Bear Hug (a naked party held privately during the bear run. I thoroughly enjoyed my first visit to San Francisco - James and Joe made it better than it might have been otherwise. A return to San Francisco in 2002 the weekend of the Bear Run (IBR) brought some other new experiences including joining the bears at Blow Buddies (don't ask). Joe and I managed to hook up again and I got to attend another Bear Hug. In June 2003 when I was in San Francisco for a conference, I spent more time with Joe - he is a wonderful bear and he shares some of my enthusiasms.
