Maine Bear Bear Code --Explained    official bear code


B4 Beard. Keep it short and tidy but full enough to rustle around in. Ocassionally cut back to a goatee but get tired of shaving pretty quick.

t+ Tallness. At 6-foot-4-inches am taller than average and can see over the crowd. Have 35" inseam.

g Grope. Love to touch and be touched. Am known for spontaneously giving shoulder rubs at parties, in bars, etc., to other grope-inclined friends.

m Muscle. Have enough to look mostly OK on the beach (at least I hope so). Prefer to think my body is functional rather than showy; meaning, I can bike 50 miles and be OK the next day, or run 5 miles, etc. I know lots of guys who can't but look like they should be able to.

e Endowment. Um... you'll just have to find out for yourself whether I'm fibbin.'

r Rugged. I suppose; I do like outdoors activites more than most gay men I know. Backpacking is my favorite, but also like canoeing, biking, hiking.


Favorite BEAR issue: BEAR #10 featuring Jim Donahue. That chest, those eyes, that grin, those low hangers; but is that really him in escort ads in San Francisco newspapers?! Donahue is also featured on the cover of The Bear Cult book of photos by Chris Nelson.


ALSO -- not included in my usual code list, but in case of any inquiring minds here are a few other bear code designations that apply:

f- Fur. Below average fur, sigh, but still enough to enjoy.

(none) Weight. Evenly proportioned for my height. Usually have a 32 or 33" waist.

(none) Cub. Vaguely cubbish, but not very much.

k Kink. Have vanilla tendencies but like to try new things and am open to exploring in the right situation.

s Sex. Enjoy messing around, but would prefer to be in a "s--" monogamous relationship. Am domestic at heart.
