Rugged gay meaning
Recently when speaking to a close ally of mine, I referred to her cat as creature completely ‘Poz/Wired/Masc’, on account of this cat’s feline batshit-crazy antics.Cue the lost look on my friends face, whose questions of her not being chilly anymore due to her crossing the Great Over Thirty Barrier meant I had to elaborate a few things to her. Or more likely illuminate her to the tight little corner of Gay Terminology that comes naturally [pun intended im sure] to all of us Gays, whether we are Neg, Bear Bttm Top Vers et al; yet can be somewhat confusing and undecipherable for our sad hetero friends to follow.
Just a quick disclaimer. Any views expressed here in this post are mine and mine alone. Now that’s over with, lets convey on, shall we?
In short, I decided to create this much, much MUCH abridged
Guide to Lgbtq+ Slang For Unbent People.
Background on Gay Terminology.
Gay lexicon and slang has been something that has been around for as distant as there possess been gays and lesbians. I’m sure in Ancient Rome there were words to describe a hot Pompeiian’s package, or in the Middle Ages a phrase or word that best described a hirsute bearded rugged Saxon fel
A super attractive, confident, hard-core, badass person. Often capable of weathering extreme climate conditions and physical exertion. Rugged people can be create shopping at REI, participating in outdoor team sports, hiking or camping, and might also own qualities associated with earth-muffins. Rugged people may or may not be swoll.
"That girl is so rugged, she just got back from a two-week, minimalist, back-packing trip. I wouldn't want to compete with her in a ultimate frisbeecompetition, she'd totally kick my ass".

Are you same-sex attracted ?
Clarification sought by an observer of outwardly homosexual behaviour exhibited by tatooed British expatriate male living in Singapore, working in a male dominated industry. Occurs in "episodes" typically perpetrated in bars and clubs where attraction to (and of) transvestites is evident. Followed by periods of introspection and self examination leading to "closet" activities that are dangerous if they occur in mens changing rooms. Inner rage an conflict leads to facial distortion resembling grotesque elfin crea
Types
Some gay men use types to describe, identify and communicate themselves. Who hasn't heard someone say “he’s my type" or been asked if a guy is yours? There is always some disagreement around the terms we utilize and whether we should use them at all.
Therefore, you should be sensitive if applying a type to someone, bearing in mind some gay men reject them altogether as narrow, superficial, and demeaning. Equally, some use types affectionately and as a convenient shorthand.
It's a bit of a bear pit (no pun intended), but here's our take on types, though you are perfectly entitled to cast them out and be your own gay, your own homo, queer, etc.
Physical types and personal characteristics
Some guys are primarily attracted to physical types of gay men (eg: bears, twinks, and muscle guys) while some find characteristics in men most attractive (eg: warmth, intelligence, and humour). Others mix and match and understanding these distinctions is important.
For example, the type(s) of men we find attractive sexually may not necessarily be the qualities we are looking for to sustain a relationship. Trouble is, we can get so caught up in a type we can miss sight that not far ben
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 same-sex attracted tribe is not a community of still-surviving, nomadic queer men. A tribe is, in proof, 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 assist 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 tribes according to their body type; this isn’t Hogwarts. He also finds it rigid to relate to any one
