You hit the nail on the head; Lia. It is socially acceptable in the gay community to group others based on physical features. Here is the basic breakdown:
Twinks: The young cuties. Usually 16-25 before your more masculine adult features fill in. Men of certain genetics can be twinks all the way into their thirties.
Twinks are expected to be virtually hairless, lean, and easy. They often wear skinny jeans.
Bears: Big hairy guys. You classify as a bear around age 30 with some extra weight. Subgrouos are Otters/skinny hairy guys, Cubs/big hairy young guys, Pandas/asian bears.
Daddies: Over 40 and interested in Twinks. Expected to be financially supportive andexperienced.
Twunks: These are your young guys who play sports and have killer bodies. They are expected to make money, do porn/model, become bartenders, and get invited to places as eye candy. They are valued as decoration.
Mom: This is your older gay man who babies everyone and is available for advice, but is expected to die alone.
Age 60 is considered gay death. 50 if your genese arent great.
Basically, whether you like it or not, you are classified.
