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.įor 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 lose sight that not far beneath the surface we are all simply men wanting to be loved, respected and held. The solution involves open-mindedness, flexibility, and/ or compromise. A guy’s age, or the way he fits a T-shirt?.A pencil thin physique, or the way he smiles?.The hair on his chest, or his positive attitude to life?.It could also be the size of his dick (though this is a whole new conversation).īottom line: types, preferences, and the laws of attraction are as varied as they are fickle, complex and seemingly contradictory.Types of gay men saturate the gay media and magazines, and if the name of a club night doesn't tell you what to expect, the promo pics will.
