Issue in bear community between Muscle bears and overweight bears

I was on Facebook for a little while and after making conversation with a few guys, I started thinking about the bears. When I was growing up I was the only one in the family who was becoming very hairy. I was always a heavy kid and was picked on as well.

I didn't know about the bear community that there other gay hairy men until I was like 26 years old even though I had fancied some of the big bear type guys. I had also known bears as being big husky and hairy with goatees and beards. It wasn't until like 2005 or something like that I started seeing muscle bears. You know, it just seems that the muscle bears are destorying the symbol of the bear image. I personally never saw the muscled type guys as part of the community and before you knew it, they were taking over the meaning of the bear name. The muscle bears are pretty much into themselves and they don't want to know you if you are overweight and not fit like they are. They feed on compliments and all that. They even turn the other way and let bigger bears down and not want to have associate with other bears. What's that all about? I think that the muscle bears are giving the meaning of bear community a bad name. If they are calling themselves muscle bears, shouldn't the bear community become as one rather than classing each other? C'mon now, give me a break.

Mickey Squires

Was just thinking about Mickey Squires and how so sexy he looks.  Some of these photos I never saw before.  I think he looks better now that he's older.

Joe Kelso in bicycle accident

Bless Joe Kelso. According to a John (which I think is his partner) used Joe's personal Facebook account letting friends know that Joe was involved in a solo bicycle incident Saturday morning. He sustained a concussion, broken cheek, lacerations to the chin and knees with mild road rash on his face moderate the length of his right arm.

Joe's biking buddy Jeff Akeley was with him and accompanied Joe to the hospital. Joe will stay at the hospital overnight to monitor the effects of the concussion.

Joe does not remember what happened, however, he had recognized John when he was awake. Joe realized that he is in a hospital and remembers what month and year it is. He sleeps most of the time but is woken up every hour to assess his progress.

That could be a worse part being in the hospital. I remember the time that I was laid up in bed in the hospital, the nurses came in every 15 to 30 minutes and kept me up all night.

JOhn thinks that he could probably be able to take Joe home this morning. Joe's family in Florida has been informed on what happened to him this weekend.

From the Doctor's orders for JOe's recovery from this concussion to keep the brain calm, Joe cannot watch TV, read, talk on the phone, text or use a computer. He is to rest in a dimly lit, quite room.

Dumbass on bearforest

This guy had contacted me and I had thanked him for viewing my profile and contacting me.  I never talked to this guy before and he is getting the impression that he was in our home.  As some of you know, that my partner and I don't have any friends here in Maine considering that these Maine people are very hard to become friends with as they project themselves as being standoffish.  Since we don't have friends here, I don't understand how this Johnny character could simply say that he was here in our apartment and insinuating that I was being rude, and I made a few things clear to him so he could understand this dialog.  

Okay lets say that he was here, there is nothing stopping him from taking a few steps to sit on the sofa.  I don't know about you guys, but I would sit down depending how long I feel that I was going to stay at someone's house.   

I don't appreciate him coming up to me and start stirring up shit that I have no clue what he is talking about.  Meanwhile, he tells my partner what he wants him to do to him.  Uh, hello?  Doesn't this guy read profiles? Both of my partner and I have "partnered" in our profiles.  How do I know this information what this Johnny character wants my partner to do to him?  Because me and my partner's computers are side to side from one another  in front of the television so we could be able to see each other's computer easily as well as watching the television.

This notice I have been seeing on bear sites a lot lately.  I do find it is interesting how the guys on bear websites such as bearforest, bear411, bearwww, and so on, would post this on particular Warning Privacy Notice as part of their profile. C'mon guys. Do you guys think that these guys who have this message in their profile doesn't take other bears photos for their own personal use and that means saving those photos onto their computer as well?  Give me a break.  Why place something in their profile when they know damn right they do it themselves?
