Types of gay bodies
Types
Some gay men use types to describe, identify and communicate themselves. Who hasn't heard someone declare “he’s my type" or been asked if a guy is yours? There is always some disagreement around the terms we use 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 slender, 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 toss them out and be your own gay, your own homo, queer, etc.

I ran into a client of mine on the tube recently. She was surprised to see me in London, of all places. Normally, I see her in New York.

She was with a &#;pocket gay&#; who, after first trying to sit on my lap without my consent, sized up my income by assessing my coat as an “expensive” piece of clothing and volunteered himself to accompany me on a meeting. He never even asked my name.
I told him to slow it down. I let him realize that I have no problem finding dates and I don’t need any volunteers. Not only had he been presumptuous, but he hadn’t even given me a chance to express any interest in him, if I’d had any.
