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. 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.The hair on his chest, or his positive attitude to life?.A pencil thin physique, or the way he smiles?.A guy’s age, or the way he fits a T-shirt?.The solution involves open-mindedness, flexibility, and/ or compromise.
