Twinks

[Jake]

I took the test and was called a frackin Muscle Cub. Then I subtracted the approx weight of sex organs and added an inch to my waist and was called a Gym Bunny!!!! Then I I had to add 30 lbs to my current weight to make it up to get promoted to a danged Gym Rat!!!!!

IRL if someone called me any of those names I'd be in a bad mood all day.

Hahahaha you and me both. Well that site is really just for entertainment, because honestly to be a twink it's all a matter of age and weight according to that site. I actually went back and put all the very same weight and height but changed my age and there I was a twunk.

I'm 5'8
135 pounds
28 waist
But I set my age to be 22 years old which to be exact I haven't changed much through the years, I'm still same height, same weight and same waist but the age changed and well that site really is age related. Alex was called a Gym Bunny with 6 feet tall, 150 pounds, 30 waist at 28 years old.

Honestly i didnt know of this word until a year ago and im sure i was a twink and maybe some guys will think i am now, online ive seen some guys who call themselves twinks just because they are that age but dont look really cute or small or anything, i think its more than your age and they will find that out…… good.

This shows what I have problems with

Gym Rat

I haven't been to a gym in over a month. I don't consider myself more than just well toned and lean. My #1 exercise is running. #2 is NordicTrack. I'm just shy of being 6'6" weigh 185 with a 33 waist.... There's nothing Cubbish, Bunnyish or Rattish about me.

Have I mentioned lately how much I hate labels?

hahahahhahahah!

I can't believe I watched the entire video! it wasn't so gross as it was funny! I am still laughing as I type! I I used to come across these kind of gay stereotypes maybe once or twice in High School and my college years! do they still exist, because I thought they were extinct!? lol. Well now that I think about it, they seem to be alive and well in the cyberspace world, like on RJ, there they reign supreme!!

Like Jake, I consider myself one of the warmest and nice guy I know! I love and enjoy giving people genuine compliments, as I tend to see the good in everyone! I have never turn away from anyone who say hi, or have eye contact with me! it doesn't hurt to be nice. Most people don't have any idea what their smile or act of kindness can do to even the meanest of people!

I took that "test" that Jake posted and I got "twink". Whatever.

I think there are going to be rotten apples in every age or "category" group, be they straight, gay or, bisexual. Labels are just a matter of convenience but don't really tell us very much about the person. When I meet people, I like to associate with them as individuals and don't let preconceptions affect my perceptions of them.

I get hit on by various groups but I don't act like I'm hot shit, nor do I think I am. I want to get to know you, not your outer shell. You could conventionally be the "hottest" guy or girl in the world, but you turn very ugly to me if you're pretentious or arrogant. My one weakness is that I dislike turning people down if I'm not into them. That doesn't mean I am stringing them along, it just means I don't want to hurt their feelings, and I would end up humoring them a while before I lay down the hammer. I have gotten better at it.

The thing with me is, I don't care how old you are or what you look like...if you are a good person with a good heart, I will be interested in knowing more about you and becoming friends. I may not be attracted to you romantically or sexually, but I am always open to becoming friends if you are a good soul. I couldn't care less what you look like on the outside.

Where did Jake post the test? I didn't see it?

Here ya go!

Now go ahead and take the test

According to the test I am a Gym rat hahaha - fact is I HATE GYM lol

[TwisttheLeaf]

When you were younger and you came out of the closet did you think you were the shit? That you were the best person in the world and that the world revolved around you? I mean why do kids these days act that way or why do they act that way in general.

I've been out of the closet my entire life and have never once acted as you describe.

That said? When I was single, I knew my strengths and I knew (in a general sort of way) who I was appealing to, and who was appealing to me. I was never really interested in guys my own age, and had a good selection of older guys to choose from whenever I was in the mood. Did I think -every- older guy would like me? Hell no. But I knew they were out there and how to get what I wanted at the time.

I think those that act the way that you're referring to? It's a maturity issue. I've met men of all ages who act as you describe. Those who take narcissism to a impressively nauseating level. Of those I've known personally? Every single one of them had some pretty -serious- self esteem issues. Significant, sometimes crippling self esteem issues. And that annoying shit? It was their facade of bravado.

Meh I have been to a Gym about twice in my life and I hated it so much I never returned, I did martial arts for many years and taught it too, I'm a level 10 in Shaolin Kung Fu, which means I passed all the 5 temples and 5 animal levels, my build is a martial art build and I never once wanted to become a Bull (muscle freak) I don't find that attractive at all. While a Gym nut will be proud at pumping 250 pounds 10 times for a set of three, I'll take 100 pounds and run 400 meter track 5 times with it. I go for endurance, not sculpture. That's a bit why I laugh so much when I receive the result because GYM and I is like Water and Fire, one extinct the other. The only gym I'd go to and I did for a few years when I was a teen, it was Gymnastic - I was the lord of the rings (lol), king of reversed flip-flop I was able to slowly slide down to split and stand back up by pushing my legs up.

Now with diabetes I have to watch myself as to not to do too much physical activity or my sugar level will drop considerably and I'd end up eating sugar way to much to uplift the level which will cause high blood sugar, so either ways I'm fucked LOL. Yet I don't gain weight and don't lose much either. I still teach martial art, but I'm not getting much involved in combat as I used to.

You are exactly right Twist because it is indeed a maturity issue. The depiction shown in the video (yes, it's an act) but yes, I have seen guys who have been acting this way. As I said I have been working a few years in the porn industry alongside with the so called twinks, I do know some well known porn stars who have been known to be that bitchy - anyone have ever seen Pierre Fitch's video where he ditch people of a certain age, yet he doesn't realize that in most websites or movies he featured in, those who make those sites survive are certainly not the one he craves for, but the one he hate so much. He's one example out of many who seems to believe that he is the "shit." Honestly, I do not find him cute or attractive in the slightest way and that's not jealousy he just doesn't attract me, one for his attitude and two he doesn't have the type of body I like. Same goes for the infamous Brent Corrigan for the very same reasons, I do not find him attractive, while I know that so many will sell their mother to have a shot at him.

The example that we have from the video is two guys that have such a low self-esteem that the only way for them to feel better is to ditch other. They do not accomplish much themselves, but sure, they'll put down someone else's achievement. And this is not just a gay thing or a twink's thing. It's everywhere in every culture. But unfortunately, it seems that's it's more apparent in the gay world. Which in a way can be explained by the fact that so many gay men have low self-esteem due to their environment and judgement of their peers and other levels of society.
