You know you could make an entire episode on the japanese gay beard thing because it is fascinating to me, that this is almost a gay stereotype. I think it's so hot lol.

I'm in 50s now, and I feel like there's more diversity now than when I was younger. In the 1980s, many gay men in Japan had similar hairstyles, clothes, and were tanned, but now many people express themselves in a variety of ways. I think men's tastes are also becoming more diver…

Gay men have always loved the hyper masculine look. In 70s San Francisco the look was called the “Castro Clone” with mustaches, huge muscles, tank tops short shorts and feathered hair. Everyone looked like clones of each other, and they wanted to, because that was the popular loo…

うちの国は、明治以降ストレート男性の持つ女性の理想像はだいぶ西洋よりになってきたけど。ゲイの持つ男性の理想像に関しては戦国時代から変わってない気がする。どちらかというと古臭い男の方がモテる気がする

3:01 Andrew, I saw your face light up as soon as Meng mentioned the term pig. It didn't seem like we were thinking about the Chinese definition. I have questions. 😏

There's a lot of fun with a big d-k bottom. As a verse I would get bored with just one role though, so a big d-k verse is even better

I think something that you may have overlooked is that the younger you are the more you care about trends and fashion and looking a certain way to fit into your crowd and seem more attractive for the type of guy you are wanting. As you get older you realize there is more to a ma…

As an Indian, the hostility towards femme presenting people is real (I hate it). The running joke is how people demand that femme persons should not approach them.

From a Western viewpoint, in Japan, looking straight is gay and looking gay is straight.

I'm a GWM American. If I were living in Japan I'd be attracted to what I'm attracted to everywhere. Short, slender, smooth and NOT hung.

I think the example used for the "country guy" was way hotter than some of the "hot" guys. Sadly, some gay men/queer people in the west, work very hard to fit into their own "box" and I find they can look disingenuous and don't seem happy.

@CitypopWishie

Older men with a hard exterior and soft interior are hot. On the flip side, younger men that are passionate, energetic, and playful are attractive too. On a scale of unkempt to groomed, even personality-wise my preference falls in the middle. I like the push and pull.

I think a sort of accurate depiction of the whole idea of straight masculinity vs gay masculinity could be the way gay, or at least queer, men are represented in BL manga (usually made by straight women, often showcasing "feminine", more stylish, men) vs Bara manga (usually made …

I think the word he was looking for at 12:30 is rugged rather than masculine. That’s when they get into imo-ppoi which I think better describes that idea of being rugged or “unrefined” (I dont like the word unrefined, personally. I think it’s shady). It’s sort of like that mounta…

Lastly, continuing the theme of image... what's up with Japanese businessmen wearing tight fitting suits? I think they look very hot and visually stimulating. Do either of you have thoughts and/or wear such suits in your work lives?

This is why I feel more at home with Japanese gay bars. I like my hair short and not into being trendy. Gays in the Philippines are more about being fashionable.
