In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the guys talk about the diversity of the bear community. In its over 30 years of existence, the guys give their opinions how much or how little it has changed in terms of inclusion, diversity, body positivity and more. Is this a trend heading towards inclusivity or a sign of the end of bear times?
Woofy – I have a habit of when I get a compliment I have a compulsive need to throw one back, even if I’m not interested. Something I need to work on, to just accept the compliment with a thanks.
Social Media Comment:
To Jeff: RE: COL472: bostonareabear on Bear411: “Are you gonna talk or are you gonna gloss your lips?” Funniest line of the last COL podcast.

In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the cubs want to tell you that you are awesome! The guys talk about being complimentary: both giving and taking … compliments. Is this still an acceptable practice and what does it entail? Are you being flirtatious or just respectful? The cubs give all the praise and admiration on this appreciative topic.
In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the guys talk about the concept of body positivity. With recent developments such as the Arrested Movement photography series and the topic of male body image issues, being body positive is definitely up for current discussion and debate. But, what is it and what does it look like? Listen in as the cubs give their thoughts and feelings on this somewhat new notion. Are you body beautiful?
Re: COL470: The Porn Factor – Chris Green: Really enjoyed this one! I grew up in the same era, having the internet (dialup, newsgroups, bbs sites) around high school. No one mentioned another of the old-school methods of discovering porn; squinting at the blurred images on scrambled, adult TV channels!

Re: COL470: The Porn Factor: Woofy – remember back in boarding school, boys would put pictures of naked women on their walls and it was super cool. I did it with big hairy men and suddenly no one visited my room. What is this injustice.

Re: COL444 LTAS: Bottom Friendly Food. Hey guys, I know this is not the usual happy type of email you’d normally get, but I wanted to say a big Thank You. I had a 2 hour drive on Monday from Louisville to Cincinnati as my Dad’s Time was running out, and I listened to the podcast on the way up. You guys kept me entertained and kept me from thinking of the bad stuff ahead. I guess you never really know how you touch people’s lives…this was one that helped me when I needed it. Thanks. James Butterfield
