where did these names come from? Why do they exist? i honestly think its kind of silly. Not sure what category id fall into but really.. why dont straight guys have names for themselves?

LaurenceJames saidas a society we feel compelled to categorize and label people and groups. Gays are even more so compelled to do this because of our desire to have an identity within the gay community.

That makes absolutely no sense, you're basically saying that people in a smaller group have a bigger desire for labels than the people in the larger group do. The math doesn't add up.
Dahas saidAs for the labels, don't know really. Though I remember watching a documentary on bears and one of the guys interviewed seemed almost relieved to have a label for what he was into. Another was talking about having a feeling of comradery because of the label.I used to know and hang out with some of these guys: http://www.tampabaybears.com/

Not really sure about pulling math into it but I remember a sociological theory for it. Basically the theory was that people within minority (including but not limited to racial) subgroups cling to characteristics in order to establish themselves in a hierarchical standing thus limiting the blow of being part of a minority. Sort of like saying "I may be this but at least I'm not that."

I'm glad you understood what I was talking about.
sevencloudpeople want to feel like they belong somewhere. hence a label for everything, and for everything a label. weak stuff really..
mkubwathe same is true of all 'labels,' so i don't understand the hate on for them. i call them words, and the language would be pretty difficult without them. could you picture trying to talk about gay ppl without being able to use the 'label': gay?
dustin_K_tx saidI blame this:
sevencloudlabels are also used on items such as tampons and diapers which people don't like being equated to.
sevencloudSo yes, a bear's a bear, a cub's a cub, and they may be endearing to some and whimsically thematic to others but some people don't like them and some people don't feel like they are them or even better people should get them out of their heads because they lead to ignorance.
sevencloudDon't get me wrong I LOVE objectifying people but sadly the dark side of labels is that some people don't want to be associated with them.
sevencloudI like to call straight guys "mistake" and then assign a number afterward.
mnboy saidPersonally, I find being called a twink to be extremely insulting.
The last douche that called me that got head butted.

GBRelentless saidI particularly LOATHE the term and would beat someone senseless if they "woof", "Bark", "Howl" or whatever, towards me.
