    Does the term "Bear" sell more than the term "Daddy"?

    I have a daddy site thats all furry rugged daddies, and I could easily switch the name to bear instead if it sells better.
    Anyone have experience with this? If one sells more than the other?

    For me Bear = Harry/Fat guys and Daddy is manly just guys over 40. Now you can have Bear Daddy’s if you want but both are different things. Not sure what word would sell best but if you have Bears I would use that word some place

    I prefer the term chubby over fat. But that's just me. If one can't make up thier mind between Bear and Daddy I would suggest saying Daddy Bears or Bear Daddy's. That's just another option. :playboy:

    I have a daddy site and so far the sales are trickling in, but was just wondering if the word bear will be a stronger trigger to buy more, or if theres no difference.

    Just try it I guess you do not have much to lose, but I would change more about the site than just that.

    I like the term "daddy" and that is the style of site that I do. But I think "bear" is a bigger market. "Hairy" is also a good term to use to describe a non-heavy bear.

    But having said that, I once was #1 in google for "hairy daddy" and I got just a small amount of traffic from that ranking. Go figure.

    bear

    Instead of asking "Who's your baby's daddy..." I can ask "Who's your bear's daddy". Sounds more fun on Judge Judy.

    But...I've thought they where two genres.

    Bear - Furry guy (sometimes "chubby" sometimes great shape but with lots of hair/fur). Bears can have otters....(one of my favorite) or cubs.

    Daddy - Older guy (that is about 30 in San Diego or 40+ anywhere else) that has a "boy".

    But they are different to my mind.

    Me??
    Not hairy enough to be a bear...and to "froggle" to be a Daddy. So my Daddy of 7 years is a few years younger them me.

    I don't know, AVN once called me "a daddy's daddy" which I kind of thought sounded like I was a grandpa! or something older for Christ's sake!

    The term "bears" is now loosely applied to "chubs" and "hairy" guys

    Daddy's applies to guys like me, older (over the standard porn age of 23) to grandpa age (way over)

    Daddy bears - a heavy set, hairy older guy

    Pooh Bears - a heavy set hairy guy into (u know what)

    and

    everything else in between

    I still prefer the term "MEN" "Hairy MEN" etc.

    we get a lot of MEN searches

    ok so now I am really confused...

    When I first came out...I didn't know anything about anything. I hung out with queens and I was thinner than I am now. (Much Tinnner) :hmmph: And of course this was back in Arkansas. Very behind the times. I did drag and even entered a few pagents. All that work was exhusting.

    I moved back to California about 4 or 5 years after I came out and all I knew was that little gay life I had. Boy was I mislead. I didn't know about twinks, daddy's, bears, chubs, wolfs, cubs or otters. We were just gay and clueless.

    I didn't fit in. I gained weight and gay men hated me. I went to clubs and gay bars and cruised Santa Monica Blvd. I felt so alone. Then I ment this guy who introduced me to what they call a bear bar. OMG!! I had never seen such a thing. I fit in so well. More than well.

    I ended up going to a Mr. SoCal Bear contest with a friend, just to watch and see what it was all about. There was a break and everyone went out for a smoke. I stood there checking everyone out and then all of a sudden this group of bears, 6 or 7 of them came to me and surrounded me. Feeling me up, hands up my shirt down my pants and they told me that Red Headed Bears are a rare and hot item.

    I asked around later what were the definitions of all the lables and this is what I found out.

    Daddy, just like DeAngelo described. Older, dominate hairy men.
    Bears, heavy, hairy and a top
    Cubs, heavy, hairy and a bottom

    The rest confuse me. But that's what I was told and please anyone correct me if I am wrong.

    and "Bear Bud Allen"

    Daddy seem's to always "imply", IMHO that there's some "son's" around "doing" that Dad.
    :goseek:

    Yes, absolutely...

    and in my next example... we have a classic "older, hairy bear, daddy, Master type" with his "slave boy" (not cub because he's not hairy) - locked in an embrace ... how romantic ...

    I just love shootin' this shit!
