Naw... once Nick Carter stood me up, I decided not to go for those flaky musician types.

I was gonna suggest he's too old for ya, anyway. The bloom is off the rose, as it were. ;-)

Outside of Rosie O'Donnell, I can not fathom a more insincere, stomach churning, phonier interviewer than Barbara Walters! With these two, the interview is all about "Gee, aren't I clever?!". To quote the essential Zappa valley girl "Gag me with a spoon!". I feel that Jason Timberlake's personal life, just like anyone else's, is just that - personal! I don't know why the gay world is so big on LABELS, whether they apply to clothing or people. I find all types of men attractive and after having been with men of all types find that categorizing a man into a so-called "label", based solely on physical type is at best a moot point. Some of the most masculine men I have known, both in and out of bed, are what the gay world stereotypes as a "twink". The fact that a man is young, slim, and smooth with a "boyishly" handsome face does not automatically make him gay and if we are lucky enough to have him be gay does not automatically "label" him as a bottom boy! Just my two cents worth (actually one cent given the current economy).

In the BIG picture, I agree with you, VAHawk, that labels are constricting and aren't always productive. But for a bunch of guys getting together on a message board dedicated to hiring boys that attract them sexually, doesn't it make sense that there be labels to describe physical type?

Chill out, dude. Labels aren't new and they're not necessarily destructive. They're CERTAINLY not restricted to the gay world. They are used to facilitate communication.

 

In the worlds of architecture and software design, the concept of design patterns is nothing more than what you call "labels". When you meet with an architect and tell him you want a door on the west wall, he won't know whether you mean a traditional door on hinges, a pocket door, french doors, an archway, the door from a vault, or some other kind of door, but he has a clear idea that you want egress into the next room. You have appropriately identified the design pattern -- err -- label.

 

Labels ARE sometimes used as pejoratives, as all of us fags know. But they can also be used as a term of endearment. Some of us are, in fact, quite fond of hunting the elusive twink.

 

As for JUSTIN Timberlake, he's been fodder for the gossip columnists forever. It has nothing to do with being a twink. And being a twink has nothing whatsoever to do with being butch. If he holds his own damn ankles in the air, he's butch. :+

[VaHawk]

No problem, although, I do not consider myself as a hothead in need of a "chill". I respect your opinion and honor your right to express it. I personally find labels to be offensive when applied to human beings, whether used by gays, straights, bisexuals or anyone else. The fact that labels have always been around does not legitimize either their current usage or entitle them to a continued future existence. When you use labels, you generalize people into categories, based on vague, broad parameters and fail to recognize that no two people are exactly the same. Every person is an individual with qualities unique only to them and as such, can not be replaced when gone, even if their replacement is a clone. The fact that you have the audacity to compare human beings to some general specification of a door in a wall that can be systematically programmed speaks volumes as to your personal character. Perhaps it is time that you stop viewing the world thru a "black box" and take a good long look around. Justin Timberlake applies to this discussion only in the fact that the original thread of this discussion labeled him as a "gay twink" based solely on his physical attributes.

1. I see no reason to believe that Justin Timberlake is gay. A lot of times rumors like this get started because gay men want it to be true because the guy is hot. Since I don't even think Justin Timberlake is cute, I don't feel the need to fan those flames. To each his own.

 

2. When I was Justin's age, I might have posted a rant about how "awful" labels are and how unnecessary they are. That was 20 years ago. Now I see labels as useful, though I still acknowledge (and embrace) individuality and still hate the use of pejorative labels (such as "no fats or fems").

 

3. I'm more likely now to post a rant about how awful getting older is, having just "celebrated" another birthday.

I think deej and others are capable of using labels in a general sense for the purposes of a discussion without losing sight of the fact that we're all individuals and apt to deviate from the norms of whatever category we fall into. In other words, one can use labels, and they can be helpful to one's understanding, as long as one doesn't take them too seriously or use them to pigeonhole people. You, for instance, used the labels "gay" and "bisexual" and I didn't take it to mean that all the people those labels apply to are exactly alike.

Well, physical attributes are pretty much what make for a twink's twinkiness. And yes, Chuck humorously implied that our boy Justin is gay. But I don't know that it's because he deeply believes or cares about Justin's sexual orientation. (Idle fantasies about celebrities are usually just that.)

 

To me, Chuck's just pointing out the obvious: that Justin Timberlake, as a media-generated pop star -- regardless of his actual orientation -- could scarcely have been better designed to appeal to a large swath of the gay male pop audience. It's been observed before that gay men and teenage girls together make up a kind of demographic axis whose tastes drive much of today's popular music. The theory goes that some teenage girls find pretty "gay-looking" men less threatening as sex objects because they represent the allure of sexuality without the threat. It's a sociological trend that might not have been noticed if everyone was rigid about never using labels.

 

As for the bit about deej's "personal character," if you look at his overall posting history, I don't think he's all about dehumanizing people. For one thing, he frequently advocates treating escorts with dignity and respect, and I for one have always appreciated that (which is not the same thing as saying that he and I have the same take on every situation).

The fact that you may not consider yourself in need of a chill doesn't mean you don't need one. You're over-reacting.

 

>The fact that you have the audacity

You are a newbie here, at least in posting. You obviously have no idea of deej's character, or you wouldn't have made such a remark. deej was using a simple illustration that evidently wasn't simple enough for you to understand. It's a little device called a metaphor, and it aptly explains his point that labels can be useful and not necessarily pejorative.

[Chuck50]

I never said he was gay. Was I wishing maybe but just commenting about how hot he is and also how talented. HUGS Chuck

[nate_sf]

The guy's press agent must be in overdrive. All of a sudden Justin Timberlake is everywhere! Bless his heart.

 

As for his sexuality, I only suggest checking out the clip of him performing on "Starsearch" when he was a kid. After seeing that clip, I'm convinced he's on our team, regardless of what label that may bear.

Twink, Gay, Top, Bottom whatever you want to call it.. Justin is a hottie!! Whoa!!
