For example, one individual wrote that masculine gay men are able “not to arouse the assumption of ‘gayness’ from strangers,” and subsequently wrote that feminine gay men exhibit “characteristics that are easily noticed [as gay] by many people who do not know the person intimately.

However, most of the characteristics that are associated with masculinity and femininity are socially constructed.Those are the striking and potentially controversial findings of a study published in January in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology that may broaden appreciation of the unique stressors faced by gay and bisexual men.

And while there remains some truth to butch stereotypes — give us a plaid flannel shirt any day of the week — that once-static portrait falls apart under scrutiny and reflection. Of the positive themes identified, some masculine characteristics reportedly helped gay men’s relationships including being a provider for one another (12%), allowing them to understand each other’s style of communication better (4%), and respecting the need for personal and sexual autonomy (3%).Findings supported previous reports that perceptions of gender roles among gay men appear based on masculine and feminine stereotypes. Perhaps Grindr’s popularity is a sign we haven’t made as much social progress as we think for same-sex relationships. By refuting conventionally gendered aesthetics, butchness expands the possibilities for women of all sizes, races, ethnicities and abilities. The 23-year-old is afraid of rejection, and Grindr shields him from the pain of in-person turndowns.
