In the gay community, people are often categorized based on their appearance and style.
Among my friends, I often see three main types: the "bangs" type, the "short-haired" type, and the "muscled" type.
The "bangs" type has a look similar to Korean idols, with distinctive bangs.
Many of them are slim and always on a diet.
The "short-haired" type is characterized by very short to short hair, often paired with a white T-shirt and shorts.
The "muscled" type values their physique and makes training a daily routine.
However, this categorization seems to be unique to Japan.
The global classification? That’s a topic for another time.
