    M4M4BEAR = man for man for bear

    Bear in this context means a hairy man who is big

    While the X4X is common notation for roleplays and other sexual stuff with the first X being the seeker, seeking for(4) the second X, it can develop into a train like here where a man is looking for an other man and a bear(man)

    Edit: Typo

      Just semantically, I’d expect m4m4bear to be a man seeking a man who is seeking a big hairy man.

      Like Bob wants to find a big hairy man, but doesn’t want to go it alone, and so wants another man as a partner in the persuit.

      I just realized this is why my friends think I have the tism.

      Uh. Your brain must be wired in a specific way to read that like this and then think it was meant that way.

        Its read phonetically, so M (four/for) M and so on, the only thing you learn is what the specific gender symbols mean (i.e. M = man).

        But isn’t it like, how everyone reads? Hence why there are shortcuts like u for you, ur for your, and such?
