BBB - beard, glasses, belly

BBB is a German abbreviation that stands for beard, glasses, belly. The term is used especially in the Bears and gay scene to describe a particular preference or body type. It usually expresses an attraction to men with beards, glasses and a rather stocky build.

The code may appear in profiles or ads as “with BBB” or “without BBB”. This briefly indicates whether those features are wanted or not. As with other preferences, it is a descriptive abbreviation, not a fixed rule or a judgement about attractiveness.
