It’s time for Otters vs Pups. Part of my data-visualizing series from the Gay Cliques Census. (See previously: Bears vs Cubs, Twinks vs Chubs).
I didn’t even put Pups on my original Cliques Chart, only graphing the sub-group “Muscle Pups.” I guess I subconsciously realized what can now be proven with data: there’s not much physical difference between Otters and Pups.
- Pups are about 20lbs heavier than Otters
- Otters are less fat than Pups, averaging 1-2” smaller waist sizes
- Otters are slightly hairier than Pups
- Between 25-35, Pups start calling themselves Otters
Because there is so little distinction physically, I assume there’s a lot going on with personality that distinguishes Pups from Otters. This is (unfortunately) something I did not put into my survey.
