Despite an active childhood that included playing football and running track since fifth grade, Gerald Thomas was a bit spooked when he read his class schedule at the start of his freshman year at Elbert County Comprehensive High School in northeast Georgia.

He briefly stopped working out after ending his collegiate track career, but within a month, Thomas noticed the activity he once dreaded had become an essential part of his being.

In the beginning, weight lifting was just a stress reliever—whenever I would go to the gym, I would just feel so much better afterward. I realized that was a part of my everyday routine and something I was used to, part of my lifestyle. That post-workout euphoria is familiar to Marcus Saulsberry , who described himself as a high school and collegiate band geek before he first started going to the gym about a dozen years ago.

They respect me and my lifestyle and my quirks, my gayness, my femininity, everything in the gym. Throughout modern queer history—from the Castro Clones of the s, the and cover model aesthetics of the last four decades, to the preferences listed in many online dating profiles—gay men have had an ambivalent relationship with muscularity. Men with chiseled chests and eight-pack abs have long been considered the default standard of homosexual desire, and as a result, the embodiment of a fantasy that is partly blamed for higher rates of body image anxiety among gay men.

Jamal Essayli , a psychologist and assistant professor at Penn State College of Medicine who co-authored a study on male body image issues in For Saulsberry, going from lanky to swole felt comparable to someone joining a Black Greek-letter organization in college. Some men start acting like a big man on campus the moment they cross the burning sands, and Saulsberry noticed how some people began expecting his ego to grow as big as his muscles.

Friends have told Thomas his desirability makes him undateable, that a swimsuit model could not withstand the waves of sexual opportunity that must wash over him every day. However, Thomas recognizes that being objectified for his physique has also provided unfair advantages in other parts of his life. They hire you based on how you look and the talent comes next.

And this may be why there are countless think-pieces and empowerment campaigns that condemn the effects of gay beauty standards on those who feel they fall short of them, but little empathy when those who seem to meet those standards are degraded as being dumb, shallow, or sexually promiscuous. One of the more unjust prejudices against muscularity is how well-sculpted individuals are reduced to one dimension, as if the discipline, commitment, and sacrifice required to attain such a physique does not translate to other parts of their lives.

I feel good about myself for being the age I am and being able to look the way I look. Saulsberry, who considers working out as routine as taking a shower and brushing his teeth, has set a goal of competing in two bodybuilding contests in —where the standards for the perfect body are exponentially harsher than on any gay dating app.

Saulsberry plans to protect himself from unrealistic expectations with the same philosophy that has guided his fitness thus far. Content About Us Donate Shop. Back Articles Videos Podcast. View fullsize.
