Endless chunk

South Jersey is a haven for (or maybe our nation's capital of) the slightly overweight, so having been raised there, it's probably no coincidence that I dig stocky guys. While it's weird to visit a place where schlubbiness is the approximate male beauty standard after living in the infinitely more fitness-minded New York, returning to wall-to-wall beef is the kind of culture shock that actually feels good. (Appropriately enough, Urban Dictionary's first entry of "schlub" defines it as "the opposite of metrosexual.")

Recently, while on the beach with bf (who shares my eye for chunk -- duh, as he's with me), we saw these two guys . . .

. . . and immediately, a personal challenge was born: we wondered how many hot chunky guys we could capture in a three-block radius (devoting approximately 20 minutes to our task). As we don't enjoy being gay bashed and otherwise want to keep all of our teeth, we knew we had to be stealth (I played nature photog whenever a slab of Jersey-raised beef seemed to figure out what was going on). Anyway, because of this condition, the pics we snapped aren't always of ideal quality, but I think you'll get the idea. The shots are loosely organized in ascending order of chunkiness. Enjoy -- we always do.

One to watch:

As he's emerging, so is his chunk:

This one's a tough call, and that's kind of exciting:

Regarding the covering-up thing, I wonder why guys think swimming in a white shirt is A) effective and B) acceptable. Love yourself! Stop making me do all the work!

Get off your can:

Definitive chunk:

Chunk ya lata:

This one represents a breed that runs rampant in S. Jersey -- the sexy dad. Not "Daddy" or any sort of gay stereotype subscriber (though it's easy to get them confused), but real, live, sexy fathers:

All this, of course, is saying nothing about the endless supply of sexy women. South Jersey really has it all. I'm so proud to call it home.

This just in -- Playgirl readers rule, as per a recent reader survey that found, among things:

While 58% favored a slightly muscular build, 42% said they found love handles kind of sexy

Atta go, girls. Put the beef back in beefcake.

I just think it's great you guys are showing your love of chub. I think stocky guys are hot. Yum.

Keep up the good work!

[Ian]

Mmmm...Now was that woman in the last picture posing for you...or is she just that fabulous that she walks around in a perma-Vogue-esque fashion?

[Rod]

Absolutely hilarious. I almost made water in my pants

[Joshua]

That "daddy" is hot. :P

[Christopher]

Love to see other guys who love the 'steaks' as they are commonly called here. Enjoy your site! Thanks for the smiles while I read at work.

[GothamWhore]

I say - God Damn! That's a lot of chunk.

[duane]

I like it when people can just be comfortable, in "gay society" there is so much pressure to be perfect; when in reality, most guys are just normal. I say let it be... don't let yourself be unhealthy or obese, but don't worry about not having that damn six pack. I have always preferred my man to have a little belly, and that is never going to change!

[smitty]

slightly beefy guys rule (and chicks too). Skinny is grody.

[stan]

chunk-o-rama!

[Kind of Grossed Out]

Um, how is a lack of fitness hot?
I am having a hard time understanding how a man with breasts is sexually arousing.

Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I'll take the Greek ideal of sloth anyday.

Chunk is gross.

[Genevieve]

I guess if they had cute faces I wouldn't care so much about their bellies.

[Meagan]

I'm pretty sure the guy holding the can is Billy Zane....
As a female I have to say, long live the chunk! Chunk is way better than skinny or muscled.
LONG LIVE THE EVERYMAN!

Really cut muscley guys are fun to look at, but I love regular guys. Analogy: caviar vs a nice grilled filet; sure the caviar is special and kind of a treat, but it's fussy stuff and the filet is what you can to dig into and what you really want. That's my best off-the-cuff analogy....

But yeh, very nice. Not all the guys here were quite what I like, but "regular" is hot.

I think this should be a regular feature for this new (hooked) reader form FRM.

[Someone Else]

And god bless those clingy shorts those guys wear.

[Laura]

Mmm, mmm. Those are my kind of guys. (And here I thought I was nuts for liking mine like that!)

[Dino]

Hell yeah! I love stocky guys too! That daddy is especially nice. WOOF!

[KRT]

I have to agree with Rich and Dino here. Loves me the straight chunk. The gay chunk isn't always hot, and therefore more exciting when a hot chunky hunky gay dude is discovered. That's why i hang in the bear scene, duh.

But my favorite breed has got to be that "Daddy." And yes, Rich, not Daddy Daddy, but mmmm just pure and simple DIFLs. Dads I've Love To FUCK. Meet me in the bathroom on the boardwalk and I'll swallow. I promise.

PS: Hahahaha Rich just walks around the Jersey shore snapping pictures at unbeknownst straighties. That is also a hobby of mine! And of questionable legal standing.

[Crisp]

Gives me some of that chunk in the trunk anytime, boo. Sorry folks, but if your chunkdaddy doesn't have that hard beer belly with the firm thick muscley arms, full beard and hairy chest with firm nipz, then I might THINK about letting you hit mine, 'k?

@ Laura:

You are not alone. There. Are. Others. Like. You. :)
