Tribes

What does Jock mean?

A jock is an athletic, muscular, sporty gay or bi man, often into fitness or team sports.

Also: jocks

Jock describes an athletic, gym-fit or sporty build and the culture that goes with it. It is one of the classic gay tribes and overlaps with fitness and sports scenes.

The label is about physique and vibe rather than any single sport. Plenty of jocks are laid-back and friendly despite the competitive stereotype.

As with every tribe, it is a self-chosen tag, and people define the edges for themselves.

"Gym five days a week — jock type."

On dipnzip, Jock is a tribe tag you can filter for if that's your thing.
