The Beefcake of Chaffee, Missouri

Chaffee, Missouri, is in southeastern Missouri, 130 miles from the nearest big city, St. Louis.  The nearest town with a gay bar is Carbondale, Illinois, 60 miles away.  It's isolated!

There's a Circle Park in the center of town, where the main street, Yoakum, meets 3rd.  The high school is 3 blocks west, at the western edge of town, to the high school on the west end of town, and the main retail area is two blocks east.  There ar 2 pizza places and a Mexican restaurant.  The nearest Chinese restaurant is in Cape Girardeaux.

For shopping, there's a Food Giant and a Dollar General Store.

There are 7 churches, mostly Baptist.



The city is 97% white.  The per capita income is $20,000.  In 1996, when the textile plant closed, 60% of the town's workers lost their jobs.  Even today, 22% of the population is living in poverty.

It received severe flooding in 2009.

All in all, not a great place to live, especially if you are gay.










But even the smallest, most isolated of towns can be a paradise of male beauty.  Let's see what Chaffee has.  First, some dating sites.

Nice abs.

I found more shirtless dating profiles, but let's go on to other beefcake possibilities.













Wrestling singlets.  This is actually a wrestler from Meadow Hills, an opposing team.


















Swim teams.

More after the break.



















Swimmers' builds




















Plus an outdoor pool.  This kid is a little young for beefcake, but give him a few years.















Give this 4-H Club guy just a few months until he turns 18. He's already got quite a physique.


















I wish my high school principal looked like him. I'd have gone to more school assemblies.
















Almost makes you want to drop into the No Name Cafe on Yoakum Street for a Pepsi.
