I'm self conscious about being attracted to bears.

As the title says my ideal body type is that of what the gay community would call bears. I'm 16 years old and gay in highschool, and my female friends LOVE to ask me who I like and stuff like that. ( Not that straight people don't get asked the same thing ). But I have a hard time saying things like," Oh, I REALLY like the history teacher" because for one thing, that's totally illegal for me right now so I know it's out of bounds. But also people never seem to understand that I'm attracted to things that just aren't what I would say is considered "normal" by media and such. I usually just say that there aren't any boys that I like at school, and don't go further than that. Knowing what I'm attracted to is one of the reasons I was able to accept I was gay quicker if I'm being honest. When I was still working on coming out people said I was probably just attracted to REALLY feminine guys or something, and while personality is a pretty important thing for me, I knew the qualities that appealed to me most in men' bodies just weren't found in women's bodies. Okay, rant over, not really searching for advice particularly, my innermost circle of my few friends know what I like, and if people don't like it I can't really change it. Does anyone else have this problem though? Just wondering.
