    You look like my friend Rob, and he came out of the closet a few years ago. If it is possible to look gay, which I twink it is, then yes, your a twink.

    What do you mean, can't a twink be straight too? Well, aside from not wanting men....

    When I think of twinks, I think of skinny and hairless. I can't really get a good idea from the picture. You certainly look young enough.

    A twink is a young gay male. Now come here and bend over. :)

    Twinkie, twinkle, or the most common abbreviation twink, is used in gay slang to describe an attractive young or young-looking male, invariably in their early to mid twenties, usually of slender build, only slightly muscular, with little or no body hair (often referred to as a "swimmer's build").

    Originally the term referred principally to blonds, but among gays the term increasingly includes other young men whose features are those principally described above, but are not necessarily blond.

    Although the term can be derogatory and pejorative, implying shallowness and lack of intellect it is rarely used in this manner. In most cases, it is more of a neutral descriptive term; and often a badge of honor. Twinks can include the subsets Skaters and Surfers and are contrasted with Jocks and Bears. Closely related is Boi, although this generally represents a more feminine look.

    [edit]


    Origin

    The origin of the term is unknown but might be an allusion to the Twinkie pastry, which is golden (blond) on the outside with cream on the inside, and is pleasantly sweet but with little nutritional substance.

    There is a backronym that states "twink" stands for "teenaged, white, into no kink," although none of those things are either necessary or sufficient for being a twink.

    Woot makeover, now I just have to be more openly gay...like when people ; ask if I have a girlfriend? instead of just "no" , "haha no I'm gay"..because i think some guys ask me that because they are gay and they are trying to find out if I am too.

    I agree with KD, cute twink you are, and a make-out . . . er, make over wouldn't hurt. You have thick enought hair, so a good stylist can work with it. In that photo your bangs look kinda juvenile. There's nothing wrong with your glasses, but they look like something a 40 year old man would wear. I'm not sure what kids are wearing for frames these days, but I bet you could get away with something hipper.

    I usually don't suggest people go out and buy into the fashion thing. I was into fashion when I was your age, alternative looks. There is nothing wrong with that, it can be an art form and a way to express yourself. And when you're younger it can be fun to play around with different looks. Because of your dark hair, I could see you as a friendly emo look. More relaxed, aware, less nerd.

    You have a long face, sort of. I don't know if it's more Oblong Square or Diamond. (Hard to tell in the photo.) Thin glasses do look okay on you, if you go thin maybe something edgier. But I think you can wear heavier frames and make it look cool. I'm sure most all frames look good on you, because of your strong jaw line, which means you could go as wild as you want with frames. You've got the FreundenHaus look now and I feel like those specs might be sexier on somebody with a tiny round face. You could get away with an L.A. Eyeworks or Lunor look. I think you'd look great in frames like this dude. Go to a top of the line store and check out the designers, like Dior and Guess? or Robert Marc. Then look for the cheeper knock offs elsewhere, like at a big downtown doctors office. Check out the department stores, then the hip stores, then the large doctors offices. There used to be an optician right around the corner downtown from the big department stores who sold the same brands for a lot less. go to Lens Crafters last -you can find some deals there. Check out all the stores first and shop around to see what works for you.

    Wear what you feel comfortable in, but don't be afraid to try something new. Maybe get a couple of cheep frames, one with sunglasses or mirrored. Look for a cheep two for one sale. You can have them put smokey lenses into any fram, even if they aren't "sun glass" frames. Then get one really cool pair you pick up at the big eyeglass store downtown. You can wear a different pair everyday. Eye glass frames are like jewelry, like a wedding ring you wear everyday -you shouldn't skimp on the price. Buy the best you can afford, you'll be wearing them everyday. I've seen alot of the aviator (pear shaped) frames in the fashion press lately, you could wear those. Also, bigger frames are in for sunglasses. Regular frames will follow suit.

    ~So much for my queer eye for the twink guy.

    Thanks alot for the suggestions, I'll be the first to admit that when it comes to fashion I have NO idea what I am doing. I think I will buy some thick frames sometime, I recently bought presciption sunglasses also so thats good.

    Yesss, That's what I was talking about! He would look very cute on you, I mean his hair cut. Longer, sexier, layers on the top. Like I said, your hair looks thick enough for it, and I think part of the problem right now might be that your current stylist doesn't know how to thin hair like in the Randy_Harrison.jpg. He's got high-lights, so you could go for that if you wanted to be more twink. Like bleach the tips a little.

    Actually are you a butch lesbian? your shirt says lesbian but your eyebrows say male gay. If you are not a saussage eater a decent hairstyle would do you good. The hair is so close to gay its Bi.
