What do you think I look like?

Did your sister/mother specifically say why having your hair like that would make you look gay? How is that gay? It's just a way of having your hair. I use hairgel on mine to make it look "pointy" and that's how I like it.

HAHAHAHAHA, those guys in the pictures look like they might be gay (not that there's anything wrong with that) Are they trying to copy the "blue steel" face that guy did on zoolander?
I'm sure you would look fine with a haircut like that though.......Ok :p

I dont know, they said something about they looked like they were "trying to hard" or something.

That last link takes me to a registration page, some of those pics are of girls and a few of the links take me to a page full of pictures, some girls some boys. Please be more specific. Although I do rather like this hair style:

That dosnt look gay does it? I don't know how to tell. Also is my hair even long enough to do that? And is he using some kind of gel?
 
A hair style does not define how a person looks, no person can go 'oh he has long / short / spikey hair therefore he must be gay'. Gay guys generally just look like straight guys but occasionally better dressed lol. Don't let the thought of 'what if it makes me look gay' rule everything you do. Some people might say you look gay but that's spite not truth.

I like that hair style, yeah he would almost definately be wearing gel or wax, looks like it might get irritating being around your face all the time. The thing with the hair styles most of us are suggesting is they are not 'trying to hard', sure the models are but you'd just wash your hair and put wax or gel in it, it'd probably take the same length of time it takes to do you hair now.

Don't feel that putting effort into your appearance is gay, it's not, it's just taking care of yourself and making the best of your looks, which most straight and gay guys do.

Well I'm not going to touch my hair until I can see a very solid picture of what I should do to it, I am that insecure. I can't help it :(

You need to find a picture of one you like then. If you ask a load of people what they think you should do with your hair you're not going to get them all to agree on one. Plus, it's your hair, you should choose a hair style YOU like, what anyone else thinks of it doesn't really matter so much.

I don't think the haircuts on the pictures you posted look gay at all. They looked pretty normal. Of course they'll look gay on someone who acts or is actually gay :lol:

Just think to yourself (and like cutefluffykitten rudely said): Any haircut I get will be better than the one I have right now, so I'll just choose one and improve myself.

I suggest if you have no experience of fancy haircuts to avoid them, it will make you feel even more insecure. Also I don't know about you but I personally would feel rather silly showing up at the barber shop with a picture of a super-cool guy, and asking for a mockery of his haircut...

So my advice is, just cut them short in the "normal","traditional" way that a large percentage of guys use in every country, continent and age...it consists of clearing your forehead, then cutting hair rather short around your head, and leaving a bit of volume over it. Any barber will be able to do that without any detailed explanations, and it requires no "maintenance". Oh, and incidentally it is probably the kind of haircut that is less likely to make you look gay, if you are really concerned about that. It's the conservative-respectable haircut by definition :)

Without any pictures it's like I'm in a deep pool of water not knowing how to swim :( Where are some websites that have pictures of different mens hair styles, particularly ones used a lot by teens and people my age?

dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you're worrying too much!! take a deep breath and relax.
don't think too much.
I don't think the spiky hair thing looks gay at all. I have seen all types of guys with hair like that. straight guys in their 20s, 30s. and I don't think that hair style is high maintenance. its just the opposite. you don't have to do anything with it, just wash it, put little gel and mess it up. you don't have to make perfect spikes or anything like that. some guys even look like they just got up from bed (just the opposite of trying too hard). the guys in the photo have perfect spikes but in real life, real guys, it just looks messed up, I like it. I think it looks sexy when guys have that style.
and if you like the style in that photo you put up, then do that. just do what you like. I personally think the longer the hair is the harder to maintain. good luck!

So basically I think we have the same kind of hair, similiar color, straight, and it looks like mine does when it gets longer.

I used to keep it longer (similiar to how long you have it now, but brushed to one side) and hated and agonized over it. FOR YEARS. It was awful.

Finally one day I managed to get up the confidence while I was at a barber to get them to trim it way back. Actually, I kind of felt like an idiot because I sort of had them cut it the way it used to be THEN decided I wanted it cut way back)

Anyway, I am much happier with mine now. I go in and say, "Trim the top with a 4 and the sides with a 3." (those are the numbers of the little widgets that fit on a pair of hair trimmers, any barber knows what you mean)

It is a short haircut, but doesn't look too militant or anything. I take a shower and it is good to go. No gel, sprays or crap. It doesn't look like some cool ass model haircut, but that isn't me. It certainly doesn't look like I am trying too hard either. It is one of those things that you won't really know if you like it till you try it and see it on yourself. The first time I did it was when I knew I could get away wearing a hat for awhile if I hated it. It turned out better than I expected.

I won't get into the whole rating of you thing because I have no idea. But you're not a bad looking guy. My only regret is not cutting my hair short when I was way younger. I am much less worried about it now. If I were you I'd try some different things until you find something you like.

Oh, and again, I have no idea, but I bet that if you went with the short hair a short beard or goatee would look OK on you. Don't know if you can pull it off yet or not. A stringy teenage beard isn't a good look on anybody, but you might keep it in the back of your mind for someday.

Good Luck.

Edit: OK, this is totally not a real pict of me. That will never happen, but this sort of looks like what I am talking about:

Dear Snowcrash,

Beauty , physical attractiveness is totally a matter of opinion.
You seeking other people's opinions will only result in more confusion.
Some of the most physically beautiful I have met in my life have had very little inner glow thus after a while you don't even notice their outward 'beauty'.
Most people respond to soft features, evenly placed (symetrical) on the face and everything fairly balanced.
My opinion is that you are neither ugly or over beautiful. You look nice to me, that is just my opinion and does it really matter?

Immetoo :)
