What makes someone a twink?

I always thought it was a guy who naturally acted more feminine, but in the stereotypical "fashion fashion fashion" sense.

In my own understanding, it's kind of like this:

According to Tyler Oakley:

A 'twink' is usually widely used to describe someone that come across as more cute and boyish, than rugged and manly. It doesn't specifically have to do with feminine or fashion.

Honestly, I can see why that individual would consider you as such based on your appearance. I have been label one before as well. I wouldn't give much thought to it. :l

 

*raises hand*

 

A Twink is a gay slang term describing a young or young-looking man with a slender, ectomorph build, little or no body hair, and no facial hair.

 

I'm no expert, but I'd say minimal body hair, youthful possible effeminate appearance.

I'm 6ft2 but would consider myself a twink. Most people at my age wouldn't be called that but I am particularly young looking. (I'm starting to embrace it rather than hate it!)

I'm probably not thin enough yet, but I'm 75% of the way there (lost 80lb so far)

That brings me to a question.. what are fat twinks called? lol

 

Twinkies! (!)

JK

I have no idea.

 

Anti-bears.

 

Young and more feminine type of gay young adults. Usually skinny or scrawny or submissive. Idk.

 

It's already been described perfectly by a few posts above, and I'd also like to add "completely unfair helpings of cuteness." Quit hogging it all!

 

I'm definitely a bear but I like twinks.

 

To me, it's just a fresh-faced kid, usually without body hair, but it can also be an adult, for a while, until he turns into what might be termed "boyish looking."

 

You don't have to be ultra skinny. My definition of a twink is what my BF is: Not incredibly skinny, but some meat on his bones, not a lot of hair and boyish looking.

I looooooooooooove twinks. (slurp)

 

It has to do with the consumption of Twinkies Snack Cakes. The more you consume, the more of a Twink you become.

But seriously, I've always hated the term, and find it mildly offensive: probably because it's another mold to try to fit people into, and I have always hated the idea of easy categorization, especially as far as gay stereotypes go.
