Is this more gay?
Ok, I'm not changing the main picture...but just to prove to a reader that I am not a plumber, here is what I looked like about 12 hours after the previous picture was taken:
Is it a bad thing to look incredibly unrefined?

Do you look gayer here? I'd say so. All those lotions in the background totally blow your cover.

Ha! That's shaving cream, hand cream, face scrub, and shampoo, and scalp moisturizer. I reap the benefits of having a sister in the cosmetology industry.

last time I looked hooters was making money off of being unrefined

Jeez, lighten up! Just messin wit' ya, and of course you manage to look cute even when disheveled.
There is something un-gay about being un-refined, and conversely. Linguistic studies have shown that gay men consistently use the highest-prestige dialect forms (I've been told that I sound 'formal' and 'European'). For some reason there is a widespread correlation between male sexual deviance and high social status, and it seems to hold up cross-culturally (e.g. the Hijras in India, who had very high status until the British came). Why this is I'm not sure--maybe other people have ideas.

There's something to be said for comfort and casual dressing, however, in this picture your skin tones look a little more natural and it makes use of the rule of thirds. ;)
Photo-geekery aside, you look less jock-ish and you have the whole standing-up collar thing, so maybe a bit more gay, yeah.
