Right, so I'm adding to the already sizable count of 'am I passable?' posts.  I just gave myself a haircut... at 2am with a pair of childrens' scissors... I wound up taking off a good 5-8 inches (previously my hair looked a lot like what Scratchy has as his avatar right now).  I got a lot of funny looks with my hair longer, but I haven't received any yet with the shorter cut (with the exception of one clearly confused janitor staring bullets at me as I walked outta the 'ladies' restroom, lol).  I just have my avatar up for reference but I'd say it's a pretty good representation of how I usually look--without glasses, though, 'cuz I'm getting new ones.

Oh yeah, and of course any criticism/advice for improvement is welcome.

AWESOME job for cutting your hair yourself dude.  Hell I could never do it, I don't trust myself.

It looks great.  Not only do you pass but you are something good to look at too 

100% passable.

Wow... you look great! TOTALLY passable

~Kate~

I'd say you do. R u the quarterback? >

Nichole

Yes. Absolutely!

No  I'm only kidding.  You totally pass, dude.

Very passable. You've got masculine features for sure.

you pass i wish i did
today this little kid was on his skateboard thing and i heard his mom say watch out for that young lady or some crap of the like

Definitely passable. Like me, you look young(er) but you have a very dominant/masculine jawline. AND your lines, for your hair, look great!
Iv'e always said it, when you get your haircut short, make sure they do your lines!

woo!  passable AND cute!  lol

Holy haircut, Batman! You look great!

I expect people of all genders to be making passes at you left and right.

Maybe you should switch to the men's room?

Lines? What are lines?

Lines on the side of your head. Like a line-up you'd get from the barber if your head was shaved.

you pass way better than I do!

and yeah, I would start using the men's room if I were you-permitting you have the proper know how-ish?

yep u pass bro

definitely passing, I'm surprised though that going for a longer look didn't work,
I've found that I pass better with my hair longer, some people actually think I'm a guy trying to be a girl, and even wanna let me know that they KNOW I'm male, can't fool them!!!

You look awesome, no doubt. Seriously jealous, and I must agree that you look super cute. Very handsome. =]

If you feel ready to use the men's restroom, go for it. Just.. be careful, ya know? Having a friend to go in with you is [at times] a very useful thing. But, I'd say go for it.

Woot.  Thanks everyone for your comments.

Lol, heck no.  Although I get the feeling that watching football on TV would be more interesting had I actually played the game at some point.

Dude, I get that too sometimes.  If I had the voice, I'd like to shout out 'I'm a guy' or something to 'em; people are always mortified when they find out they've messed up on pronouns and the like.  >

Lines, so that's what they're called--didn't know that.  I just went after my hairline with a disposable razor to enhance the slight M-shape I already had going on... kinda unprofessional, but I guess it worked.

Well, the long hair worked, sorta... but I got the same thing you did, with people taking second glances and some thinking I was a guy trying to be a girl.  I even had one kid say "Hey, you're a guy! Why do you look like a girl?!"  Messed up how a simple thing like hair length is a major factor of gender determination for some people.

To everyone who said I should start just using the mens' restroom: I'm thinking that'd be a good idea, because the womens' restroom is not working out so well for me anymore.  Only problem would be using it at school and running into dudes I know... or my professors >.<  It's a small college, and I've been here awhile, so people know me.  For now I'm sticking to the (very) few one-stall more private bathrooms on campus.

well, at least you know you're passing though, I know kind of twisted, but it beats the: it's a girl trying to be a guy thing

yeah you definitely pass... no doubt.

bathroom issue, stay out of the women's dude.  you're a man!
