    So it's simple, this is the opposite of which gay stereotype you fit into, which stereotype doesn't fit you for example: musicals, plays, fashion, looking like opposite sex, lisps etc.: (not meant to offend)

    For me, i fit into none of the stereotypes described by society

    First off, I admit to being pretty girly. I like wearing girly things, I have long hair, and I like wearing make-up on the occasion. I have absolutely no interest in most sports, trucks, or anything like that. I think I'd throw people for a loop, honestly.

    I'm a Christian who likes to make jewelry and believes in monogamy. Aren't bi's supposed to be super-sexed, having sex with five or six people at a time? Not me. -_-

    I don't really do the wrist thing, my face isn't entirely perfect (zits and scars everywhere), I'm a drummer (that's a straight stereotype), I dress mostly in a black sweatshirt, a T-shirt and jeans, and I hate what Glee's done to all the good songs such as Highway to Hell.

    Oh, and I love meat.

    As plain as a slice of bread ._.
    No extravagant fashion sense.
    Can't sing a musical to save my life.
    So "straight" that gays don't notice, but not "straight" enough, that my straight peers find out 10x faster that I'm gay for men...

    I don't belong in any stereotypes, since I'm not a STEREO :grin:

    I don't think I really fit the stereotypical gay man either. One of my guy friends says I'm not like a typical gay guy, which I guess is really good for the time being! I don't like musicals, I like grocery shopping since I've been doing it for my family the last 4 years! I'm also pretty athletic, not that women aren't, but I think we all get where I'm going with this!

    -I'm not into musicals (I like some, but not because they're musicals)
    -I don't care about fashion or how I dress
    -I don't have a lisp
    -I don't have the "gay accent" (at least people tell me I don't)
    -I don't look like the opposite sex
    -I don't like shopping
    -Most of my friends aren't female (it's about 50/50)

    I think those cover the big ones.

    I think tight jeans look horrible, are horrible and are potentially dangerous to your family jewels.

    I hate fashion trends and fashion in general.

    I've got a very low voice.

    I'm not a 'satan worshipper'.

    What is the gay stereotype? I don't know anything more beyond that.

    i don't think i fit any stereotypes at all. i tend to wear basketball shorts probably more than the average female. i'm more of t-shirt & jeans kinda girl, not baggy jeans. still tight, normal female jeans. none of this is in any sort of dyke-ish fashion though, at all.

    I don't even know what kind of stereotypes exist for people like me. In fact, I didn't even know people like me existed until a few years ago, and isn't that sad?

    Not promiscuous, never had an STD, Don't look too feminine (except my eyes+eyelashes apparently)... I do have feminine mannerisms though. Not a vegetarian, Not instantly super attractive (have a little bit of acne :x) don't work out all the time/obsessed with my body.

    I don't wear things of good fashion, although I honestly want to, I just don't have the time to get into it and acquaint myself since I came out >.<

    Other than that... yeah, I fit all the stereotypes, voice, musicals, not into sports, friends are dominantly female, apparently have that "gay accent" not sure the difference from the lisp though xD, Love shopping (though really i love game shopping, music shopping :3, online shopping more than real life mall shopping. Its a different kind of love to be more accurate)

    Hmm,
    I'm not sure what bisexual stereotypes there are.

    I'd never participate in a threesome, and I'm cautious about sex, like relationships, tho
    Those are great!

    "I don't like pink, pink likes me." - Cameron from Modern Family.
    I don't like shopping for clothes.
    My music taste does not consist of mainly pop music.
    I don't have a limp wrist. (If this equates to jazz hands sometimes, then...damn.)
    I don't keep up with the latest Kardashian gossip.
    I don't have the 'gay voice.'

    Eh.
