    I saw a thread to prove your gay, and i thought it would be cool to hear the opposite from people. What hobbies/habits/etc. do you have that are totally different then the average stereotypes.

    I'm good with tools
    I'm naturally pretty messy and disorganized
    Most of my friends are straight guys
    I'm not crazy talkative
    My index finger is shorter than my ring finger
    I'm a science major, most gay guys I've met are into liberal arts

    Hm, this list is hard. I guess I am pretty gay lol.

    I actually fit into a lesbian stereotype pretty well.... except I do wear mostly "normal" girl clothes....sometimes.... and almost all of my friends are straight girls. I'm not really butch though or anything, although I do have short hair....I don't know lol what are lesbian stereotypes anyway? Short hair (check), love Ani Difranco (check), vegetarian (check), I don't know?

    Most of these fit me too! Except for knowing how to use tools and the major since I'm not in college yet.

    My list:
    - I don't have anything even vaguely gay themed in my wardrobe.
    - I'm Polish. Polish and gay mix like oil and water, aka not supposed to be possible. At least that's how I think since almost every Polish person I've met is homophobic, including my own family.
    - I don't really care about Madonna or Lady Gaga.
    - I like listening to rock/metal.
    - I love my video games. <3
    - I'm rather good with computers and solving problems, except if it has to do with the Internet. Anytime the Internet doesn't work on a computer it's usually because of some really nonsensical stupid reason!
    - I'm not friends with anyone that's gay.
    - I'm not visibly gay, I only tell people if they ask what I like.
    - Because of above, I don't participate in any gay-related events because I don't like attracting negative attention to myself, and I don't want to give my family any hints.
    - I prefer to have my hair long, though gay guys these days also seem to have long hair. From what I've seen though they prefer having it short, because I read in some article that long hair is out of style in gay fashion.
    - That said, I don't really care about how well my clothes match or anything like that. If it's comfortable and it doesn't look stupidly weird, that's fine with me. And that wraps up this list. Wow, didn't think I'd come up with so much!

My mom refuses to allow me to cut my hair cuz then she says i'll will look like sevral very mean words but many say id rock a hawk but not like the weird one youd have to get a picchair of it. cant wait. i might have to anyway so SUCK IT. ima get one. but its cool cuz its not a reg hawk. well.. as usual I DUNNO what to answer with cuz i never know :astonished: :] goood luck in ur quest for truth :]

    Out to everyone
    - I'm a total car nut. I love looking at them, driving, working on them...etc.
    - I have short hair. Many people have told me to grow it out. I can't be bothered.
    - Garth Brooks & Brad Paisley is right next to Lady GaGa and Madonna in my music collection (well not really, but you know what I mean.)
    - No lisp, I walk like a lesbian in work boots, etc.
    - I don't get poetry :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
    - ZERO fashion sense. If I didn't have friends to shop for me, I'd probably still be wearing the jeans my mom bought me 3 years ago.
    - I don't like clubbing. At all.
    - I don't sleep around...

    My friends generally describe me as more or a Lesbian than a Gay man...just that small detail about being interested in guys.

    I hate shopping
    I have no fashion sense
    I have a lot of close male friends
    I love gory films, ad dislike chick flicks and musicals
    I do enjoy sports, although I dont really enjoy watching them.
    I dont act gay on most occasions, and when I do its because I like the guy, so I suppose thats one stereotypically gay thing about me.

    -The only pair of skinny jeans I own were bought by accident.
    -I don't like Lady Gaga at all.
    -I don't care for Britney either.
    -I don't like clubbing.

    The sad thing is that while there are a bunch of "gay" things I don't like, there aren't really any "straight" things that I do like. Does MXC count?

    1. I've been told that I'm pretty masculine in appearance
    2. I wait like 3 days before shaving. My face is the only thing I do shave. I don't shave, wax, pluck, tweeze, thread, laser, etc. any other part of my body despite me being hairier than Beast from Beauty and the Beast lol.
    3. I generally don't like romantic comedies or just romance movies in general. I find them way too predictable. My favourite movies are usually action movies and comedies.
    4. Although I listen to "sterotypical" gay music like pop, top 40, and house/techno, I also listen to "sterotypical" straight music such as rap/hip-hop and rock.
    5. I don't have the limp wrists
    6. All my friends are straight
    7. I only like shopping when it's for myself, and I always have to bring my sister along because I'm not confident enough to decide what looks good on me. In other words I feel like I don't have a good sense of fashion. I also hate shopping with large groups of women so boring.
    8. A stereotype I often hear about gay men is that they are promiscuous, want to have unprotected sex with as many guys as possible, and are not really looking for anything long-term. I'm like the exact opposite lol. I'd rather have a long-term relationship than a random hook-up with a stranger and I'm like anal about using protection (no pun intended lol). But then again this same stereotype could be applied to some straight guys (only interested in sleeping with as many chicks as they can, etc.) , so I guess in this case I'm acting more like a stereotypical woman? lol
    9. I am studying psychology at university, so I don't plan on being in any of the stereotypical professions (hairdresser, make-up artist, etc.)
    10. Can't cook to save my life
    11. Can be messy at times
