| Member Regular Member Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Posts: 28 Join Date: Dec 2009 |  Gay stereotypes 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. |

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! | |

I love looking at them, driving, working on them...etc. - I have short hair. Many people have told me to grow it out.

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.  |

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?

| Well Known Full Member   Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Everyone knows except my extended family Location: Vancouver Age: 22 Posts: 101 Join Date: Oct 2009 | Re: Gay stereotypes 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 |
