| Let the journey of life continue! EC Moderator ![]() Gender: Let's say Pangender! Orientation: Let's say gay!! (Homoromantic Demisexual) Out Status: Out as pan to most, out as gay completely Location: Central and Northern Ohio Age: 20 Posts: 7,043 Join Date: Jun 2011 Tournaments Won: 9 | I marked somewhat because I was born female but I enjoy the typical guy activities and wear guys clothes. But I also identify as pangender. Most people see me just as "one of the guys" now.

| Well Known Full Member Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: All but family Age: 17 Posts: 157 Join Date: Sep 2011 | Well, as far as being a stereotypical gay, no, not really. I mean I'll admit I don't mind stuff like musicals or a couple Lady Gaga songs or something, but I don't really act stereotypical in the slightest really. It's not like I'm trying to hide it either, it's just how I normally am =P And personally, the kind of people who exemplify the stereotypes kind of annoy me, especially if they're doing it on purpose. |

| Well Known Zoophiliac ![]() Gender: Male Orientation: Open Minded Out Status: A couple close friends. Location: NY Age: 23 Posts: 199 Join Date: Apr 2012 | I'm not a stereotypical gay/bi guy. I might like a few "stereotypical" things here and there, but nothing that someone else would really notice. It's hard when it comes to dating / meeting people though, because most guys aren't going to approach a guy who they think is straight, and me not being "out" makes it even harder to meet people like me. |

| Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 01 Full Member ![]() Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Everyone & some immediate family Location: Bay Area, CA (for school) Age: 22 Posts: 115 Join Date: Sep 2009 | On many occasions, I've been told that I'm "incognito." Not that I'm masculine by any means, but I'm not feminine either. As my friend once told me, I'm rather "vanilla"; as in, I just "am." I have to admit, though, that my friend's description is quite profound. ![]()

| Ever The Consummate Gentleman... Full Member ![]() Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: This cat is out of the bag - I mean closet Location: Pennsylvania Age: 22 Posts: 2,984 Join Date: Jun 2009 | I hate this question. I am incapable of determining whether or not I myself am stereotypical, because I can't see myself as a third party would be able to in order to best answer the question. But just for kicks: Most of the time I don't think I am, but it probably shows more than I realize. So I'd say I am a little stereotypical.

| a cow Full Member ![]() Gender: cow Orientation: cows Out Status: i dont care Location: Sydney Australia Age: 19 Posts: 702 Join Date: Sep 2011 | im comfortable enough to say yes i am stereotypical at times thats why i voted only alittle bit, but who isnt??? i think being alittle camp or butch comes with the territory of being gay anyways i think i was more flamboyant while in the closet., i was so scared of looking like a sissy i was probably acting like one subconsciously. i dont deny my gayness, it actually makes me happy sometimes to know it will never bother me anymore

| ლᶘ ᵒᴥᵒᶅ Regular Member ![]() Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Not in Location: New Zealand Age: 21 Posts: 2,156 Join Date: Dec 2010 | I'm not stereotypical enough for someone to pick out I'm gay straight away, but I'm stereotypical enough that if someone was told there was a gay guy in the room they would probably say it was me. Hah! |

| EC Addict Full Member Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Gaining outage. Location: US Age: 22 Posts: 431 Join Date: Apr 2012 | It is a hard question to answer. When I was younger I figured I was very in between. Not typically guyish but not stereotypically gay. I think most people treated me as if I was neutral. Looking at myself now, I am a little/somewhat stereotypical. But some people don't seem to have a clue and others think I'm totally gay. So idk. I lack interest in sports and male competition. Hate getting dirty. I like shopping to a certain extent. Dressing and grooming nice is very important. I get along with girls better. I like some tv and music that girls tend to like more. I cook, I clean. I don't consider myself very attractive but I have been called "pretty boy" by many. And I occasionally catch myself with the limp wrist thing or crossing my legs. You'd think these things would be enough get noticed by other gay guys. No the gays I see around almost always take notice of the straight guys with me. "Hello! He's not gay! I am!!!"

| Free Hugs EC Admin ![]() Gender: Female Orientation: Lesbian Out Status: Out to everyone Location: Melbourne, Australia Age: 22 Posts: 8,493 Join Date: Mar 2008 ![]() Tournaments Won: 4 | Somewhat, and not ashamed of it. I hate makeup and shopping and dress like a preteen boy. Doesn't make me a worse person, mean that I enjoy making life harder for more feminine lesbians, or that I'm the reason that homophobia exists. (All crap I've heard about more 'stereotypical' queer people.)

| EC Addict Full Member ![]() Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Close friends, acquaintances & whoever asks Location: United Kingdom Age: 19 Posts: 1,405 Join Date: Mar 2012 | Only very very little. I was more so as a child, I've seen videos that are cringe-worthy, me flouncing around with my really camp voice, both which have now diminished. I just come across like a somewhat eccentric average guy now. Saying that I have walked past two girls before which both said in a highly sarcastic manner, 'he's not gay at all...' which offended me at the time because I still didn't accept it myself. Nowadays I'd just laugh it off. |
