    People hate stereotypes, but sometimes we can fit them pretty well. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: I was wondering if anybody has heard of stereotypes that they can relate to. haha I'll start

    Vegetarian
    boots/combat boots
    cats
    rough sports (I usually don't like sports but the ones that I have been in were rough contact ones)
    dyed hair
    converse/vans shoes? (I've only heard that once, but I do love them!)
    studs
    no makeup
    tattoos (Nothing crazy, just small ones on the ankles)
    piercings (again, nothing crazy)
    boys clothes (They're so comfy!)
    no curves whatsoever
    flannel

    Ummmmm, let's see....

    I don't have the manliest voice in the world...
    I like "girly" dance groups (specifically K-Pop, but still).
    I can be prissy at times and hate germs.
    I watch America's Next Top Model and have a mild interest in women's fashion.


    I think that's it. :lol: All my other stereotypical behavior would fall under "straight guy" stereotypes, heheheh.

    ... I'm a bit of a cat fan. Perhaps too much of a cat fan.

    I had no idea cats were part of the stereotype. You learn something new every day.

    I wear skinny jeans
    I like female pop singers like Marina & the Diamonds and Ellie Goulding

    ...so much for stereotypes.

    I adore cats.
    I Love converse shoes, but shoes in general really get me going with outfit building.
    I wear makeup, not heavily though just a little concealer and toner.
    I obsess about my weight and excersize all the time to stay trim.
    I loathe baggy clothing.
    While I don 't eat it exclusively I prefer organic foods.
    I obsess about my voice, I either want it re-tuned or gone.
    I obsess about scented soaps, moisturizing, and I loathe sunlight for fear of skin damage.
    I am completely celibate and don't want anything to do with anyone physically for as long as I have an uncorrected body as I find it distresses me/is hideous.

    I'm ALWAYS wearing converse, does that put me in the "converse" category? I usually carry my 3DS around..that makes me geeky my friends say... I only carry if for boring days thought, not like I need my 3DS for a party or something .-.

    -I'm not really into all of those things that females are supposedly supposed to like
    -I wear limited amounts of make-up, if I even wear any (only mascara and lip gloss)
    -I prefer jeans, sweatshirts, T-shirts, and tank tops over anything else
    -I only have three pairs of shoes (Converse, running shoes, and one pair of good dress shoes)
    -I hate wearing dresses, skirts, heels, and having my hair and make-up done
    -Romanic movies and books I hate with a burning passion; it's either action, fantasy, horror, science fiction, or mystery genre that grabs my attention
    -I don't like talking about me feelings or what I'm thinking
    -I like to shoot things (with my bow- but I like paper targets, not people :wink: )
    -My favorite genre of music is rock or alternative
    -I'm not exactly "lady-like" (I cross my legs while wearing dresses, I burp too much, etc.)

    And I thought I saw somewhere that a stereotype of lesbians is that they show a lot of cleavage O_0

    ....In which case I would also fit the stereotype

    I wear skinny jeans
    I hate sports
    I sit with my legs closed
    Although I have a deep voice it still comes off as"gay"so some people.
    I like to walk like a runway model around the house.(much to my parents chagrin)

    Not that many, really.

    I do this weird flourish when I point.
    My laugh sometimes ramps up into a giggle.
    I like 70s and 80s disco and dance music.
    I like to cross my legs when I sit.

    Oh, and I like to have sex with guys. Fine, if that makes me GAY... :slight_smile:

    Are you...are you me? Aside from a few of these things I probably could have written this.

    I don't really mind getting into dirty work but I do have some degree of neat freak. I am also conscious about my clothing??? Also there are some pop artists I listen to, but not like Lady Gaga or Katy Perry or Nicki Minaj. I can't hold my indie cred with poptarts like them! But no, seriously I don't really enjoy them.

    I can't think of much else that I do that puts me into a stereotype position.

    Adarya, oh I hate talking about my feelings too. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: I like to shoot things, but also find kickboxing/punching things to be very therapeutic. lol The only time I really wear makeup is when going to weddings or formal parties, but not on a day-to-day basis. Nice music style! But you gotta love the 80's.
    VDoof, I'm not a real fan of shaving but because of our society's opinion, and my mom's opinion, of body hair I kind of have to shave. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I know there's this huge stereo type about "short hair"

    What are your opinions on that?

    I'm the stereotypical bear: I have a beard, body hair and I'm chubby (I also have a bear paw necklace that I wear when I go out). Surprisingly, come to think of it, I don't have a lot of flannel in my wardrobe, I think I should rectify that problem. :wink:

    But at least according to the homosexual stereotype, I love Scissor Sisters and Pink (but otherwise I normally listen to rock or metal). I'm also considering getting an ear piercing (maaaaybe nipple if I'm brave enough to endure that pain >.< ) and on occasion wear a bracelet and that necklace I mentioned earlier.

    Fate, I wish I could have short hair! but mine is too curly and I would get an afro. But yeah that's a common stereotype :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: I think pixie cuts are cool.
