Do you fit the stereotypes?

I fit a few of the stereotypes. I have loads of friends who are gals, and I can have a ten minute conversation with them about who we find hot, as well as a strange ability to make something out of nothing with a girl's hair.

However, I have no real desire to go shopping, have my girlfriends call me "slut," "whore," or any other word that makes me seem promiscuous. I also don't talk in Valley Girl language, I have an average amount of fashion sense, and I don't automatically shove my sexuality in other peoples' faces.

 

I don't know. None of the obvious stereotypes that anyone else would pick up on. But I ask myself about certain aspects of myself and wonder whether they are somehow connected to being gay and should have been clues when I was younger.

I used to love shopping for clothes for example. I have worked in arts-related fields most of my life. Little things like that.

 

No, not really.

 

The problem with gay and lesbian stereotypes is that there are so very MANY of them! Woman with short hair, no makeup? Dyke! Long hair and lipstick? Lesbian! Clean-cut guy with cologne? Fag! Big hairy guy? Queer! Leather jacket and chaps? Gay!

My partner and I both wear our hair long. She is built fairly athletic...me less so *sigh*. We both use makeup pretty regularly (at least at work and social outings)...but not always. I'm equally comfortable in skirts/dresses as pants/tops (not particularly fond of mens' shirts)...although I can also enjoy lounging in sweatpants or loose shorts. I can be assertive and outspoken...but polite, open-minded, and considerate of the feelings of others. I tend to speak out for the rights of *all* people...so yeah, LGBT is included in that, as are women...which technically makes me a feminist activist.

...so do I exhibit the stereotypes? Or is my stereotype ambiguity consistent with my bisexuality? LOL

 

Based on EC membership "hetero married with children" is a gay stereotype.

Go figure.

 

I don't really fit the stereo type.

 

I don't really know what the stereotypes are for asexual, but I do fit a few:

I was sexually abused.

I am a virgin.

I find the thought of having sex disgusting and scary.

And I do like cake.:lol:

 

Ah, no not really. I like 'girly' things, and I mostly have only female friends. I like makeup, fashion, etc, etc.

 

Some yes, some no. I have long hair, but rarely wear make-up. I'm usually in jeans and a t-shirt and a sweater. But lately I have been wearing more dresses/skirts. I love to bake, but I also like to paint.

Lately I've been trying to do/dress/act/look/think so I feel good. No matter if that makes me odd/gay/crazy/strange/weird.

 

I love shopping, but that's about it.

 

I have a few. When I point at something, my hand does this weird flourish. When I laugh, on occasion, it ramps up into a giggle. I like disco music (but then again, I grew up in the 70s, and I like most music from that time). I can't say as I became more masculine OR feminine when I came out, though.

None of them, and prefer guys who don't. They're hard to find.

 

I am rather feminine, and by my knowledge, that is a gay stereotype, so I suppose I conform. My consonants, however, are crisp, I assure you, and I am without lisp

 

Nope, I qualify as stealth gay. The only thing that might give me away is that I don't like watching sports

 

I'm like both a boy and a girl and a drag queen and a politician all at the same time. Gets confusing you know.

 

Is there a stereotype about being genderfuild?

 

I don't really have much that might make people think that I'm gay on the surface. I might monitor myself a little though, seeing as I'm not actually out though. I like to work with my hands and get dirty, like mainly guy stuff besides sports(love playing them, but I don't get time).

Really the only things that could fit a stereotype is I care a lot about other peoples feelings and am notoriously polite. I also can ball my eyes out at the right movie (cried in the theatres during Toy Story 3.. Thank god for the 3D glasses haha).

I generally like guys that have the same interests as me though, which is tough to find it seems, their all in the same situation as me haha. I've been trying online to no avail, but I don't give up. I figure my best bet is to find someone online. I can't get myself to come out to anyone personally to broaden my horizons though, just not able to alone. I'm closeted as hell but I would come out for the right guy in a heartbeat.. He just has to be here first :/.

 

Yeah...they tend to be rather genderfluid.

 

Yep, that's me!
