What stereotypes do you fit into?

Imagine being whisked away to... Delaware. "Hi, I'm in Delaware."

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Outside of PLAYING it, I do all that shit. And I wore plaid yesterday to a job interview. rofl.

Snowmobiling, maple syrup, being awesome as hell, all those other stereotypes work too.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Oh, I thought the being awesome as hell one went without saying, so I didn't bother to include it. I guess I should have, even though everyone would've already known.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I guess I'm a typical metalhead. I wear primarily black band shirts, often of bands few have heard outside of other metalheads, and blue jeans. I hate faded jeans, but I unfortunately own a couple. Didn't buy them myself, my girlfriend got them for me, however I will get rid of them and buy some dark pure blue jeans when I get some money. I despise most mainstream music, but I don't have too many metal head friends.

Let's see, what else about me...I'm white who lives in a predominately Mexican area and I'm perfectly comfortable with that. In fact, I generally prefer the company of Mexicans to white people, however the majority of my current friends are white. I also love Mexican food, none of that southwestern bullshit. I mean the real deal that's completely greasy, hot and just damn tasty.

I am pretty nerdy, but I don't typically follow a stereotype I suppose.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I'm English but think of myself as a Kiwi, been here 18 years which is long enough to qualify I think!
I have 3 kids but don't think of myself as a mum, more a taxi driver.
I hate any kind of housework or cooking and will leave such jobs as long as I possibly can. I only iron when there's nothing left in anybodys wardrobe.
I'm not into fashion at all, jeans tshirts and jandals will do just fine. I hate spending money on clothes for anyone but if the kids mention a new game they want I'm at the shop before they've finished speaking.
Their mates all think I'm supercool as we have nearly every console (missing the xbox 360 and the Dreamcast but give me time!) and a whole bookcase full of games, and I know how to burn games and dvd's - although of course I don't actually do that!
I don't work and spend most days playing a game, surfing the net or spending my husband's wages online or at the gameshops. I'm also addicted to caffeine and nicoteine.
Pretty boring, really

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

FELIPE NO

I'm British;

- I'm highly cynical
- I'm quite stoic too, the classic British stiff upper-lip
- I'm well-mannered, well, fairly polite anyway
- I'm far more reserved than extroverted
- I guess I have a posh accent (in fact people who live in the same town as me have noticed it)

One thing I'm not in the slightest however is patriotic. I also don't drink warm beer >.<

How ya doing, buddy?

I like science and math.

I'll just quote Hyde on some stuff...and then add some more.

I love techno, DDR music and that stuff.
I love sushi and stuff similar to that.
I'm a computer science and physics major (with a math minor).
I love anime and my computer.


And...every girl I've liked is white or mixed (white/asian), which is interesting...

And sadly...I can't break dance either...but just to be Asian, I shall learn. GOAL FOR 2007!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I still have every single cent of the money I got for my Bar Mitzvah. More, actually, thanks to low-risk investments.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm asian girl
- I'm clumsy
- I can't cook, sew or anything
- I'm a RPG gamer
- Read manga about 3 vol/wk
- Love game and anime OST
- I'm an easy type which never break the rule in any matter
- I've to wake up at 6 am everyday (really)
- My all day ends up in hospital till ~5-10 pm

Capo, that's going in my sig right now.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'm Asian, and I'm a bad driver.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I don't fit into any stereotype. I am my own person and I am unique. I am not into the crap most people my age are.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I probably fit into some people's stereotypes about "weird/goth" teenagers in California.

-I have piercings.
-I wear a lot of black shirts (though I don't own any black pants)
-I had purple hair for a little bit.
-I used to wear a black leather collar every day.
-I read about serial killers and haunted places.
-I used to love corsets and still wish I owned one.

Not so typical for a "goth" girl.
-My hair is naturally blonde and, though I did dye it bright colors a few times, I leave it blonde. I've never tried to dye it black.
-I don't hate my life and I don't want to die.
-I don't write poetry. In fact, I hate English. I'm a Math and Science kind of girl.

FELIPE NO

I'm skinny 19 year old white guy. I dont know if I fit into stereotypes. But my friend who is gay, said I'm a stereotypical twink for gay ppl. I didnt know what to make of it. ;_;

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I don't know. People often say I'm weird... but in a good sense! I have always been different from most, so I really don't think I can be classified as "stereotypical". But then again, thinking that you're not a stereotype is quite stereotypical in itself.

Quick facts:

24 year old white male
Pretty attractive for being a video game geek
Speaks Swedish, English and Japanese fluently
Majoring in business
Currently single, but working on it
Knows how to cook (and I mean more than just spaghetti!)
A sucker for chocolate

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Stereotypes are so numerous now a days, that if one doesn't fit into one, they can just pick a stereotype and change themselves to match it. At least, that's what we tell ourselves.

I guess I'm just a 'nerd', though my fascination with video games has waned a lot lately - and I suppose anyone on a board called 'Gamingforce' could be called that, so nevermind, I guess.

I'm a hypocrite. Is that a stereotype?

Considering that many people are hypocrites it could, in a sense, be defined as a stereotype. However, I would personally put it in another category based on "norm", saying that it is normal to be a hypocrite nowadays. Then again, what is normal?

I'm appalled that you would bash the Boards! You clearly have no taste in music. Well, bonus points for Rush, but I stand by my statement.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Asian Nerd:
- majoring in Commerce, minoring in Linguistics
- loves videogames (RPGs, beat games, fighting games)

- addicted to the internet (GFF, Ebay, random articles)
- would rather play games that party/go out
- enjoys JRock and VGM thoroughly

I don't see how I could get any more stereotypical.

How ya doing, buddy?

I play videogames. CSS should do it.
I am trying to get into med school after I graduate.

I love politics, art, history and foreign languages.
I am 6"0.
I can speak my language.
I actually want to go back to Asia.

I'm glad you've managed to see the point so clearly.
