Do any of you fit a particular stereotype (not necessarily about your sexual orientation) ? For instance, I've heard that Canadians ALWAYS say sorry, and that's so me. Even if it's not my fault, I'll say sorry. In fact, I was snowboarding in the Alpes, someone RAN INTO ME and I said sorry; totally wasn't my fault he hit me, I wasn't even in the way! He must have TRIED to hit me! Honestly... Also, I will admit I can be a dumb blond. Although in school I have excellent marks, outside of school I am as dumb as a brick. For instance, once I wanted to melt some butter so I put it in the microwave.... still wrapped in the tinfoil packaging... When the fire started I just stood there and yelled, "DAAAAAAAAAAAAAD! I started a fire!" It took me a few moments before I realised I should probably put it out. :/
I've done the butter thing on accident, too, and I'm not blonde. Thankfully, I'm not the only one. xD I don't really fit the stereotypical gay man. :l Other than maybe gossiping about boys.
Yes. I don't like sport, except for swimming but due to a condition I can't swim in public. :lol: Also, as an Asian, I like computer and tech stuffs, especially programming (which now I don't have time for). And the stereotype about the peepee lol.
There's a stereotype about us New Englanders that we're asocial and avoid talking to strangers in public (when people talk about being "alone in a crowd", I'm pretty sure they're talking about New England). And I totally fit that. If a stranger initiates the conversation, then it feels like I have no control over it, and that just makes me uncomfortable. Conversely, I like having my own space when I'm walking from point A to point B, my own time to think, reflect, listen to music, etc. And I don't like people interrupting that. As for gay stereotypes, I'm a total diva worshiper. My divas aren't the traditional ones by any means, but I'm definitely way more likely to revere, admire, and want to emulate a strong, confident woman than a strong, confident man. Some of the women I "worship" most are Otep Shamaya, Janelle Monáe, and Lindsay "Nostalgia Chick" Ellis.
Its dumb but i love cheese so everyone has to point out that I'm from Wisconsin so I'm born to love it with a passion lol...GO CHEESE(!)(Should be a dancing cow :roflmao
First time I heard the stereotype that Canadians say "sorry" often. I always thought that was just a normal sign of good manners (and I say sorry very often myself). Usually the stereotype is that we Canadians say "eh" at the end of every sentences (ironically I've met a woman who did just that). As far as other stereotype, I don't think I fit many, or at least that I'm aware of. I guess I somewhat fit the stereotype of an INTJ-type personality with the "death glare", but that's all I can think of.
I guess sometimes I fit the emo/scene kid stereotype but I don't fit the lesbian stereotypes well.its confusing cause I'm like the scene cheerleader; friends be like wtf XD
I fit the Asian stereotype when I was much younger, but not now. I kind of fit the stereotype of the lesbian (or in my case, a homoromantic asexual): I'm a short-haired, tree-hugger liberal who loves animals (especially cats); dislikes makeup, dresses, and high-heeled shoes intensely; and has a look that is probably best described as either soft butch or androgynous (but definitely boring either way :lol.
Vesper?! :eek: I thought you drowned! :eusa_danc On topic: I'm quiet and quirky. If asians and / or gay people have those stereotypes, then... I fit them.
Why would it have been a Casino Royale reference? Nothing I'd written would indicate anything of the sort... :eusa_liar It's a very cool name, in all seriousness. It's like the word 'leather' in human name form, and leather's like always cool in small doses.
Oh, sorry...I thought you were referencing the James Bond movie because Spoiler his lover Vesper Lynd dies by drowning in Casino Royale. Vesper means "night" or "evening".
ASFJKLy urvdutv There's a Pinocchio nose. I was being sarcastic (all in good humour), but I suppose it didn't come off strong enough. So... Yes, it was a reference to the movie. I did not know the name meant that. I wonder what its language of origin is... (Rhetorical, I'll find out soon) So, no need to be sorry. I should've been more obvious.
I'm from Brasil and I know that guys from other countries say that we have big butts. And I do have a huge butt. Also, I can say that I always wear sneakers and I'm a lesbian, so, my friend always says "oh, you are such a lesbian". Also, I'm also always with jeans and a t-shirt or a tank top, so, that's another thing. I think that's it.
Canadian ones: I say sorry all the time, I say "eh" a fair bit too Gay ones: I like to bake, I like Paramore (I've been told by a couple people now that that's really gay...) Portuguese ones: I talk with my hands all the time Engineering ones: I have a ton of classes every week but I'm probably one of the laziest students ever, cramming before every exam/assignments at the last minute
American stereotypes: I like/own guns. Washington stereotypes: I drink a TON of coffee, buy food from a co-op or farmer's market, and though I'm not very politically active, a lot of my beliefs are focused on protecting the environment. Lesbian stereotypes: I am really good with power tools, like sports, don't like dresses or wear makeup.
This, basically. I don't know if I fit any Australian stereotypes. I have a very precise, slightly British way of speaking instead of the more broad Australian accent, I'm not interested in Australian Rules football, I don't really like the beach and can't really swim. Any other Australian stereotypes out there? (On the accent topic, though - when I was in the US, I had one person tell me I had a thick Australian accent, and another immediately assume I was British.)
I drink coffee, I never learned how to drive a car, I jaywalk like its my job, I eat the best pizza and bagels in the world, 90% of my meals are takeout, Icould draw the subway map by heart, and im completely convinced I live in the greatest city on earth. Im a stereotypical new yorker for sure. Gay stereotypes I fit are cleanliness, organized, try to dress well, artsy, and a mamas boy.
