Do you match your stereotypes?

No, I do not match gay stereotypes, not sure what the bi ones are.. I can be greedy, however.

I don't match the stereotypes of being a Dutch guy (although I like talking about the weather). Don't like most of the food here, dislike soccer very much and don't have the same attitude like most people here.

 

Transgender
... I can't really think of any, for this.

Woman

- I like kittens/cats, which seems to fit into the stereotype of, the single old cat lady.

Caucasian/White
- Privileged in societal terms. This is kind of an automatic, in general.

- I enjoy the thirst for knowledge.

Bisexual
... I can't really think of any, for this, either.

Southerner/Kentuckian
- I use words like "y'all".

- I own several 'works', from so-called revolutionaries, i.e. Che Guevara, Huey P. Newton, etc.
- I stockpile various things: firearms, Ramen noodles, money, and so on.
- I have contingency plans, for a few what-if scenarios: zombie apocalypse, social unrest, a simple burglary or break-in.
- I have back-ups of several things: receipts (for tax purposes), USB drives (with various documents, programs, and files; for personal purposes), etc.

"Hippie"

Nope, maybe you can tell through my voice somewhat.

 

Shoegaze/alternative rock fan:

-Long, messy, unkept hair
-White
-Male
-DIY mentality
-Hatred of manufactured mainstream music

College student:

-Very left wing/liberal
-Lazy
-Principled

Stoner:

-Lazy (Again!)
-Laid back
-Lover of music
-Peaceful
-Environmentalist
-Habitual Cannabis user (Of course...)

Bisexual:

-There aren't any that I can think of

 

As a gay guy:

• I'm wear pretty fashionable clothes and have few inhibitions about gender expectations (not that I routinely shock people, which is hard in a liberal city, anyway).
• I can be sassy, but not in a Hollywood gay style.
• I tend to play the stereotypes more than they're actually true; my attitude to sport is initially "eugh, do you think I'd spoil my delicate homosexual sensibilities with sport," before actually admitting I'm fond of soccer and love volleyball and hockey.

As an Australian:

• I'm remarkably blunt when I want to be, though I don't consider myself stereotypically tactless or unsophisticated in the slightest.
• I definitely undermine the "country bumpkin" stereotype which a lot of Americans have; I'm hopless outside of city comforts.
• I tan really well

As a Finn:

• My humour can be quite dark and self-deprecating, and there's the same bluntness which I learnt from my family.
• I also find nudity in saunas totally normal and my consumption of coffee is ridiculous to some people.

As a Canberran:

• I can come across as a total snob, which isn't entirely untrue, even if I take steps to correct it.
• Also, I use the ridiculous Canberran student slang, which even we find hilarious. It's not really stereotypical, it's just something that you notice when you're here
• One of my parents is a bureaucrat, and I'm a student (in Australia, Canberra is known to contain only bureaucrats, politicians, and students)

As a student/teenager:

• I'm actually not bad with keeping schedules and so on. I have a productive form of procrastination (by doing other work to procrastinate from doing work) to make up for what every student goes through.
• Chastity is not one of my strengths.
• I get far less sleep than I should.
• Insecurity
• I spend an unhealthy amount of time on my computer and phone (sometimes simultaneously)

 

I don't really think I'm a stereotypical lesbian. I'm neither butch nor super femme. I'm sort of just me.

 

I'm a Filipino
-love playing instruments, especially guitar, and love to jam with friends
-enjoy playing/watching basketball
-am a romantic
-may talk to strangers (if they seem nice)
-very noisy with friends
-short

I live in Hong Kong
-always drink bubble tea/Starbucks
-wearing colourful/trendy clothing (only on occasions, trying to avoid it at all times)
-have school smarts (math and science)

I'm a girl
Nearly nothing, I don't like make-up, don't care of appearance/social life, prefer to listen than talk, likes dirt and sports, hate getting emotional....

I'm a lesbian
-I love flannels and prefer wearing baggy pants
-like to play video games? (not sure but i've heard a lot)
-like sports
-I have daddy issues (I don't know how's that a stereotype, but again, just found out)
-want to own a truck/motorcycle
-listen to indie-rock and Tegan and Sara

 

There is totally aspects of truth to stereotypes, people don't pull them out of their ass.

That being said, as you said , ha it's just not 100%, but stereotypes are a good way to get a grasp for what different kinds of people like.

Again it would NOT be bad advice to tell someone taking a trip to Canada to be MORE POLITE than USUAL and to SHOW AND INTEREST IN HOCKEY. It is much easier to start a conversation with a male in Canada if you can mention hockey, it's also easier to start a conversation here if you are polite about it at first.

As for gay stereotypes, they can be harmful because they are held in a negative light; being girly.....etc.

I think lesbian stereotypes may be the only ones that aren't 100% super negative cause they're reflective of male stereotypes which are still considered superior.

I'm also from a small town and I fit many stereotypes of North American small town folks.

I can't stand it when people dont say Hi when I do; even if they're in a bad mood, I can't stand people not being considerate of others, and I can't stand long lines and traffic. Most small town people that I've talked to hold very similar opinions, so you know that stereotypes can be true.

Every single person from a small town that I know is VERY FRIENDLY, and ALWAYS says "Hi" to basically everyone. Not saying city people aren't capable of doing the same, but it isn't held in such a high regard. When I'm in Toronto, I don't expect small talk with cashiers and random people on the street. If I'm walking my dog on my street, you better believe almost everyone that walks by is going to stop and talk to me, it's just the way small town people are.

 

I own too many plaid shirts that just piled up over the years, I have short hair, I have black, square-frame glasses, I never wear dresses, need I go on?

 

Gay Stereotypes : I'm kind of feminine. I love the color pink, I cry at sad movies, and I like shopping, plus people say I have a slight gay accent i'm so a Flamboyant i suck at expression emotions all of my friend's are straight woman

 

Like blaziken25, I did some research and I'm going to organize this post similar to the way she did.

Lesbian stereotypes:
• Lesbians hate men - I don't have a problem with men. Just because I'm more attracted to women doesn't mean I hate men
• Every lesbian relationship has a butch and a femme, because someone has to be the man and someone has to be the woman - I'm pretty feminine and I'm more attracted to feminine girls, so this wouldn't apply to me lol
• Lesbians all dress like men - I dress pretty girly
• All lesbians are masculine, hate make-up, shaving, bras and dresses - I wear make-up and bras and dresses and I tend to keep my body hairless except for the hair on my head
• All lesbians like camping - I do enjoy camping oops
• Lesbians are all into sports - I'm terrible at every sport; I'm not athletic at all
• Lesbians were all tomboys as children - Definitely not true, I've always been pretty girly
• It's just a phase - Nope, I've liked girls my whole life
• All lesbians have short hair - No, I don't
• Lesbians can't be friends with straight girls without wanting to sleep with them - I have a lot of straight friends, the vast majority of which I've never had any kind of feelings for that weren't platonic

Teenage girl stereotypes:
• Teenage girls suck at sports - I really do
• All teenage girls cake make-up on - I do wear make-up, but I put a reasonable amount on, I don't cake it on
• Teenage girls love shopping - True about me, I love shopping
• Teenage girls are always glued to their phone - Nope, I do like texting my friends but I don't do it all the time
• All teenage girls love leggings and uggs - I do like leggings; they're really comfortable, but uggs are so awful and ugly and I have no idea why people like them
• Teenage girls love Starbucks - Not really; I find it expensive and I don't really go often, and I only really enjoy their frappuccinos
• Teenage girls are obsessed with their weight and physical appearance - I'm not obsessed with it but I do make the effort to look good. As for my weight, I really don't care and I don't have to worry about it anyway since I have a pretty fast metabolism
• Teenage girls are stupid - I do pretty well in school, so...
• Teenage girls are obsessed with Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr - I don't have Twitter, I don't use Instagram a lot, but I do use Tumblr pretty often

I don't even remember what the stereotypes are anymore. I'm an artist, I like to paint. I like musicals and I'm studying clothing/textile (trying to get into fashion). I guess I am pretty self-conscious too, I go to the gym and exercise and eat healthy. Are those stereotypes idk

 

Female stereotype , feminine , emotional , wears make up girly long hair sometimes short can't play sports .

Me feminine , emotional wears make up girly , can't play sports to save my life , I was always picked last in gym . Long hair .

Lesbian stereotype all lesbians dress manly ,all short hair, flannel shirts , all lesbians don't like penetration , all lesbians hate men , lesbians play video games , all lesbians are vegetarians and lesbians like cats lesbians don't wear make up .

For me and yes as you can tell I'm a lesbian I don't dress manly nor am I manly , I have long hair ,I don't own any flannel shirts , I like penetration just not with guys but a girl with a strap yell yes . I don't hate all men but I do hate ass wholes , I love to play video games . I'm not a vegetarian in fact my parents have to force me to eat vegetables , I love meat , such as stakes , honey bbQ wings etc . I like cats so that's true, I wear make up almost all the time I do go natural sometimes but I love make you can catch me at the drug store buying make up or even your sephora .

 

As a gay man:
I LOVE musical theatre
I don't really consider myself a fashion freak, but I do keep up with it a little bit.
I can be pretty effeminate.
Hate sports... Yet, even more stereotypical, I love going to games bc cheering is fun.
I love cooking. (thats a gay stereotype isn't it?)
However, I break the mold in that I'm a military mechanic.

As a southerner:
If I travel outside of the south people tell me I have a southern accent, but at home many people assume I'm from the north due to my lack of an accent sooo???

I'm a libertarian:
I own some silver, and bitcoin
I don't like or trusts banks
I am a little more paranoid than I probably should be.

 

As a gay man:

• I had a lisp as a child. My parents got rid of that with speach therapy in elementary school. Every once in a while particularly "gay sounding" phrases still come out of my mouth unintentionally.
• I'm not obsessed with fashion, but I certainly follow it (I'm dating a former model after all), and some of my clothing is pretty fashionable and or colorful.
• People have occasionally accused me of having a slightly limp wrist.
• I don't mind playing some sports, but I can't stand watching any of them, and don't understand devoting entire Sundays to watching football games.
• I love musical theater, but probably far beyond the stereotypical gay love of show-tunes.
• I can be really emotional and bring a great deal of drama at times.

But overall, I'm not particularly effeminate like many of the qualities above would stereotypically suggest. All that is one small part of my personality, and not a particularly prominent part at that.

 

After thinking for a while I think I might actually be a stereotypical gay haha I don't mind it but wow I'm a stereotype?

• A bit of a horndog
