The stereotype I live with is that being an alcoholic I drink too much when I'm in drinking mode. :chuckle:

I'm a terrorist (a Taliban loving sleeper cell member to be exact). I'm a wife beater. My wife must wear her hijab or I'll take my fist and dip it in glue and then rub it in sand (because all Muslims love sand so it's only right) and and hit her like I was participating in the kumate. I oppress women. I hate Christians, and especially Jews. I hate America, and represent my country I come from (as many on here see me labeled Muslim and assume I must be from the Middle East).
It's good to see you confess. Now, if you'd only repent. :thumb:

Christian (has an imaginary friend in the sky);
Fundamentalist (believes very strongly in sound doctrine);
Muslim-hater (I speak against the demonic doctrines taught by the Koran);
Baby Boomer (born in 1955, so just on the cusp of this one);
Tree-hugger (I have a National Wildlife Federation Backyard Wildlife Habitat certification for our back yard), and;
I can't think of any others at the moment. :think:

I don't think I fit any stereotypes. I'm a highly individual and quirky guy.I'm my own man.
I'm a Jew,but not stereotypically Jewish at all.
I'm sort of liberalish, but disagree with a lot of liberals on many things. I can't be pidgeonholed in any way.

Sort of liberal? Not quite. You are like a cross between Rush Limbaugh and Fred Phelps, driving in reverse.

The thing with stereotypes is there usually is some truth to them.

For instance....

Women drivers.

:noid:

I can see why there's a stereotype about women drivers no doubt (and they often get on the one nerve I have left) but personally I drive like a Nascar driver and have never had an accident.

Many women do get on my nerve because they won't go at a stop sign when they have plenty of time, it may be a spacial/timing difference, though my husband does that too and I do go when I have time and can judge very well when I have time to get through a stop sign.

Women have less auto accidents than men statistically, so that's not such a bad thing.

Or another instance, guys who are webmasters are geeks. :D ;)



Stereotypes, eh? :think:

Well, I'm a homeschool mom so I obviously wear nothing but dress jumpers everyday and always put my hair in a bun. And each of my kids have won 6 spelling B's. My daughter is required to wear only jumpers as well and must wear braids in her hair. Sometimes on special occasions I'll let her wear a french braid. My boys all grease their hair and come it to one side. None of my kids are involved in any outside activities such as sports but if they do well each day during school we do allow them to read for 2 whole hours every night before they go to bed at 7pm. They have few friends because we don't do much socializing but we do have a great big van for those few occasions when we do have to go out in public.

Having studied philosophy for an extended period of time, I generally find myself out-of-touch with the external world and other people? :freak:

I would have to stereotype myself as the typical filthy-rich, ruggedly-handsome football star with the trophy wife.

Stereotypes: Do you fit into one? Which stereotypes do you believe have some validity?



I once had a woman tell me I looked like someone who would live in a commune....:squint:

I don't think I fit into a particular stereotype. For instance: I'm of Irish blood and yet, I'm a very cheap drunk :D

Now, that's not to say that other people don't stereotype me...we all do it...but usually their perceptions of me are wrong. I'm not stereotypical at all. And I like that. :)

There are several stereotypes of Aussie men that come to mind. But I can't think of any stereotypes for Aussie women. :idunno:

I guess I can fit into the intolerant right winger group. I can't think of any other way.

Grew up a proverbial military brat -

Don't know what that means - but some others must be out there?
Surely?

(I know, don't call you Shirley)

Uhm,
One side of family atheistic, socialist, populist Yankees, only second generation American.
One side Southern, Christian - ancestors going back to Revolutionary War.

sometimes may want to kill with love while butter not melting in mouth? :confused:
