Confession: What stereotypes fit you?

[Gothic Sponge]

I'm home sick and i'll admit (as a man) i like to be mothered when i'm ill. Someone bring me jucie!

I also don't like to ask for directions when i'm lost. My testosterone takes over and it becomes a quest!!! I'm an idiot.

Those are the only 2 stereotypes!....That i'm aware of....

[djeseru]

1. The redhead's temper.

But few and far between.

Hope you get to feeling better soon! :hug:

[Magrittes Pipe]

2. I am a hot-tempered Irishman who drinks a lot.

:beer::grr:

[JohnKleeb]

9. youre Irish?

I always thought you were German or something like that.

[Magrittes Pipe]

13. German-Irish

In other words: I drink like a fish, I am very angry (but mostly at myself), and I enjoy bizarre sexual practices. But most of all, I fucking hate the English.

[JohnKleeb]

16. ahh so youre like my dad

Funny, my dad is German-Irish and doesnt hate the English, I seem to do though, don't tell them that though, heh I like some of their music but being part Irish I have it out for them. Now I dont know my dad's sexual practices and I'll be honest, I dont wanna know. German-Irish though is a nice combination, oh and my dad is angry man a lot even after he's quit drinking.

[Magrittes Pipe]

20. I like the combination well enough.

Oh, and don't worry -- I don't hate specific English people. I just hate "The English." :P

[JohnKleeb]

23. you know what I mean

I think that Margaret Thatcher is a fucking bitch. Good thing some of the English have a sense of humor, I was saying how ashamed my Irish great grandfather would be to know that his great nieces married English guys. Don't have a problem with the Scots though, though I wish those kilt wearing bastards would have stayed Catholic.

[Magrittes Pipe]

28. It's really all the orange that bugs me.

Truly a dreadful color.

[JohnKleeb]

well thats the fucking dutch actually, William of Orange was a Dutch fuck

Yeah its uooglie but I hate them because of their anti Catholicism, they're just mad because we have a pope and they dont, and we actually like alcohol instead of frowning on it.

[Misunderestimator]

32. Another one... I'm half-Dutch, but I love to spend money...

Though I am a bit of a worry-wart about financial security. :shrug:

[JohnKleeb]

36. I dont know too much about the Dutch

Interesting people though, Dutch Americans are the most republican voting bloc in the country, many belong to the Dutch Reformed Church and are fundy like yet back home in the Netherlands, you have very liberalized laws on physican aided suicide, drugs, etc.

[Misunderestimator]

41. Yes, it's odd, no? My theory is that Dutch Americans...

came to the US to escape the liberalism in their homeland, ergo, they are greedy assholes. My father was one for the longest time. Even voted for Bush in 2000. But he's voting KERRY this time!! Woohoo.

As for Dutch stereotypes... I was referring to the frugality (Dutch Treat).

[JohnKleeb]

45. I am not big on that era of history

like around the settlement times in the 1600's. Ive read that the Dutch were actually one of the first democracies with a modern economic system. Glad your dad is going for Kerry.

[Misunderestimator]

47. Oh I didn't mean that far back.... My father emigrated in the late 1950s

[JohnKleeb]

50. ahh that could be it

My political almanac has that theres one congressman in Michigan, Pete Hofestra I believe who is actually form Holland and came to America in the 50's. Kinda strange to immigrate then because Holland has never really had any political persecution and natural problems like the Irish potato famine.

[Misunderestimator]

52. They were persecuted extremely during WWII

My father's father was burgermeister of the town where they lived and was in internment camps in Germany for most of the war. They definitely suffered political persecution.

As for the immigration, I'm sure it was due to financial reasons. He made a lot more money here than he could have made as a physician there.

[JohnKleeb]

56. I mean by their own people

You know like a dicatorship ala Stalin, Hitler, etc. Of course, I know the Nazis were very bad people to them and that the Dutch Resistance was as big as the French resistance was and helped coordinate Operation Market Garden.

[EstimatedProphet]

73. Half Dutch here...not greedy

and not a Republican.

[Misunderestimator]

78. Cool... that makes two of us! :)

:hi:

[smirkymonkey]

83. Same here!

I have always seen the Dutch as very tolerant, "live and let live" types of people.

[Misunderestimator]

84. Now THAT one is absolutely true

My father, though difficult in many, many ways... has always been accepting of my sexuality, from day one. After seeing and being in relationships with so many others whose parents don't accept that, I am exceedingly lucky in that regard.

[tigereye]

38. speak for yourself about the bizarre sexual practices

since when did being Irish and/or German explain "bizarre sexual practices." I think that is just you, al, it has nothing to do with ethnicity. ;)

sorry John that wasn't directed at you...

[Magrittes Pipe]

40. You have apparently never been exposed to German pornography.

[JohnKleeb]

42. you mean like that movie Cartman's mom was in

The Schizer video?

[Magrittes Pipe]

48. Scheisse is not often a component of German porn.

Only the "gonzo" stuff. ;)

Still, by American standards, a lot of Central European erotica is... well... "extreme."

[JohnKleeb]

55. ahh-hah

[tigereye]

51. no

hmmm

[eyesroll]

3. Lots...

I'm an indecisive Libra.
I'm a, um, frugal Jewish person.
I'm a nerd, so of course I have to suck at sports, too.
I'm PMS-ing.

And so forth...

Oh, and yes -- I am a wine-swilling, brie-eating liberal, though I don't drive a volvo.

[Dogmudgeon]

4. Fat computer programmer

No beard, though.

No Trek fetish, no cat fetish, no comic-book fetish.

Just fat. That's enough.

--bkl

[La Lioness Priyanka]

5. latte-liberal

i really fit all the requirements of that stereotype

[pagerbear]

6. I'm a big, neurotic fag

...who likes show tunes and opera. But I didn't get the decorating gene. Or the fashion gene. Or the gym bunny gene, alas....

[Feanorcurufinwe]

7. I'm 'weepy and liberal'

I get all choked up and sentimental about all sorts of things...

[Commendatori]

8. Sports addict, hostage to TV during football Sundays and hockey playoffs.

My significant other got to decorate my place, so she has to put up with this. :)

[skygazer]

10. I'm a perfectionist Capricorn

Other than that, I don't fit many stereotypes. I'm a woman who loves to tinker on cars, run heavy equipment and work with my hands. I hate to shop and I'm bored to death by so called "chick lit" and "chick flicks". But I do have a thing for shoes... I have about 40 pairs of cute heels though I'm usually wearing tennis shoes or work boots.

[redqueen]

22. I hate to shop, too

except if it's not for me... I love to shop for other people.

And I'm also not girlie on the shoe thing. I own 3 pairs of shoes - work shoes, sneakers and sandals. I usually wear the sneakers to work anyway.

[Mara Steele]

11. I'm a lesbian, and I wear flannel...

Well, I live in the northwest, it gets pretty chilly here!

:D

[soothsayer]

Me, too---plus I ride motorcycles and smoke cigars (not at the same time)

but those HONESTLY have nuthin' to do with my lesbianism, which is such a wee part of me. I don't look like a stereotypical lesbian (you know, I don't wear the uniform---that ain't my look). I just look and act like ME....!

[Mara Steele]

37. lol, soothsayer!

You should try double tasking with the cycles and the cigars, I'd totally dig it!!

:D

And I'm the same way. I'm just ME, damn it!!

Would like to pick up a motorcycle one of these days, too!

:hi:

[soothsayer]

64. I've seen it done, but I just figure it will burn my cigar down too

quickly...! Of course, I've done it bicycling once, but it really annoyed all the health fanatics on the bike path, so that one time was it.

[liontamer]

91. oooh

hot!

[liontamer]

92. I'm the youngest, and an Aries

So yes I am a big baby

[redqueen]

12. Hot-blooded/Fiery Latina

Indecisive/Romantic/Flirtatious Libra

Bitchy Female

Gossipy Admin/Secy (I've tried to stop, really)

Nitpicky/Overprotective Mother

can't think of any more just now...

[eyesroll]

54. ahhh....so you're a Libra too?

I'm not into astrology but I fit most of the basic Libra traits.

[redqueen]

61. Yess'm

Not into it now... used to read some on it when a friend was waaaaay into it. Weird how some of it seems credible - but I would wager if one were to do a statistical analysis it might turn out to be mostly hit or miss.

[Misunderestimator]

14. I guess I am a bleeding heart liberal

Other than that... I really can't think of a stereotype that fits me. I'm sure others could but... :shrug:

[Magrittes Pipe]

15. Oh come on. I'm sure you're a very good softball player.

j/k :evilgrin:

[Misunderestimator]

17. LOL.... nope

In fact, never played sports in HS, was always picked last for dodgeball in grade school, and was a bookish geek and a musician.

Oh... and I never wear flannel, don't own a Subaru, I live in a gated golf course community, and don't own a pair of Birkenstocks.

Maybe I'm the Anti-Stereotype. :D

[Magrittes Pipe]

18. Can you fix your engine?

I'm at a loss. :shrug:

Maybe you're one of them there "lipstick lesbians." :P

[Misunderestimator]

21. Hmmm.... you might have something there...

I guess I USED to be a lipstick lesbian... but haven't worn a dress in many years. I do wonderful tile work (have retiled 5 bathrooms and a kitchen), and can replace toilets, sinks, and faucets, as well as installing lighting and fans with little effort.

As for cars... have changed a tire in the past, but would rather call AAA now. I don't like to get dirty :)

[Magrittes Pipe]

25. Ah-HA! Plumbing is your forte!

I guess this means you are one of those "tool dykes" they talk about. I've never actually met one in person, as most of the lesbians I know are just normal women. Odd. :P

[Misunderestimator]

26. ROFL You are too funny!!

On edit... there are some areas where I am a stereotype... you can ask NSMA for the details :evilgrin:

[Gothic Sponge]

29. Is driving a Subaru considered a lesbian stereotype?

Cool! I'm a lesbian! ;)

[Misunderestimator]

30. LOL... That's what misinformed01 told me anyway...

She's a lesbian too by the same criteria! (though she's probably got more appropriate equipment to be one than you, I would guess :evilgrin:)

[Gothic Sponge]

35. True

However, a visit to a good doctor and a few thousand dollars later....I could be a hot woman! ;)

[geniph]

77. Me too! AND I wear sensible shoes!

I am, however, lacking in the large-dog and girlfriend department. I'm willing to be flexible about both, however.

[Pithlet]

87. So am I!

Although it's a station wagon, so that might deduct some points.

[JohnKleeb]

19. ok

Like Hedges I got Irish-German blood so I like to drink and I got a temper, and a disliking of the English. I also swear a lot which may have something to do with that.

[redqueen]

27. My mom is Irish-German

with some American Indian. Never knew swearing was related to that - maybe that's where I get it from. :)

[JohnKleeb]

31. well I did the math

My dad is Irish-German, he swears a lot, and I do too, I dont think I got that from my mom's side which is Slovak-Slovene, though my mom's dad loves to yell and talk and curse, I see him today, Mom and I guess didnt inheirit his talkativeness, she like I was quite shy.

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. I am a s-mother. The type that loves to take care of my family

ala June Cleaver (although the house is not as clean).

I fit the profile of the average rabid Packer fan.

[HEyHEY]

33. Drink too much and am a professional writer

I'm Irish

[Gildor Inglorion]

34. A know-it-all Virgo, who expects everyone ELSE to be perfect...

a middle-aged *ahem* gay man with the emotions of a 15-year-old girl.

[fudge stripe cookays]

46. Virgos make me crazy.

Good thing there's a couple hundred miles between us! :P

[Terran]

39. I missed most of the gay stereotypes, but

I'm vain
I like to clean
I cry at movies
I have good taste in decor

As a Scorpio:

I'm horny all the time

As a man:

I'm horny all the time
I hate to shop

[fudge stripe cookays]

43. Overdramatic, have to be the center of attention...

Leo.

Chick who likes chick lit and chick flicks. And I LOVE shoes, (can't wear anything but flats anymore, though) :-(

Full of self-loathing (but I think that's the German in me making the French in me feel incredibly intimidated)

Writer by trade, on the edit CONSTANTLY. Nothing will irk me more quickly than bad grammar or bad spelling.

Oh. And a definite latte' liberal. I spend at least half of my time in bookstores or drinking coffee. :D

[Misunderestimator]

44. As a Cancer... I like a comfortable home and a loving relationship.

I guess I do have a few stereotypes. :)

[asthmaticeog]

49. I'm a Jew who reads all the time,

needs to wear eyeglasses and has a mile-wide neurotic streak, which I vent with self-deprecating humor. Plus I work in print media, and my mother really gets on my nerves. I'm pretty much straight-up your textbook heeb. Small nose, though.

[mrboba1]

53. Male who doesn't ask for directions (much)

I also loooooove watching/ tracking sports and I couldn't care less if the Lifetime networks dropped off the face of the Earth tomorrow....

[mrboba1]

58. oh. and I think about sex a lot!

like a whole lot!
:evilgrin:

[NewJeffCT]

59. Oh, that one applies to me as well!

Forgot that in my post below.

[NewJeffCT]

57. I'm the opposite of most stereotypes

Italians are supposed to be hot-tempered, passionate people... but, while I am half Italian, I'm pretty laid back & easygoing. My other half is Polish, which is stereotyped as dumb...and I'd like to think that while I'm not quick-witted, I'm pretty smart.

Both Italians & Polish are supposed to be religious...but I'm an atheist.

I work as an accountant, which is generally a conservative profession... yet, I'm a liberal. I work as an accountant though my best subjects in college were English & history.

Liberals are supposed to be drug-using, long-haired hippies... yet, I've never used drugs and always keep my hair short. Heck, I rarely even drink alcohol.

(Though, on second thought, Italians are supposed to be hairy as well, and my facial hair & the hair on my head does grow like a weed. I'm just happy I have no back hair.)

Edited to add - I also used to play Dungeons & Dragons, but I'm not totally inept socially. (and, I'd still play if I had the time) So, that is also the opposite of the stereotype.

My wife, on the other hand, fits nicely into that 'Chinese Dragon Lady' stereotype.

[DemWitch]

60. Gay Male Gemini Witch

I have very few of the sterotypes of being a gay man. Back "in the day" I was really, really, REALLY, promiscuous though. While I like nice surroundings, my mobile home is furnished from the Home Decor/Bed and Bath section on my local Super Wal-Mart. I have no fashion sense, at all. I can rebuild an engine, but can't figure out how silk flowers go in a vase without looking like they went through a tornado. I like grey, blue, tan and white. Not slate, azure, ecru and bone.

As a guy, I'm a whiney ass biotch when I'm sick. The remote control does have all the power of the universe in it. I tailgate and tend to be a bit of an agressive driver.

I believe that all women should be subserviant to men, and quit their petty ass bitching and moaning about equality and other such crap. Just shut up, get your ass in the kitchen and bake me a pie bitch. (just kidding, want to see if you're paying attention... if I really thought this, I would be walking around with a size 8 slip on that belongs to my Mom up my ass)

As a Gemini, I do have two personalities. I have the bleeding heart, can cry at the drop of a hat with something sad, and I have the warrior, ready for battle injustice the next second. I have some very conservative ideas, and some very liberal ideas. I look at both sides of an argument to the point of madness. I can go from saint to bitch in a blink of an eye if given reason to.

As a Witch, I have a deep sense of living my life honorably. I try not to be dishonest, and when I am, for whatever reason, I beat myself up over it. I treat people with respect, until they disrespect me. I take responsibility for caring for Mother Earth. However, I do have a old, gas guzzling, oil leaking SUV, but that is necessity, not vanity. I honestly believe that everyone has a good part to themselves, even though it may be buried deep, deep, deep, down inside.

[redqueen]

62. Re: pgh 3

HAHAHAHAHAH! I was really going for that at first! Was getting ready to go off, then finished reading. Good one!

[DemWitch]

69. levity makes life lovely...

:)

[Lavender Brown]

63. I'm Italian, and I talk with my hands

A lot of people do that, though.

[maveric]

67. I do that too. Although I'm only 1/2 Italian.

My other half is Irish and I like to drink.

[flamingyouth]

65. I'm a Volvo-driving, Birkenstock-wearing liberal

Who lives in Seattle. In a renovated Craftsman bungalow. And I have three cats. And I subscribe to The Nation. :D

[fudge stripe cookays]

71. I WANT A CRAFTSMAN BUNGALOW IN SEATTLE!!!!

No fair. :-(

[flamingyouth]

72. Start saving now!

Check out our housing prices here. :swoon:

:hi:

[fudge stripe cookays]

93. I have! That's the problem!

Our perfectly nice 3 bedroom house (with cathedral ceilings, window seats, plant ledges, and jacuzzi tub) in the Dallas suburbs was only $105,000!

But it's Dallas. I mean, would YOU want to live here? Not many people do.

There's just something about older homes that makes me happy. So much history and character. I am jealous!

FSC

[maveric]

66. Grouchy, nuerotic, east-coaster.

I'm in SoCal and people dont understand why I drive like I do and why I become irate in lines at the bank.

[jonnyblitz]

68. i have the gay stereotype of hating sports.

I DON"T like showtunes and wearing womens clothing but sports BORES ME TO TEARS!!!

[qwertyMike]

70. Easy

Native Irish
Alcoholic (Recovering)

No bad temper though, lover not a fighter.

[rbnyc]

74. I went to an elite college and I'm a snob...

...about art, movies and music.

I'm bisexual and I'm kind of a slut. :evilgrin: (Or I have been in the past.)

There's probably more, but those are the 2 I'm very aware of.

[CBHagman]

75. This is the best thread! Thanks to all of you.

I've been laughing all the way through this thread.

As for me, well, I'm what's known as a refugee from the law of averages, in many respects, but I do have my stereotypical side. To wit...

*former New Jerseyan and still a Springsteen fan
*liberal who listens to NPR and donates to the local PBS station
*Catholic with almost endless sense of guilt
*part Irish and own a stack of humorous/bawdy/melancholy/patriotic Irish music CDs
*part Scandinavian and no stranger to the depressive streak

[geniph]

76. Think of a stereotype of a redhead or an Irishwoman

or a redheaded Irishwoman, and there I'll be, staring right back atcha. I work at it. I find it keeps people off my back. :evilgrin:

[IronLionZion]

79. I'm a stingy Indian bastard

and I can eat stuff so spicy it would make you cry. But processed meal bars and really fake food wreak havoc on my stomach.

I'm a guy who doesn't ask for directions but uses mapquest liberally. Sometimes getting lost can be fun unless you're late for something.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

80. I do have a shoe and purse fetish

and as much as my inner progressive frugal save the earth granola earth momma FIGHTS my inner Dallas-born and bred diva, sometimes the diva wins.

God I love shoes and purses.

[ronnykmarshall]

81. Two words

Show tunes!

[Lisa]

82. An Asian female who wears glasses and likes to read ...

But I'm not good with computers, and had to work pretty hard to pass in Calculus and Statistics.

And I'm not "submissive" either -- as the guy who asked me if I were into bizarre sexual practices found out, when I stomped on his foot (with my hiking boots).

Oh -- I was born in an industrial town known for its lack of culture/arts, and sure enough I love doughnuts and wonder what the heck people see in the "Cremaster" series.

[MisterP]

85. overanalytic solar Virgo

half-Bavarian who likes march music.
eco-geek who loves peace and being green.
"librul" who despises neolibs, neocons, neoimps, and neocols.
Uhhh....
Argh! It's all a lie! I fit no stereotypes! I love science but compare Mike Shermer to Santorum! I'm diffuse and my mind is monstrously complex and can focus on diddles of things! I revere Cartoon Network and read tedious works on medieval and 17th-Century intellectual atmospheres! I read about asteroid belts and Yates's views on Giordano Bruno! People claim I'm rational and I snicker into my Llewellyn's books! Eeeee!

[pbg]

86. I'm of Russian extraction

...and am incapable of feeling happy for more than three minutes at a time...

[Pithlet]

88. I love clothes, shoes, and makeup

and I love shopping for them.

[Shananigans]

89. As a female, middle child, Taurean...

As a woman I absolutely hate to fix things and, although I am completely capable, will whine and bat my eyelashes for as long as it takes to get someone else to do it.

As a middle child, I crave attention like no other.

Like the characteristics of the Taurus sign, I am extremely loyal and dedicated and will "Willingly and loyally follow a leader (I) trust." I am a faithful and generous friend, who loves easily and makes friends with everyone. I hate being in debt, love to argue, am extremely opinionated and stubborn and at times obstinate and "exasperatingly self-righteous". I also have a bit of a temper when provoked, but usually only show that side to those I am extremely close to. (Lucky them).

I am definately NOT ultraconservative, uncreative or self-centered, though.

I used my definition of Taurus from this website: http://www.vangelis.com.au/zodiac/taurus.asp

[Zomby Woof]

90. JVC, Sony, or Pioneer

My favorite types of stereo.

[GreenPartyVoter]

94. Chubby stay-at-home mom who is dangerous at certain times of the month.

[Wapsie B]

95. Stubborn German

who likes beer & brats. Lutheran who beats himself up everyday, daily repentance and all that. Iowan who talks slow and deliberate and doesn't mind the smell of pigshit.
