    Default Do you fit any stereotypes?

    Do you fit any stereotypes about where you live, hair colour, job, etc etc?

    I just realized how much I fit the Canadian stereotype in that I've apologized 6 times (seriously) in the past 20 minutes. This isn't unusual. Heck, I apologize if someone drops something like a meter away and I had absolutely nothing to do with it.

    I try my very best to avoid being labelled by any particular stereotype. For this reason, I really HATE being called a geek, nerd, boffin, or any of those words. My mood sinks ​if I am called one of them, even if it was meant to be positive.

    Born in the Netherlands - love weed, and I am a bit homoerotic
    Tall, wide & bald - I am angry & I like fighting
    Journalist - do have a penchant for getting myself into trouble

    then you look at the whole picture and nothing makes any generalisable sense
    This twenty-year-old boy was distinguished from childhood by strange qualities, a dreamer and an eccentric. A girl fell in love with him, and he went and sold her to a brothel...

    I think I fit into the "nerd" stereotype pretty comfortable. I love videogames, I'm obsessed with technology, I'm socially awkward, I've got odd interests (politics, architecture, etc), I can't deal with how great science fiction is, and I don't personally care for physical activity much.

    I'm a Southern girl.. I say "y'all", drink Budweiser, watch NASCAR, listen to Hank Williams Jr., and usually have no problems speaking my mind... Actually, that'd probably be more classified as redneck. Whatever. IDC.

    I don't think so, definitely not to a T, at least.

    My face turns red when I drink. I'm going to go into nursing. I'm not a great driver.

    Starting on my left with one, your number comes up, you go.

    I don't pay enough attention to stereotypes to know for certain.

    Apparently I eat like a southerner. While I was in Boston, we went out to eat at a buffet. The whole table stared at my plate when I came back to the table.

    It consisted of meatloaf, mashed potatoes and gravy, mac n cheese, and boiled cabbage or broccoli.

    It would have had beans and cornbread as well, but I didn't not trust them enough to believe they knew how to make cornbread properly. I tried a piece later just to make sure, and I was quite correct.

    Is "Intolerably Sexy" a stereotype?

    I probably fit the Northern English stereotype quite well.

    I drink lots of tea, I watch football, play indie rock and roll and drink far too much beer than is medically recommended.
