Stereotypes that don't apply at all:
Meant to be funny. Please have at it; I hope you'll enjoy the game. |

I'm a man who likes to look at women. I like tools I like cars I like bikes I can be rude/uncaring I'm a manager I work hard I like beer/scotch I fart at any time I feel the urge, except around the office. Stereotypes I don't fit: I cook I clean I'm not divorced I can't stand sports of any kind. I like antiques. I have a cat I don't like dogs. I don't cuss around women. I don't drink around children. I use a glass for beer or scotch. I don't go to the movies. I never watch talk shows I don't think I'm all that. I still treat women with respect. Open doors for women.

Stereotypes I don't fit...
I'm a woman, but I'm taller than most men, and when I've got into physical fights with men I've won far more often than I have lost. One man ended up in hospital. I've got a diagnoses of asperger's or high functioning autism, but I'm so crap at maths it hurts. I'm a loving and responsible mother, but I've got arrested more times than I can remember. I grew up on a farm where I learned to kill hens, skin rabbits etc, but I'm a vegan. I grew up in the British isles, but speak five languages well. (Most British people think that shouting loudly at foriegners is all the linguistic skills anyone needs.) I'm a Christian who doesn't hate gays or Muslims. Stereotypes I do fit. I'm a woman who absolutely adores babies, and goes cuckoo over their cute, adorable, cuddly natures. I'm an Irish woman who cooks enough to feed a small village with hardly any ingredients at all. I do that Irish Momma thing, where if anyone even appears to threaten my baby I go out and pull their ears off. I'm rubbish at spacial coordination (woman thing? dunno...)

I don't know what stereotypes I fit, but one thing that should enrage advertisers, especially on the Internet, is that whatever they do to track my preferences won't work; I have never bought anything on the Internet because of an advertisement. I actually don't even see the things! My eyes avoid them. It's called avoidance.

I'm a totally gentle soul, I'm ridiculously passive, the least little thing makes me cry, I have such a tender heart that if I find a roly-poly in the house I carefully take it outside and try to relocate it in the best roly-poly looking spot I can find...but my favorite TV show is SVU: Special Victims Unit! My #2 favorite TV show is CSI Miami!

Thanks, Lovebirds. This is kind of fun...
Stereotypes I fit: I am a woman who likes to talk about feelings and loves cats. If I go out I gotta take like 20 trips to the bathroom. What is it with women and their small bladders? Female... and love to browse any store for things for the home: sheets, towels, dishes, baskets. I like to cook and shop for groceries. I'm a lesbian that loves to visit hardware stores, crafts fairs and stores that sell crystals. Stereotypes that don't apply at all: I am a female but I am an excellent driver. I've never had a ticket or accident and people even compliment me on my parallel parking. I am a girl but don't wear skirts all that much. I am a lesbian... But not really into the Indigo Girls or K.D. Lang. (I'd rather listen to classical). I love beer and spicy food. I don't like coffee drinks. Just a strong cup with milk (no sugar). I'm an artist, but I love chemistry. I'm a girl but I like snakes and beetles. I'm a cat-lover but I also like dogs.

Fitting:
I'm a nerd (NERD ALERT! Muggle Higgie Nigen!) that wears glasses with an above A average. I'm a male teen that cracks up at the slightest fart. Not Fitting: I'm a white person that isn't racist. (Stereotype IMO) I'm a man that gets board at sport events. I'm a teenager that won't dance the bedroom tango until I get married.  I'm a teenage boy that gags at the sight of a naked body. (both genders) I can see somewhat well without my glasses.

Stereotypes I do fit
*I am a female that likes to fill my house with candle and incense, and I'll walk for one hour to a spot to pick flowers (there are jonquils that grow in a mass this time of year but it's a loooong walk to get to, and I'll pick as many as I can hold). *I dream about meeting 'the one' and expect him to be perfect for me and we'll have a great home and the best relationship and a dog named Max and everyone will be jealous of our perfect lives. *I am terrified of the dark and ghosts. *I whinge and complain about everything. But I'm perfect. It's everyone else that's crazy. *I am a pet owner that talks to my animals like they understand me when I tell them 'you've eaten already, no more! Oh okay...' *I have an extremely dysfunctional family that drives me insane. Stereotypes I do not fit *I am a vegetarian and I DON'T care if you eat meat, and am extremely sick of people sticking it in my face like I'm going to run away and have a cry. *I LOVE snakes and rats. *I come from a family that can have a very white Australian racist attitude, but I am EXTREMELY anti homophobic, xenophobic, racist, blasphemous. Just very anti-anti really. *I am a female that is willing to take someone on if they mess with me, but I’m not a bogan that goes looking for a fight or prides myself on having attitude. *I’m a virgin by choice but I’m not religious *I’m 23 and I don’t drink and smoke weed and go to clubs every weekend. |
