How close are you to your stereotype?

[rutger5000]

Rather close. I'm Dutch and I'm direct, rude, open, helpful and friendly. These aspects of me are really products of my culture, and you'll find them in most of my countrymen. Unlike other Dutch I'm not cheap, which is another true stereotype regarding the Dutch. It's not that we're greedy, we're just cheap.
Owh and like other Dutch I'm tall as fuck.

 

[Calibanbutcher]

American:
I'm not fat
I'm pretty smart with a 4.0 GPA

From wisconsin:
I love dairy and every single form thereof (cheese, milk, yogurt, etc)
I do not hate unions

Teenager:
I do not hate everything
I actually have a pretty good relationship with my parents

Nerd:
I'm pretty athletic, definitely not overweight
I have an amazing Girlfriend
I like hanging out with people
Despite being shy, I'm not an introvert.

So apart from the dairy thing, I don't fit many stereotypes.

I hate to say this, but you do fit the "awesome American" sterotype...
(A friend of mine came up with this. The way he saw it was, That americans are either fat, lazy, stupid, uneducated and all that jazz, or the exact opposite of that, athletic, smart, eloquent and well-educated.)


As for myself:
German:

I am punctual to the degree of usually being way to early.

I get incredibly annoyed if someone else isn't punctual.

I really like to plan ahead and hate it if people suddenly force me to change my plans / opt out in the last minute.

I am a stoic and rarely show emotions in public.

I am very polite but according to public opinion, (read: people I have met at one time or another) I am somewhat intimidating and ought to smile more.

I am somewhat reserved around people I just met.

Apparently I would look good in a uniform.

I am VERY intimidating when I am angry.

I am a miserable perfectionist.


And now for things that go against the stereotype:

I dislike beer.

I don't own any leather trousers.

I do have a sense of humour, though a dark and twisted one it is.

I am not a nazi-soldier who fought in WW2 and now wants to use his Nazi gold to revive Hitler and take over the world.

 

[Boris Goodenough]

now wants to use his Nazi gold

But you do have it?

 

[Calibanbutcher]

now wants to use his Nazi gold

But you do have it?

I am not at liberty to disclose any information regarding my possible possession of possible nazi-gold.
I can neither deny nor confirm that I have it.

 

[Johanthemonster666]

Hmm,
-I'm poor
-I have horrible sense of fashion (I would prefer to make my own clothes if I had the patience to learn how.)
-Can't dance or sing if my life depended on it.
-I can't say I have many female friends, and the ones I do have are not my 'fruit flies' (they'd deck me if I ever so much as jokingly referred to them 'GUURRRL FRIENDS')
-I hate bars and nightclubs, prefer more casual/relaxed surroundings and activities with friends.
-I hate most popular music these days, particularly the stuff that plays at the nightclubs/bars mentioned above.
-I don't watch TV very often or keep up with most current shows, entertainment news or even most internet/social network trends.
-Broadway and musicals don't excite me as much as they did when I was a kid.
-I have no interest in any long-term relationships (just got out of one) or the prospect of marriage (for the time being anyway). Building and maintaining close friendships and solidarity with others are my focus these days.
-Sex is lovely, but the way it's marketed, and people/bodies are looked at as malleable objects, or commodities turns me off to advertizement and products supposedly directed at my demographic.


I guess that misses the gay guy stereotype on most points, but I don't police peoples mannerisms or tell them how to act if they're decent human beings who aren't harming anyone. I may not be some cartoonishly hypermasculine 'straight-acting' dude, but then again neither are most normal guys.

 

[chinangel]

i'm a white canadian transsexual. Ngnn...

well lesse.

I hate hockey, and I'm definately a tomboy...not sure if there are any other stereotypes i am supposed to conform to :/

 

[Lynx]

I'm Swedish. It's 20 degrees Celsius outside (68F) and I'm sitting in my apartment shirtless because it's too damn hot...

 

[Aetera]

I'm a lesbian. I have short hair and a few flannel shirts, and I'm kind of a tomboy. I don't wear makeup. However, I do not own a truck and I know nothing about fixing cars. Also, I've only been in one fight before. I won, though. So, I fit some of them?

 

[NinjaSniperAssassin]

I was born in England and live in Canada.

I love tea and beer, am a huge hockey fan, say "eh" unironically, am very polite, don't tan well, and eat plenty of fish and chips and poutine.

I'd say I'm pretty close.

 

[Mrkillhappy]

Geek Stereotype

-fairly athletic
-enjoys going outside
-enjoys going to parties
-not very pale

[Artina89]

I am British and I love tea, my front teeth are also slightly crooked, but I have never had a filling.

I'm a scientist/computer guy and probably come across as the most unhelpful person ever to anyone who isn't exactly computer-savvy or scientifically literate. It's not like I do it unconsciously, it's just really easy to slip into using jargon when you use it for most of the week.

I'm a biochemist and I do the exact same thing. I don't do it intentionally, but I must admit I can get carried away, especially as I have wanted to be a biochemist since I was small so I am kind of living the dream right now.

 

[Korolev]

I'm half chinese, half british, so I guess I don't have a stereotype....
I have heard someone say that "Eurasian" people (that's a very bad term to use, actually, because it applies to ANYONE from the continent of Europe and Asia, not just mixed types), are "good-looking". I don't fit that stereotype, oh no, no sir. No siree bob.

As for my "Chinese" side - I am studious, I was reasonably good at Math when I was studying it in High School, my mother is obsessive and over-protective and demanding in terms of academic achievements and I'm studying medicine.

As for my "British" side - I don't like tea, but I do like reading books and I am overbearingly polite and stuffy. Sometimes I catch myself humming "Hope of Land and Glory/Pomp and Circumstance" and I have a tendency to repress my emotions and understate things. I also tend to love British comedy and dry documentaries.

 

[chinangel]

As a Canadian, I do say "eh" a decent amount and I love maple syrup. But no, I don't live in an igloo or own a pet moose.

WHAT!? Those Igloo's are government issued and how could you live with yourself not doing your civic duty by raising moose? Those moose aren't going to raise themselves you know!

As one canadian to another; Son I am disappoint.

My igloo melted in the ridiculous summer heat and I made delicious steaks out of my moose. Shhhh, don't tell Harper.

 

[SadisticFire]

Not close at all. Infact I now intentionally try to break some stereotypes now. I try to separate myself as far from them as much which has, in my opinion, made me a better person. I am always willing to try something and always act not serious for the sake of others, and just basically doing what an 'american girl' shouldn't do, because it's almost engraved in me that "don't be a stereotype"

 

[JagermanXcell]

I'm mexican. Problem with that is I don't fit the stereotype.
I can't speak spanish, only english
I'm pretty smart
I'm a legal 'EMERICAN
In fact people confuse me with a white person a lot of the time, they even call me white wash.

As a nerd its pretty self explanatory.
I like to talk of video games, movies, cartoons, and comics A LOT. Tends to turn people off, so my job in that department is an expertise.
Except for the looks department.
People say I look too handsome and well dressed to be a nerd...... I can live with that.

 

[GonvilleBromhead]

I'm a British. I attended a "public" (i.e. private) boarding school - albeit a minor one. A drink tea and consider coffee one step away from Bolshevism. I use Bolshevik as an insult. I have an eccentric hobby (military living history/re-enactment). I can only function in formal social settings, and feel out of place at casual gatherings. I like steam locomotives. I dress smartly every day (tie, sports jacket and flannel trousers, or a suit, and a newsboy cap or fedora) in vintage clothing - however, I prefer the American stuff (mainly 1940s) to the British, so it's more Jack Vincennes than Christopher Foyle. I used to live overseas (in Ireland, Los Angeles, and Egypt. My parents also spent some time in India), and have a slightly odd "expat" vocabulary because of it. I work at a prestigious university. I name my forum avatar after obscure Victorian war heroes.

Yeah...I'm fairly British.
