How do you defy stereotypes?

[Pix]

I understand lesbians are supposed to be into video games (and even James Bond movies?)...I'm not (and I tried to be), at all (though I do like tabletop role playing games and LARPs), not unless you count when I played Ms. Pacman all the time at a laundromat while washing clothes...

So what's a stereotype gay anyhow, spent 3 tours nam taking care of my men, never once thought of them as sex objects, unorganised, messy, just live life, James

So Republicans have more gay sex than you...?

hehe ;D

Maybe I should learn from the best and hone my toe tapping skills in public restrooms.

I've never been one to place myself in a box when it comes to stereotypes or cliches. Generally, I pay no attention to them at all..but for the sake of this thread: My sense of style is much different, I would think, than what you would expect from the stereotypical "gay person". I pretty much wear a lot of black (so gawth), and shy away from bright colors. I can't cook worth crap. I don't own an iron. Uh... I'm a bit of a gamer and computer nerd. I loathe drama and refuse to participate in it, in almost all cases. I don't say "thilly gooth" while flicking my wrist?

I dont' know.. I'm running out of stereotypes lol.

Really though, just be who you are. Forget stereotypes.

I think I won't be allowed to post here since I started Singing Defying Gravity (a song from a musical) right after I saw the Thread Title ._.

I'm not very neat......not fashionable...I hate shopping...I really don't have that feminine behavior.... I'm not the usual stereotypical twink.....uhm, I don't have lisp?

if you actively try to defy stereotypes then it doesn't really mean anything... It makes it as meaningless as the stereotype itself.

Things that make me, me don't make me against a stereotype, they're just things that are there. I'm a conservative, I hate clothes and fashion, I don't like things that are too loud, but if they defy stereotypes, that takes away all their meaning. It makes it into its own stereotype, doesn't it?

Well I'm a stoner gamer fag who likes to drink beer with his dears. I'm slightly camp but I can beat most people up cos it's just the way things are these days (martial arts stuff has helpd)

Umm yeah but other than that I enjoy rainbows and skipping down the street. n.n

i am absolutely obsessed with my hair, i am very choosey when it comes to clothes i like girly tv shows like desperate housewives and all that and me and some friends talk about guys a lot of the time and i always wear cute underwear haha i am constantly clean and put things into symmetry all the time (i have mild OCD they think)

but i go camping a lot where i dont care for my hair and i get constantly dirty and i absolute love it and i just wear whatever i want on camp and don't care.

I don't aspire to be a hairdresser i am going to study pharmacology and immunology at university next year and i will work in labs or something and i find religion quit interesting even though i have no strong belief either way

despite me being all of these things and acting very gay sometimes i still constantly get hit on by girls and asked out. and no gay guy believes i am gay when i tell the it always takes some convincing

so i suppose in times like this i think the stereotypes are fading away and i make jokes out of them with friends and just have a laugh about it. if that answers your question at all?!

Ways I'm not a stereotype? Um... I like horror movies (hate romantic comedies), listen to punk music, don't mind getting a bit messy. That's maybe it.

I like arthouse movies, listen to a lot of female singers and musicians (although rougher-edged ones, like Courtney Love), and I hate sports. I like going shopping for antiques. I suppose all of those things are somewhat stereotypes, but I don't really care. I don't purposely defy stereotypes just for the sake of defying them; I like what I like and am interested in what I'm interested in.

I have my masculine qualities and my feminine ones, and I kind of like the balance. That said, I don't think it's terribly obvious that I'm gay, at least unless you get to know me well. I have women flirt with me and hit on me rather frequently (if only all that attention was coming from men!)
