    My sterotype...fat and have no sex drive

    Me too. I tell the man that if this is my libido on sleep mode, he's in for it when I lose the weight.

    Seeing as I couldn't think of anything for stereotypes that I DO fit into... I thought I'd try the opposite. :huh:


    I'm Canadian and I can skate but don't like hockey. I'm gonna get beat like a rented mule for that one.

    I'm a guy and I hate beer. Still Canadian and in even more trouble now.

    I'm over 300 lbs, like to watch cartoons, work in IT, play RPGs, and collect Godzilla toys. Obviously I live in my parent's basement - NOT. I'm just a nerd.

    If I'm a nerd and weigh that much, I must be out of shape and in need to lose 200 lbs.

    Everything else is just breaking the standard overweight/obese stereotypes:

    I am not slow.
    I am not inflexible - being able to kick a target 6 feet high is proof enough of that.
    I am able to see my toes standing up - and other parts as well ;)
    I can do a cartwheel, and can get up off the ground from a prone position without needing my hands.
    I am not "soft" in the middle.
    I can sit in an aircraft seat and buckle the belt without need of an extender.

    I'm a girl who would trade high heels for running shoes any day of the week. I don't drink fruity drinks (wine is okay sometimes) and will always choose a single malt scotch, whiskey, or beer instead. I'm a huge baseball fan and will to talk to my brother for hours about anything baseball. And just because I'm 28 and single does not make me a lesbian or a b****.

    Because I'm a feminist I must hate kinky sex and fashion. WRONG!

    I'm an atheist and I don't hate religious people. Except when they infringe on my human rights or stand outside of Planned Parenthood harassing women coming to get their yeast infections treated.

    Proud Southerner and I'm not illiterate, married to my cousin, don't have a country accent, and I don't like collard greens. AND I HATE COUNTRY MUSIC.

    To me, a feminist is anyone who thinks men and women deserve equal rights. A man can be a feminist. It's not reserved for man hating ball busters, certainly.

    Because I'm a mother, teacher etc I must be easily shocked. They do not know where I have been, what I have done, who I have known (which is probably for the better :laugh:).

    that I'm flawed as a woman because I don't want to use my uterus for babies :)

    I'm not the only one then?!? Amazing, cause to hear my family talk I thought I was.

    My family has finally given up now that I'm 34! My S-I-L literally told me I was screwing up my life because we have a uterus for a reason. oy vey... now she's the one with a messed up kid, karma came attacking

    that because I work out, I must only be attracted to guys who also work out. I'm attracted to personality, not a body.

    That "Fifty Shades Of Grey" is anywhere close to being real BDSM.

    I'm somewhat thin. And I don't need a sandwich, or a burger. I eat plenty of them.


    I'm a parent and as much as I love my children I do not think they poop gold, or will cure cancer.

    THIS^^^

    I'm very petite and short; therefore people always assume that i am 16 and that when i'm out with my kids i'm the babysitter.
    No, Fool! I'm 27 and a Mother.

    Also, since i'm hispanic i must love alcohol.....seriously?

    This. I could see the stereotype being, "Feminists must hate men," because I see that enough on here, let alone off the comp... but I've never heard of a stereotype linking feminists to vanilla sex?

    I'm a blonde, but I am incredibly smart.

    I am bisexual, but I don't go sleeping around with both sexes all the time. And I'm NOT Straight one time and Lesbian the next.

    I'm a good driver. I only drive like a grandma to stay safe.

    I love to dress up and be girlie, but I love W.O.W and Manga along with D&D, Minecraft, and Legend of Zelda more.

    I'm tall, but I have never liked basketball.

    I was in track and field, but I only did shotput and discus.

    I am a girl, but dammit I know how to change my own oil, change a tire, and check and replace all of my fluids, SO STOP OFFERING. (I know most people are just being nice, but some auto think that girl's couldn't possibly know how to work on their own vehicle.)

    I live in Arkansas, but I'm not a dumb, drunk Redneck hillbilly without teeth. (Nor do I sleep with or hit on family members)

    I'm an atheist, but I don't knock people's religion. I don't go around judging people because of it. Hey, you are your own person, think what you want! Why should my opinion matter that much to you anyway? I think it is wonderful that some people can wholeheartedly believe in something like that, but I just don't.

    That's all I can think of right now ^.^

    Ugh yes to both of these. I'm both an atheist and a feminist- but that doesn't mean I "have no morals" or "must want people to go around killing each other!" And I don't hate men, end of.

    I have a decent beard and an increasingly growing stache.

    I do not know, or care, about:
    1. Whisker Wars
    2. Duck Dynasty

    I'm also from NC, but don't care anything about NASCAR.

    Me too. I love men. I even want to marry one. I just don't believe in unfair treatment of anyone, for any reason.

    most people seem to think that means that I'm mute and dumb.

    I'm neither.
