    I grew up in the Louisiana swamp and Im not fat from fried seafood, married to my junior prom date, in a 5th generation hand me down trailer on stilts, with nine toothless Kool-Aid moustached illegitimate children chasing gators and blissfully ignorant about what that SKOOL sht is, while my man and his uncle daddy make moonshine.

    I like alternative music and bands that aren't on top-40 radio stations - this does not mean I am a "snob" or a "hipster", or that I only listen to certain music to look cool.

    I show my cleave (because I love my boobs) so I must be a slut...

    Still don't think slut is a bad thing. :bigsmile:

    See, I'd much rather be called a *kitten* at least someone would be saying I'm hot enought to get paid... sluts just give it away for freeeeee *said in my best Adam Sandler voice*

    Anyone from England will understand this one:

    I'm an Essex girl born and bred, but I don't look like I've been Tango'd, I don't have the accent and I don't have bleach blonde hair.

    And you don't seem to have those ridiculous drawn on eyebrows either :laugh: fellow Brit here!

    This was my shameful addiction for a bit there..... Thankfully I think I'm over it now haha

    We've all been there :laugh:

    Luckily my parents would have slapped it out of me if I had tried haha! :) Welcome back to the side of normality though. We have cookies ;)

    I'm 33, unmarried, Puerto Rican with no children.

    SOOOO many stereotypes broken there..... Seriously, where I live the PR stereotype is so annoying!! Lots of Puerto Ricans but no one recognizes the ones who aren't in that stereotype!

    Apparently, I should have 5-6 kids by now, from 3-4 different fathers, live on welfare, listen to rap, and speak spanglish. Nope, not me! I must be white.

    I have no kids
    Never married
    Not on welfare
    Listen to metal and classic rock
    Don't speak spanish
    Hate spicy food
    I can drive stick
    Perfer war movies and action flicks over romantic comedys ANY day (EVERY day.....)
    I hate shopping and only go when my clothes have holes in them
    I RARELY buy shoes - wear the same pair till they fall apart. Then I go out and try to find the exact same shoes
    Had only had 3 pedicures in my life
    Not a pet person or a plant person



    Note: Stereotypical Puerto Rican traits I DO have..... I can dance salsa, and I have a PR flag hanging from my rear view mirror. hahaha :wink: PR pride, baby. :glasses:

    I'm from Lancaster County Pennsylvania (Dutch Country) but I am NOT Amish, Mennonite or religious what so ever.

    I'm from Holmes County, Ohio. Constantly getting asked if I'm Amish. I'm a little closer than you (Christian), but still far from being Amish!

    Yes I am a 6'1" female and no, I didn't play basketball or volleyball to any great extent.

    I played fastball. I was the pitcher.

    Yes I am blonde, but I work in IT (and I do quite well thank you).

    If you have never had a 12pk of Dew for breakfast, you dont know what you are missing!

    I'd like to second this.

    I'd also like to add:
    1. I have tattoos
    2. I ride a Harley
    3. I like shooting guns

    and I guess I'm countering the above by saying that I'm a ridiculously easy-going nonviolent dude.

    I know how to properly pronounce "ask".

    I rarely listed to rap music.

    I never use the N word, no matter who I am around.


    I could go on and on...... :P

    I don't really know what English stereotypes are! I love tea, scones and crumpets so I suppose I fit those?

    I'm vegan but my nutrient levels are probably higher than most peoples and are always on target!

    That because I am a "petite" woman, I must be an easy target. I have no problem introducing you to my right hook, Benchmade or Smith & Wesson - in no particular order.

    I vote mostly Democrat but I am a gun owner.

    My husband is a plumber. He does not have a big shed over his tool nor does he expose his buttcrack while going about his job.
