I love the idea of a Killer Tomato costume, but I like weird stuff. I was a zombie Hello Kitty a couple of years ago (Halloween was a zombie run followed by a party with the runners and zombies). I didn’t anywhere near as many date offers as when I go with the buxom beer Mädchen look.
I love fried chicken, watermelon, the blues, conservative fedoras, and women with hair the wind can blow around.
So yes, I fit all sorts of old black man stereotypes.
I’m *not *an old black man, but that wasn’t the question.
Heh. I don’t get the fedoras and women with hair the wind can blow around references. Are those really black stereotypes?
For some reason your post cracked me up.
GIS programmer that just got off his tractor to move snow for the plow truck. Making snow storage really.
I live in one of the most pristine areas in the world for skiing, but hate downhill skiing. Get enough snow every day at the house thank you very much. No need to go in search of it. And get run over by bad skiers. Love where I live though.
Programmer, that knows more about his tractor than his computer (well sort of). My hobby is trying to learn the banjo.
Don’t think I’ve got a label.
I used to date an Indian girl, and we had some playful banter about this subject.
Indian girls in America:
Are very career oriented
Can be a bit stuck up towards people who aren’t career oriented
Wear lots of jewelry
Are marriage and baby crazy
Often get mistaken for different ethnicities, usually Arab, sometimes Latina
Love films, both Bollywood and American
Have long gorgeous hair
Have close relationships with their parents
Have secret White boyfriends their parents don’t know about
I was the secret white boyfriend for a little while. Now I’m her husband. My missus doesn’t fit many of these stereotypes, though, except the one about being career-oriented. And that one, boy-howdy does she fit it! (She doesn’t look down on people who aren’t though.) She also has gorgeous hair, but she likes it a little shorter.
It said old black man. Although I don’t know if “fedora” is the right word, except that any full-brim had (including trilby, porkpie) is called “fedora” these days. Picture John Lee Hooker.
Me too, although it’s not hate so much as uninterested. There is a big chance that anyone who specifically moved here will be asked if they ski or snowboard. Also, the snow has been extremely weak this year.
I have a beard. And when not wearing contacts I have dark-rimmed glasses. So I don’t know if pointing out that I am not a hipster by saying I did this before it was cool actually makes me 360 into a hipster :D. I like some “hipster” music but I am too out of it to keep up with trends in music.
This. Plus I could be the model of the ‘Angry American’.
I’m a very non flamboyant gay man with no interest in Madonna, Musicals or Fashion. I do however have a ‘flair’ for color and love to decorate. But I also love to rip out walls, do electrical work, have a workshop that rivals or exceeds anyone (except maybe my dad and my husband’s father). I like big sloppy dogs and have had many in my day, but now I’m the proud Dogdad of a fluffy white Shih-tzu whom, if I could, I’d carry in a dog-purse of some sort. I am a sucker for Hallmark Christmas movies, but pretty insensitive to romance in my own life. I’m a firm believing Christian, which theoretically, I should not be, as there are so many issues with that. My wedding was very low-key (more Mitchell than Cameron) but I had a full choir, multiple musicians and played the organ for my own Communion Hymn and there was incense…lots and lots of incense. I’m a contradiction of the gay model and I love it!! But my dislike of most gay subculture in no way means that I’m ashamed of my sexuality and I’ll defend myself and my group’s rights whenever necessary
How many cats?
I am a rather zaftig Jewish mamma who makes one hell of a chicken soup.
Well I’m a librarian, and when I let my hair fall loose from its tight bun and I whip off my thick glasses… actually I’m mostly bald, and male, and I never take off my glasses because I can’t see a damn thing without them. I am rather detail oriented and I really like things organized, so in that way I am something of a stereotype. I’m also bookish, intellectual, prefer to work indoors, and curious about everything. Sounding more stereotypical all the time.
I’m an old lady. I knit. I have cats.
I also have a pretty colorful past and a presently colorful vocabulary, though, so if you aren’t careful I’ll break up that stereotype.
I have a giant penis.
Ridgerunner of far Eastern European ancestry. Despite being brought up to be non-confrontational and preferring it that way, when push comes to shove the old frontiersman comes out and that veneer of civilization just fades away. And it ain’t something I’m proud of.
I’m confused.
I drive a Subaru, really like women, wear plaid shirts - I am not a lesbian.
I love and grow plants, love and have performed in musicals, yet I am not gay.
I fully support equal pay and marriage for all, yet I am neither a female nor a member of the GL population.
I have lots of female friends without trying to bed them, and yet I am a heterosexual male.
I am old, and have become more liberal as time goes by, and cook sometimes and clean sometimes and so forth…
What is wrong with me???
(OK, I am bald, fat, hairy, and still like to watch football and drink beer and check out the ladies - ya caught me.)
It’s Subaru Forester or Outback. Can’t stereotype WRX drivers as much else but young males.
Thank you! I was hoping someone would come forth. Let’s see:

[li] ** Are very career oriented ** Nope, not me. I work to live, not live to work. [/li][li]Can be a bit stuck up towards people who aren’t career oriented Well, if I am not, then it would be really hypocritical to be stuck up towards others![/li][li]Wear lots of jewelry Yes. Less so now, but I always have at least three (small) pairs of earrings, my nosering, two rings, a bracelet, and my watch. This sounds like a lot but most of it is small and subtle. Used to be more! [/li][li]Are marriage and baby crazy Nope. Never got married (though I am in a LTR) and will never have babies. [/li][li]Often get mistaken for different ethnicities, usually Arab, sometimes Latina Yes. Constantly. Admittedly I am really light-skinned. [/li][li]Love films, both Bollywood and American Yes! Totally. [/li][li]Have long gorgeous hair I do love my hair, but it is markedly different from Indian girls’ hair on the average. It is thin and curly, as opposed to thick and straight. [/li][li]Have close relationships with their parents Nope. Ha! [/li][li]Have secret White boyfriends their parents don’t know about No, I never had a white boyfriend, which is one of my few regrets. [/li]

Hmmm. I suppose I fit the New England stereotype: flinty, intensely private, dry sense of humor and suspicious of strangers.
Physically, I think it’s pretty clear that my people are Irish, right down (up?) to the giant noggin.
Ah! That I have. NY, while not New England, is not dissimilar (I am not from the City).
