It’s not completely accurate for me to describe myself as a bodybuilding mathematician, but it’s not that far off either. I think most people would describe that as weird. ---

> [@Cat\_Whisperer](#): > > I bet she likes it when you call her “My first wife,” eh? 🙂 25 years married to the same woman. She refers to me as her “first husband.” I refer to her as my “last wife.” We still like each other. I just bought her a tea mug that says “My Next Husband Will be Normal.” ---

Among the people I went to school with I’m not so weird, but the fact that I’m not a redneck does make me a bit different. I’m VERY odd in comparison to my closest female friends. The illegal immigrant relationship, the lacking of a husband, the out-of-wedlock pregnancy, the lack of formal education, the atheism, the ultra liberal views, the liberal parenting, the lack of ambition and the lack of a high paying career makes me the weirdo in the bunch. But I have been told I am envied. 🙂 ---

Now that I think about it, I’m either really weird or really normal. Married to a pretty wife that loves to do craft things and bake while wearing cute aprons. I’m a veteran. In our spare time we teach church classes. ---

I’m weird for sure. - I am childfree by choice, and don’t particularly like babies/children (I’m female). - I’m 47 years old and I haven’t grown up yet. I still play video games and MMOs, ride motorcycles, collect gaming books, and generally have a bunch of hobbies more suited for someone much younger than me (and usually of a different gender). - I hate typical “women’s” clothes (dresses, skirts, heels, etc.) and refuse to wear them. I’d say I’m weird for not being religious, but around here that’s not weird at all. ---

Fairly weird, but so are most of my friends so it’s not a problem. ---

Yeah, pretty weird. 54y.o. straight male; After a divorce at 28 I remained happily single to the present. Not interested in sports, didn’t watch even a minute of the Super Bowl. My favorite hobby is almost non-existant in this region. Other weird hobbies. I listen to weird music and watch weird movies. Perfectly content with my own company, rarely socialize. I have a weird dog and a weird cat. Not exactly an atheist but certainly an agnostic. Yep, weird. ---

Weird? I almost didn’t want to come here to tell you how weird I am. I still like prog-rock. Lighthouses are fascinating. So are high places. I learned to free climb before I was truly aware my own mortality. I learned by doing with no training except what I read in a book. I became competent, which if were not true, I would not be posting this message. And I rode my bike without a helmet. (That was pretty normal, at the time actually. heh heh heh) I have always wanted to swim with dolphins… while they were attacking sharks. When darkness comes, I want to walk with Professor Abraham van Helsing stalking the most evil prey. Yes, I am weird. ---

Yeah, just off the top of my head: I don’t drink alcohol. I’m a vegetarian. I have a pet tortoise. I’m an introvert. ---

In am a 51 year old woman, never married, no kids (or grandkids) and don’t date. I live alone with 5 dogs and 2 cats, and I like it that way. I collect model horses (some think of them as toy horses, even tho some cost several hundred dollars each) I prefer to spend my charitable dollars on animal cherities than human charities. I have no living family in my town. None.
