Stereotypes

Nebb · July 2010

What are some (NOT NEGATIVE) stereotypes you believe in (even if youve made them up yourself)?

I believe that beer drinkers are more laid back and like to shoot the shiit more than other types of drinkers.
I believe that the best kind of men dont like to wear the pants in the relationship (or atleast share them), defering all control to the woman and letting her run things.

Nebb · July 2010

Oh, and I believe that skinny girls have more fun shopping because theres a better selection of clothes for them to try on.

This is hard...

I believe people with money have more fun.

uhhh...thats all I can think of haha

Nebb · July 2010

I believe people who dont like bacon have something inherently wrong going on.

MeaghanandMichael · July 2010

I believe if you wear tailored put together outfits that may be on the cheaper side, you look better and more respectable than some one who wears something expensive but ill fitting and wrong for their body.

I believe there are people who listen and people who simply wait to talk. I think the former make life's best friends.

MeaghanandMichael · July 2010

I believe if you can't enjoy a poop, fart or boob joke you are waaay to uptight.

I believe if you think you can do anything you want, without repercussion, on your wedding day it shows something about who you really are- even if you appear to be considerate in general.

This is true. I used to be said skinny girl and instead of taking advantage, bemoaned my lack of curves.

True. Unless you're too skinny. When you're too skinny and have no butt finding pants is impossible and with no boobs most shirts make you look like a boy.

I believe that if you truly hate cats that you're probably a very controlling person.

Not true. I'm skinny and can NEVER find my size. It is usually an xs and stores only get one or two of that size in every shipment (I know, I worked in retail for 10 years).

Plus, I don't fit in most "small" sizes in women sections so I have to look for things in juniors......and it's annoying to be almost 30 shopping for a brand advertised by Miley Sirus.

In my opiniom, girls who are sized Medium have all the fun!

THIS, I have this problem :( I would DIE for a few more curves.

I believe that if you are kind to animals (especially men), you are a gentle and kind person in general.

ExpatPumpkin · July 2010

Sorry this one's negative... But I believe that if you treat waitstaff poorly that you're a jerk.

This!! I also think as long as the service was good to great you should tip at least 20%

aprovencher21 · July 2010

I find it hilarious that because I love pink and have a pink laptop, kindle, business bag, etc. etc. and tend to dress stylish that men and sometimes women in business take me less seriously at first because they think I'm too girly. I enjoy this because when I kick their ass in deals, negotiations or class it makes my winning that much sweeter.

I also find that people have this odd correlation in their heads big boobs= not smart. I exploit this as well

This is also true. I was pretty skinny- and the implant revolution didn't help much- if you're a size 0/2, odds are, you're NOT a natural C cup. Grrrrr.

I believe people who don't like pets to touch them have something disturblngly wrong with them. Unless they have allergies, in which case it makes total sense.

Nebb · July 2010

I meant nothing like... prejudiced or racist when I said nothing negative. I just didnt want anyone (rando's, mainly) being cruel or rude.

aprovencher21 · July 2010

I think weddings are much more fun with booze.

True about the selection, but I also think that my curves and big boobies look way better in certain things than skinny girls with no curves and no chest.

But I do miss the bikinis.......

Blueyed228 · July 2010

I also think that men who are kind to children and old people make great life partners.

I think men who really like movies like "The Notebook" and "When a Man Loves a Woman" have a kindness in their hearts that cannot be faked.

Blueyed228 · July 2010

One more.

I think people who drive Subaru Outbacks should have their licenses taken away because they are way more moronic drivers than elderly people.

scoetto · July 2010

I believe those who point the finger at everyone else are the ones with the biggest problems in their lives. They also enjoy drama-filled lives.

I, too, enjoy drama. As long as I'm not involved. And I prefer it on tv.

zippityb · July 2010

Mo' money, mo' problems is totally true.

[Deleted User] · July 2010

Regarding shopping, that's not always true. I wear 0-3 depending on the brand, and it sucks trying to find clothes that fit. I worked in retail and we would always reserve the smaller sizes before putting them on the racks since we got first pick. The smaller sizes are alwyas gone by the time I get to them now.

But finding professional clothes is the worst. I don't fit into women's sizes and junior's clothes are all clubby--revealing, spaghetti straps or no straps at all, pictures on them. Plus I have no butt so pants look stupid on me. I absolutely hate shopping.

+1, that's why I don't think it's rude to have cash bar, some people just don't want to, or don't have the budget to, have an open bar, so why's it rude to have an alternative available for those who do want to drink?

I do agree with this- if it's no bar or cash bar, go cash bar! But I knew a girl who bought a 4K dress, spent 6K on flowers and had a cash bar... yeah, not so much.

aprovencher21 · July 2010

I'm all for stricter sentencing and punishment for people who abuse animals or who participate in any way in dog fighting. I cannot describe how much that makes my blood boil. Oh child abuse as well......

ETA: I think pot should be legal and I'm less worried about people who are caught doing drugs in a nonviolent manner. I'd much rather use that prison space and funding for the truly scary ass people.

I think anyone who would harm any living creature, animal or human, deserves harsh punishment. There should be no distinction. I think anyone who does things like that are sick individuals.

I also think that pot heads are sometimes the most creative and hilarious people, partly because of the pot and partly just because of their openness to things.
