Do you fit the stereotypical gamer type?

Yes, with a fedora to boot 7 3.41%
 
I'm overweight and a little geeky looking 36 17.56%
 
I'm standard weight but still look geeky 57 27.80%
 
No, I'm pretty metrosexu... 105 51.22%
 
Total:205

I mean in terms of appearence? Are you overweight, spotty, wear a feadora, have zero taste in fashion, you all know what I'm talking about.

Be honest, (or vote anonymously) I'd be interested to see if it is more outdated than I think it already is.

And yes owning a videogame t shirt goes someway to fitting the stereotype guys.

I'm not really overweight, definitely not spotty, don't even know anyone that owns a fedora let alone wears one, I don't really have any taste in fashion though (if it's comfortable and doesn't make me look like a plonker then I'll wear it). Oh and I also don't wear glasses and never have, so I don't fit that stereotype either

Edit: Oh and I own exactly 0 video game related clothing.


Congratz! I shouldn't be so mean to glasses, on a sexy man with stubble (and the right pair) they can look awesome.

The other day I saw a guy, he was exactly what I described in the OP.



 

Me, no. I don't fall under those stereotypes. Not overweight. I'm 6'4". I dress fine. Not in any of that nerdy crap. I have a life outside of gaming. I don't own any video game shirt.



Well I have no fashion sense =P I often wear sports clothing
But Im definitely not overweight and ugly etc.
I grew up playing sport every day at school and multiple days of the week after school and on weekends. Not exactly the gamer stereotype.
So yeah defintiely parts of me that fit it but then theres the other side of me that is the complete opposite.



not overweight... actually a bit sporty.. but im really really really tiny

i do wear glasses... maybe a bit geeky... started my undergrad at 16... got a scholarship for my undergrad and grad school...

i give a lot of video game reference in the "real" world and the awkward silence when nobody gets it...

 

i dont have any video game shirt...

 

Are you overweight, spotty, wear a feadora...

 

 

i don't drink much so i think my liver is fine :P

Stereotypical gamer for me does not fit any of the criteria that you mentioned Seece. To me the stereotypical gamer is a bro. Things have certainly changed. I do feel like this thread was just designed to highlight certain qualities that you are not, by the way.



Unless people know me as a personal friend, they would never know I am a hardcore gamer and always have been since the NES era. Not going to go into detail, but a good friend of mine commonly refers to me as "a muscular nerd". Hell I was even MVP on my high school football team.

So no, I don't meat the stereotypes at all, especially for how much I game.

I'm none of those.
