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

Not really I overall look pretty average except for my longish hair. I have a few shirts which I get as gifts but I don't wear those outside of my house. Overall I try my best to take care of myself and look decent.

This is a stereotypical gay person's thread, lol

OT: Not overweight, not sure what "spotty" is, don't wear fedora's and not sure what ones subjective "taste" in fashion should be.

Right?!  I never knew a meat market could just have sausage in it, until I came here.  Makes me squeamish to see guys pick up on girls in threads...but this is a whole new level that I didn't know existed.

What are you going on about? I don't see how the OP is remotely "gay"

I'm sorry if the description in the OP has offended you.

Sterotypically, gay people are judgemental and sassy.  A thread asking about sterotypes(judgements) would be expected from a gay person(sterotypically).  

Not to mention a few of your responses in the thread make the thread seem more like you're asking "R u qt p.i.?  Send pics plz".

I'm not a stereotypical gamer type, going by the outlines in the poll, mostly because I'm not a guy. But I guess it could be said that I look a bit geeky.

What are you doing right now? Judging gay people (does that mean you're gay? )

Who is judging classic looking sterotype gamer types? Live and let live. I'm asking a simple question, are there many of those types around these days, becuase back in the day that was synonomous with gamers and you know it.

Not sure who is being sassy here either :P

Also you're wrong about the gay stereotype being judgemental. It's a lot of other things, but I'd hardly say judgemental.

No, I wouldn't say I fall into any of those descriptions. Average weight (90kg) for a 190cm male, have mix of casual, regular and formal attire for being lazy, social events and work. Hair and skin are clean and maintained, but not obsessively so.

I'd consider myself a fairly average person in appearance that wouldn't give off any indicators of being the huge nerd I am. I tend to think of this stereotype being a very 80s or 90s thing.



I'm not overweight but I am out of shape, a little flabby on some areas. My sense of style is fairly standard. I wear button up shirts, v-neck sweaters and fit/slim jeans and slacks (khakis) I don't look geeky or nerdy but I'm not shy about it. I'm fairly reserved but I actually talk and joke a lot around my group of friends. I'm usually the center of the conversation. If I had to describe myself, I'd say I'm a closet gamer. I game a lot but I'm not decked out in gaming swag. I'll be open when asked about it though. I have a life outside of gaming (work, school and social stuff) but I don't go out every weekend, 3 to 4 times a month.

Guys knock it off, I do not know why there are comments about about gay stereotypes or why there are comments like "stereotypical gay person's thread" but I do not want to see it beyond this post. Stay on topic.



When in doubt, Cosby out!

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.


football or handegg?
