Let's blow up some gender stereotypes, shall we?

God, there are a million of these once you get started. I'll be back within the hour and will switch out non-vote-getters if any for the most salient replies from below. I'll add Other then, too.

#s 7 and 8 only count if you have a tv! :D

For my part, I'm the world champion of crying at movies.

Edit: Well, it fucks up the parallelism, but I'm changing out the non-vote-getters for two on cuddling. Hope non-remote-hogging men and non-crying-at-movies women can somehow cope without these options. (Added Other, though!:))

Pry it from my cold, dead hands! :D

I spend all day Sunday on the couch watching football.

:D

I've seen almost every Cardinals game this season on TV - we're going all the way!!!

(being a woman and ...) having to have the remote and hating to shop. I abhor shopping. But, I like to flip around. Gotta have that remote.

Cuddling, anytime and especially after sex.
'Chick' movies
Romance novels

I love sports (esp. college basketball, soccer and autoracing like F1 and NASCAR)

I absolutely despise shopping, especially shopping for clothes (though I love IKEA and Target)

I have to control the remote... and I'm a frequent channel changer... I'm not patient.

I also drive a stick shift and I curse like a sailor...

I love sex and I hate the cuddling before or after.

a schlomo, if you will..

I like watching football.

I dislike shopping.

and I don't think i'm that stereotypically womanly or whatever.

Drat. I wanted to vote for something. I hate passing a poll by.

for Other in about a half hour. :)

The poll might be more revealing if you had that as an option.

"Which gender stereotypes do you fulfill?" But of course, the Other option still works.

I hate shopping, grocery shopping, clothes shopping, you name it i hate it.

Remote(s. To end the continuous war we now have "matching" remotes. Imagine the clicker war that goes on around here.

The point is to be monopolizing THE remote; your very intelligent approach obviates that problem.

Of course, there are remotes for everything, and there are people who have to monopolize all of these, but I'm mainly talking about the one for tv/cable/satellite.

Edit: Welcome to DU! (Damn I'm rude)

I love to cook.
I love to shop.
I love to decorate.
I'm great with kids.
I HATE sports.

And um, yeah I'm gay.

:shrug:

love science, program my own computer, skeptical, not religious or spiritual (this is apparently rare by statistics), love problem solving, ....

Pcat

I'm a grad student in physics, I program, I use linux, and I'm agnostic. I hate it when men claim smugly that women aren't able to think quantitatively -- what clueless idiots. Grrrr.

Edited to add:
On the other hand, I cry rather easily, and I love to knit and crochet. Goes to show how stupid the stereotypes are. I don't fit the stereotype of a feminine woman, and I also don't fit the stereotype of a masculine woman.

all things most of the men around me think are girly.

Very much a bi chicklet. Neither bird nor mouse nor fish nor hare nor tofu.

Pcat

(on edit) Shit, but I'm also a college graduate who can't spell teh word "the" correctly.

Awwwwwwww

I need to control the remote.
I'm not that into shopping, at least as a recreational event.
I do NOT need to talk every single goddamn thing to death and back.
I'm not a big cuddler, although a little bit is sure nice!
I rarely cry at movies.

promiscous and do the oinkee boinkee with strangers. I don't mind men with 'baggage'.

There is one store I get clothes at...the manager sees me coming and laughs...she knows once a season I run though the store, grabbing about three outfits worth (usually in colors that will match other crap I have) buy it and leave...I really like that manager, she helps me get out as fast as I can. I like clothes, fashion but I know what I like and what I need.... I just hate retail and malls and cheap overpriced crap!

At least I like the remote. And I like sports if I'm playing

I hate it hate it HATE IT! It's too damn hot with another person at 97 degrees sleeping next to me. Like a damn furnace! I love sports, I HATE shopping, I NEED the remote (can't be bothered to wait to see what shows are on. Commercials are too long) aaaaannnd...I don't see the big deal in Valentines, Sweetest, etc.

and I hate asking for directions. But I do like shopping and chick flicks.

Good poll.

that's why we have 2 TVs. LOL!!!!

I also love running heavy equipment, I'm very good with a chain saw, I can clean a carburator, like to tinker with engines, have worked road construction and carpentry.

I do admit though that I have a thing for shoes. Along with my steel toed work boots, I have about 30 pair of very girly high heels.

Esp. the classics.

and I will use them until they are unsightly rather than shop for new ones. Accessories - Blech!
Carol
PS The only reason I have two pairs of shoes is because they won't let me wear sneakers to work.

Guy who hates sports right here.

along with the men who can ask for directions.:P

connecting electronic peripherals to the TV. I know, it's not a big deal, but I'm the one who does it. I also program the vcr, manage the stereo equipment, etc. My husband, a software engineer, can't work any of the equipment because he isn't intuitive. A friend who heard me say I hooked up the new dvd player asked my husband if he had any balls at all.

I also have done things like rotate my tires, change my oil, when it was easier to do in simpler cars decades ago. I've changed more flats than any other woman I know.

who has to have the remote, I'm not into cuddling much, I do NOT get into being dramatic (normally--ignore my freak out GRE thread tonight!), I boycott Valentine's Day (freaking Hallmark corporate holiday bullshit), I don't expect my husband to fawn all over me, and I am very very very low-maintenance.

BUT I have a shoe and purse fetish and I love to shop and love old movies. I am NOT weepy, however.

On edit: I also don't need to talk about my feelings all the time. Or even much at all. when I have them, I express them. End of story. Oh and late 60s early 70s muscle cars ROCK. They are completely awesome.

And I can belch all of you off the board.

Damn I thought of more. I absolutely ADORE sex, but I don't need cuddling afterward. In fact, Mr. Moonbeam is quite hot (body temp) so I'd prefer not.

I do NOT read romance novels, never have, never will. I love sci-fi and historical fiction/history/scorcery/magic novels, etc. I love to play dominoes and cards.

I never, I mean NEVER pitch hissy fits. Never. I don't whine. I don't talk in a baby voice to anyone.

especially clothes, has never owned a car without a stick shift, hates to decorate or cook, hates to cuddle, loves sex, but also loves romance novels, gardening, and movies that make me cry.

But I hate to shop (unless I know exactly what I want and where to go to get it). I like sports but I don't watch too much of it. I hate to cry at movies but whenever it's 'suggested' in the script there I am with the worst of them. I like to cook but that's about it as far as domestic talents go. I never was one much for cuddling. On the other hand I am not mechanical, although I used to change my own oil and have changed many a tire. I've tried knitting and cross-stitch and was an abysmal failure at both but I'm taking up jewelry making and am loving it.

I have been known to like the occasional chick flick. I thought "You've Got Mail" "Serendipity" and "Sleepless in Seattle" were ok.

On the other hand, nothing beats a sunday afternoon showing of Die Hard! lol

I hate sports. I cry at movies. I like to cuddle.

I do, however, hate to shop. :D

and I am a man
I sort clothes before washing... my wife does not, that is why I wash the clothes
I cook...better than my wife and am neater at it than she is

Do people really belive that women like doing laundry ?
(which isn't to say that I don't like doing laundry, cause I do)

That's ... amazing. Now, I like having clean clothes ... I just hate actually washing them!

I refuse to watch them on TV.

It's really the sportscasters that I hate.

I love sports, dislike shopping, need the remote, and think beer is one of the highest expressions of human culinary skill.

i'm a woman. i hate shopping. i'm going to lift someone else's statement and say that i also drive a stick shift and curse like a sailor. :)
i also hate romance novels, although i've cried at a movie or two. not many, though, 'cause i hate 'chick-flicks' too.

love cooking, though. love the idea of sewing, although i am a horrendously bad sewer.

and i'm cynical, a highly logical thinker, and love to fix my car. which has to happen frequently, sadly.

oh. and i'm canadian. but hi everyone. the amount of activity on this board gives me new hope for our neighbours to the south...
;)

...as full time grandparents, parenting a two year old...Mr. Tikki changes the majority of our little guy's ditties.

He is also the potty trainer.
