Do you work against being a stereotypical male/female? Do you embrace it?

I embrace gender stereotypes for men vocally while disregarding them in my appearance and manner. It throws people off.
-
Yes I have done that all my life.
-
ok, i'm afraid i don't know what the stereotypical female is, could you explain this please?
-
I don't bother either way. Why worry about how someone else perceives me as typical or not? I am what I am, and their opinions of me are theirs, not mine. Besides, I hope that my friends and associates are mature enough to not worry about this either. If they are not, then they will not remain long as my friends anyway.

I have never been stereotypical - I couldn't be that if I tried - I've always gotten along much better w/ males as I'm not petty and gossipy like so many women are. I'm 53 and have never had many girlfriends - I was unpopular all thru' school and college as well, and at this point, I'm not in close touch with any lady friends even tho' I'd say I have about 10 who are friends of sorts. I like guys/men!! But I'm hetero - happily married to 2nd husband. My friends are mostly music colleagues who also play jazz (I'm a jazz pianist/vocalist, along w/ a full-time secretary), and they tend to be males upwards of 65 years old! Most average women (of any age) gravitate away from me because I don't buy into petty conversations whatsoever - I'm a deep Scorpio Italian from NYC, and have no use for frivolity. When I had a woman boss for a couple of years at my day job (where I've worked for 22 years), now THAT was ROUGH. Have a great day!...

Neither. I could not care less.

To answer your question, I'd like to know what characteristics do you had in mind when prescribing a stereotypical female?
-
I just work at being me
-
I have no problems being the stereotypical white, male, conservative. I, personally, could care less what others think.
-
I think in most ways I am a "stereotypical" female and in other ways I am not. I do not fight against what I am. I embrace my strengths and do not mind at all being "girly".

one stereotypical feamle type i work against is the gold digger stereotype. i don't associate with or use people just for their money... thats just rude. one stereotype i embrace is asking for directions IF i'm lost. lol why keep driving around in circles and waste gas?

Everyone, including myself, has some stereoptypical images of certain groups but, to be honest, aside from Barbie & Ken, I don't have any of the sexes. In respect of the only person at work that might be grouped with Barbie - but that's including a bit of imagination - then I would have to say yes, I definitely embrace it!! :-)

I just concentrate on being me. Much easier!

Neither. I work towards being myself. . Part of which is totally "stereotypical" and part of which is totally counter to stereotypes. . What I believe that in modern times we've lost the touch with what basic traits a man should have and some work towards "equality/Intersexuality" which is pure nonsense. While others work towards the MEGA-MACHO thing, which is also ridiculous and I don't see it as actually manly either. Just retarded. . Besides I realized, if you want to go towards a stereotype of either male or female You need to state in which age of history, in which culture and in which group. Cause everyone has a different one. . And when You look for shared traits that seem like fitting, they are very few, but very important. And people today look for manly/womanly traits or lack of them in many things that have nothing in common with them. While others try to totally nullify any need or necessity for them and force "equality". That's how I see it.
