I'm under the age of 20 so it is assumed by society that I am a sex obsessed, drug taking hedonist who gets his kicks by beating people up and stealing their bikes.
Are you usally taken for something/somebody you are not?

Right, so if I was living in the middle-east (and was a woman) I would be wearing a burka because that's the norm. What point are you trying to make here?THEAFRONINJA said:

I've been a SHARP for near on 20 years and I still get mistaken for a bonehead, so as long as you're a skinhead a lot of people are always going to assume you're a racist cocksock.
oooooh yeah I can see why that would be a problem. Rather than beating around the bush just kinda wasting your time.Aylaine said:Mmm, it's not even that. I just wish that if that's what a guy (or girl) wanted, they would be upfront with it. I really appreciate honesty and covering things up to get what you want out of another person can really suck. :xKuchinawa212 said:
Wouldn't that be like, street smart vs book smart? Is that a way you could put it?
and yeah, that's a nice way of putting it =) I like that. I'm not terribly book smart as my appearance apparently lets on.
People assume I'm quiet and nerdy. And innocent, and sheltered. I guess I am in a way, but I don't spend all my time studying (actually, I kind of don't. Study, I mean) and I actually have a life. And for some reason, it seems to surprise people when they find out I'm into games, or Warhammer books, or metal. I mean, seriously, I know I don't look the type, but still.
I'm mistaken as a hippie all the time.
I'm just gonna say this as politely as I can.
I FUCKIN HATE HIPPIES!!!!
They're the bane of my existence. For a full list of reasons why(it's kinda long) P.M. me and make the title Hippie hate or somethin with hippie and hate in it.

A good student. I have an inflated vocabulary (Or, according to my sister, I am pretentious), and so people say to themselves, they say "Oh, look, a smart guy. Surely he is a good student". And I'm all "What? I didn't study for that major, major English test tomorrow, I reactivated my City of Heroes account and played that, instead".
Still, I tend to do ok in exams regardless, so... no harm, no foul, as the adage goes.

I'm usually mistaken for a doormat or a coat hanger. Sometimes a port o'potty. And once for a water fountain.
That sounds shit... but still now I know that I'm not alone whith being a SH that isn't racist yay.^^RhombusHatesYou said:
I've been mistaken for being black by some guy over Xbox Live who was a friend of a friend. They only thought that though because I have a Mancunian accent, and I've been told off some other people I sound like one of the cast off Kidulthood, which isn't all that great. I do ironically say "wagwan" and stuff like that though, so people that don't know me very well must actually think I'm being serious.
People think I'm a chav, because my hair is shaved and I wear hoodies. They're fucking morons, to them hoodie = hoodlum. What kind of chav wears a fucking DC hoodie? Similarly, people also think I'm stupid because chavs are, that's led to a lot of instances where I just tell them upfront to fuck themselves, one instance involved me calling an old lady a **** because (as I was waiting to get off the bus) she was speaking to her friend about me and "youth today" in general, the sheer amount of ignorance just wound me up, she deserved it.
Also, students and teachers think I'm shy in lesson because I don't put my hand up and don't speak to people. There's a reason for that. I don't want the validation of the class (for one), and I'd rather write my responses down and use them on the exam myself. The last fucking thing I want is 30 students writing down the same thing I said because it's a good point.

Why thanks you, and yes, you're quite right about them not being worth it, and i'd advise against my bear hugs...i've been known to squeeze a little to hard.Aylaine said:Haha. Flak Canons remind me of Red Alert games.viper3 said:Sounds like you could use some flak cannonsAylaine said:
OT: I'm rather tall, a little bit on the heavy side, so people generally just avoid me, my friends all know i'm harmless unprovoked, but no one else seems to get that's i'm just a friendly normal guy.
I really like guys like that. They're big or massive in build, but their friendly and great for bear hugs. One of my close guy friends is like that. People steer clear of him simply because he looks big and mean but hes just a normal nice guy on the inside. I'm sorry that happens to you though.
Look at it this way though, if people can assume about you simply by how you look, are they worth it?
