I like to know how people think because it is usually so different from how I think, and I am often surprised (in a good, neutral or bad way, depending on the topic) by the things I hear. Here is a fairly neutral topic (I hope); what do you first identify with when comparing yourself to other people in the world ? For some people it is religion (e.g. the Muslim of Europe), for other it is nationality (e.g. British), for others ethnicity (e.g. Black), for others the ethnic-cultural group (Japanese), but it could also be gender (for feminists, I guess), sexual orientation (mostly for gays), social class (e.g. in India), job/education (e.g. lawyer), or even a neurological or psychological minority group (e.g. manic-depressive, exceptionally gifted, left-handed...). What is it for you ? What would be the 3 adjectives you would choose to best describe yourself and why these ones rather than others ?

For me:

Vegetarian - almost vegan, cream in coffee and milk chocolate deny me the title

Objective Atheist - although I've been labeling myself agnostic, I must admit that I've been agreeing more with atheists than agnostics recently. However I don't see religions in the same harsh light that a lot atheists do. In some ways I find a lot of atheists reactionary, and not objective. A lot of atheists brought up in atheistic families don't share the religions are evil idea that a lot of atheists brought up in religious families do.

Native American - in the minority in the U.S., I'm also not the stereotypical Native American.

 

[Shantae]

Weeb - I hate this word, but it basically describes me. I hate my society, and wished I lived in Japan. I love the social constructs within Japanese society, and I love the environment. Just being there feels more like home to me than anyplace in America ever has. Not obsessed with anime, but I like the anime aesthetic. I'm attracted to Japanese women, which I guess is often looked at as a bad thing. I guess having a preference is considered wrong.

Loser - I'm a failure at life, and have no appealing traits that anyone would want to associate with. I can't keep friends, I can't make friends. I couldn't get a girlfriend if my life depended on it. I find little joy in anything in my life anymore. I'm unattractive physically and mentally.

White person - Mixture of european nations by blood ends up making me the most cultureless person, and being white only makes it worse. I have no culture of my own, and I'm seen as a loser for gravitating towards the only culture that appeals to me.

Movies. I watch more movies in a year than there are days. Nothing defines my passions more than film. I fucking love movies. I'm going to make movies. And don't worry GAF, I'll remember you.

Cute. I'm very cute irl. I'm constantly reminded by others how cute I am. I'm pretty pleased with this.

Charisma. It's very important to me. A defining aspect of my expression. I'm fucking fantastic with people, especially irl. It's a talent to be learned.

[Stilton Disco]

Tall
I'm 6ft 6 and thus in a height bracket outside the norm enough to where it becomes a defining feature, both in how I interact with the world and how others treat me.

Generally it's a positive. There's little I can't reach, I'm definitely listened to more when voicing an opinion, it gives me confidence, I'm stronger than most men and ladies have always been generally quite receptive and calm around me.

But it's also a pain in the arse. I was always a head taller than my peers at school, so often bullied for sticking out, made to do any activity first, something that continues even as an adult at work, and I live in a world that is all just too small for me. I need special desks and chairs at work that dwarf those around me, I struggle to find clothes that are long enough or fit properly, I often break things from using more force than it was designed for or moving it at too oblique an angle, and anyone with any kind of chip on their shoulder will be aggressive and confrontational towards me.

If you've ever been back to school as an adult, and realised how small everything seems, then that is how the entire world is to me, all the time.

English
I used to say British, but I've been told so many times that Britishness just means having a UK passport it's lost all meaning to me now.

But I'm definitely English, for good or ill.

I'm erudite, verbose, confident and polite, with a sense of fair play, honour and Liberal freedoms, but tempered by a smug arrogance and superiority complex that extends to a low level of broad xenophobia.

I'm immensely proud of my country, culture and heritage, and I try my best to live up to the ideals and traditions it has imparted on me.

Classical Liberal
I believe that all men are fundamentally equal, and that it is inherently wrong to curtail the rights and opportunities available to others for any reason.

We should be as free as possible, both to succeed on our personal merit and fail through our own poor choices. There is nothing to be gained by silencing those we disagree with and there is no better disinfectant for hateful ideology and authoritarianism than open debate, exposing their twisted ideas to scrutiny and ridicule.

People must be free to forge their own paths, and responsible enough to live with the fact the world owes them nothing.

 

[MudoSkills]

Arrogant - having had an easy ride throughout my education I was led to hold high expectations for my life, which I haven't in any way lived up to. I consider every job I've ever held as beneath me and realised quite a while ago that I'm probably never going to feel I'm doing well enough.

Drunk - I am drunk a lot of the time. Wonder if there's any connection?

Funny - on the upside, I do make people laugh quite often. Just not on Gaf.

 

[Stiflers Mom]

Native American - in the minority in the U.S., I'm also not the stereotypical Native American.

Do you have a cool name like "Hawkeye" or "Ghost who walks inside" or something like that?
Met a native american once who studied here in Germany, and he had an amazing name.

Also girls over here liked him a lot...

 

[M1chl]

I guess, againts all odds, I am still hanging here. I also day dream a lot, which like 1= is turned into reality.

Yeah well this too.

I guess this describe me too, but I am not sure what "tall as fuck" means, 2m+? You from Netherlands? : D

 

[West Texas CEO]

Nah, I grew up in the city as a normal kid. However, my first name is Cheyenne, which is the name of a native American tribe.

Yes, almost exaclty at 2 m. Form great, great Germany. Even at 100kg, I feel like a stick man. There are some pros and cons to that. What mainly bugs me, is the fact that I will never be able to fit in a Mazda Miata or comparable roadster.

I guess, I appear grumpy and distant most of the time. I am also mostly a quiet person. Especially at work, because I hate all the gossip and trash talk.

Well I am your neighbor and I am at 191cm, but with fucking 52EU shoes, which also prevented me from getting licence to fly big commercial planes. So I just have to do with Cessna, I did not know about it, so I spent outrages sum for pilot licence and well then this.

Also I am at 82kg and feels good (down from 136kg)...

I honestly would not want to be taller, I know few people who are like you and many problems with back and problem fitting on bed and shit. Hell I was in the hospital on 2m bed and it was shit. I own 220cm and that's kind of my limit, so those past sleep overs which I had contained good sleep and bad sleeping.

Why would you want to, it's already above the norm.

 

[Mista]

Good man with a short temper. Unfortunately

 

[LisaMariaMartin]

I know some stuff. I pride myself on my knowledge but it's limited to the field I am working in. Outside of that field, I am a total retard. Unfortunately, coding and IT puts most women to sleep so I usually just mention it to dates and let them do most of the talking while I smile and nod like a moron.

 

[Stiflers Mom]

Also, you trying to become a jockey...

Don't give up your dreams, tall man!

See I'm 6ft 6/200cm and wouldn't want to be shorter, even with the drawbacks.

Mind you it helps that unlike most tall guys, who look lanky, like they've been stretched, I'm in proportion, as if someone had taken an average man and simply made them 15%-20% bigger.

I've also never had the slightest bit of back pain, inspite of years of lifting heavy things, farm labour playing Rugby and very active outdoorsy pastimes.

Honestly, I could happily go up to 7ft myself. Being tall is awesome.

Good for you, I already have a long legs and big chest, so even now i look kind of disproportioned, especially when I lost shitton of weight.

[The Wheel of Fortune]

The first thing? Tall, for me. I live in a country full of dwarves where the average male height is 1.65 (5'4") and I'm almost 1.89 (6'2").

Whenever people are looking for me, they always say something like: "oh, the tall guy?" So, yeah lol whenever I have to describe myself I always start with "tall".

For me:

Vegetarian - almost vegan, cream in coffee and milk chocolate deny me the title

Objective Atheist - although I've been labeling myself agnostic, I must admit that I've been agreeing more with atheists than agnostics recently. However I don't see religions in the same harsh light that a lot atheists do. In some ways I find a lot of atheists reactionary, and not objective. A lot of atheists brought up in atheistic families don't share the religions are evil idea that a lot of atheists brought up in religious families do.

Native American - in the minority in the U.S., I'm also not the stereotypical Native American.

Teacher: I teach English in different Mexican Universities (when they're open). Yet, I've studied many things and teach those as well -- I teach: Animation, Aviation basics for flight and ATC protocol (I used to fly small aircraft), piano (I play many instruments but this is the only one I can teach), and I teach about film from time-to-time and studied film for many years.

Religious? I don't like religion per se, but I have beliefs which I keep silent as to not cause controversy. It's something I share with those who really want to know me. That might be why I don't swear/curse on GAF, but I don't have a problem with it either. It's also why I try to be understanding and polite on here.

Anime guy (but not a weeb, otaku, or otherwise): I simply like classic anime, collect it, and leave it at that. I don't particularly think Japan would be a great place to live, I can handle dubbed anime (subs if it's available), and I don't cosplay. I wear polo shirts and jeans...I don't have a male kimono or katana at my hip.

Extra...

Non-political: I feel politics is nice only to the extent of being aware of what is going on in the world. Otherwise, I distance myself from news media, politics, and conspiracies which may relate to. However, if you put me at gunpoint -- I have a little more conservative ideologies. I was really big into politics and when I saw the corruption and dishonesty from both sides...I walked away.
