Stereotypes that annoy you
- Thread starter KiaKaha
- Start date
I think they are just threatened by females who can do the same job as them.
On another note the workplace is really unfair to women,I have seen them doing the same work that men do,yet they earn much less,its really something that needs changing.

1. The fact that movies like to portray blonde girls (guys too sometimes,) as bimbos/uneducated. There's nothing else to define them as.
2. When the shy/average "nerdy" looking girl has her friend do her makeover and everybody starts to finally notice her outer beauty. They will most likely befriend her and want to be her boyfriend. Hell, I'll be honest with you, I don't always wear make up but even when I do sometimes dress myself and look presentable, a lot of people hardly ever notice. I mean I'm not saying I don't ever recieve compliments from anybody, but not everyone walks up to me and suddenly decides they want to become my friend/boyfriend just because I dressed differently and put on make up. No one immediately drops everything they're doing and stares at me the moment I walk in the room. Nobody comes up and showers me with tons of affection saying "OMG you're so gorgeuous!" "Can I get your phone number?" "You are the most beautiful person ever, you should be a model!" They all just tend to carry on with whatever they're doing, regardless of whether I wear makeup or not. In movies, I think this kind of stereotype only creates false hope for people who want that special attention from others. But the truth is, is that those kinds of situations aren't likely to happen that way in reality.
3. The fact that women are always the ones to cook for their man. Funny thing actually is that I saw a scene in a movie where a couple has some kind of argument about something and the guy ends up making the girl cry. And in the morning, SHE is the one cooking breakfast for him, even though he actually hurt her feelings. It just doesn't make sense. I couldn't help but just feel baffled watching that. Why would you take the idea of cooking for someone who doesn't seem to consider your feelings? I also doubt that a lot of women would reward their boyfriends/husbands with breakfast right AFTER having an argument. It just goes to show how sexist society can be. This kind of stereotype right here annoys me beyond belief.
4. Good girl falls in love with bad boy/Good guy falls in love with bad girl. Either that or the good guy/good girl will think they have a chance of changing the bad girl/bad boy.
5. In horror/comedy movies when the girl finally realizes that her "jock" boyfriend was a complete **** the whole time she was with him and decides she wants to be with the "nerdy" guy that treats her well instead. I'ved noticed this in quite a lot in comedy movies. All it takes for the supposedly "nerdy" guy to do is to pull some kind of heroic move that'll make her suddenly realize she loves him.

I actually have to agree with this. A lot of the people I've been with assume that because I'm shy and act overly kind torwards them, they view me as this sweet, perfect little angel. They know this because they've only been used to seeing that side of me. But trust me, I don't always act that way 100%. I can be pretty immature at times too, it's just that other people are so used to seeing me act good and being content with myself, that I start to feel somewhat pressured of ever showing them how I truly act like. They never believe that someone like me could ever swear, lose my temper, act gross, ect.
Whether they like it or not, I'm still human. I do tend to mess up and I do tend to lose control of myself when I become depressed/angry. I can swear a lot, throw things, scream, make up corny immature jokes, burp, eat like a pig, ect. But it still just goes to show that I'm not as perfect as people seem to think I am. In fact, I actually do get tired of having to watch what I say/do because other people aren't able to tolerate it. It's like I have to always remain content around whoever I'm with, even if there's something that truly gets me riled up. I feel that the only place I'm ever allowed to express my true self is when I'm at home alone. At least I don't feel the pressure to keep my feelings and emotions bottled inside. It's stressful for me to have to keep putting on a front and act pleasant all the time around people, especially the one's I don't like. :/

It's just funny to me though that if people saw me acting differently than how they used to see me as, they tend to be intimidated or scorn me. Most of the people I've been around with weren't afraid to show me just how immature they were (farting and burping around me, using swear words, ect) but then when they see me doing exactly the same thing, they become shocked and tell me I shouldn't do it. It's a double standard unfortunately.
