I know two women, both straight, who love the Three Stooges! How's that for "unfeminine"!
Yep, I've known straight women who love the Three Stooges too. I don't love them, but I like them ok. :smile: I'd much rather watch a Three Stooges movie than a romantic comedy (which are usually full of gender stereotyping - ugh!) But my favorite comedy movies are stuff like Airplane, Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, etc... Mel Brooks and ZAZ! Oh yeah!
Oh yes. I accept that I'm gay, that I am into BDSM, that I have never had a romantic relationship, that I'm 43 and living with a parent, that I tend to be very direct with people, that I care very little about fashion, that I get emotional about the most ridiculous things while not about the most obvious things, that I have no job, that I'm a pathetic romantic, that I'm an underhung guy who posts on a board for overhung men, am mad about a presenter in a TV ad for Lincoln Technical Training School, and have an overly distilled sense of humor.
All in all I'm not that weird. As I've gotten older I have found people far more tolerant of it than when I was young and I was teased and beaten-up for it regularly.
The last paragraph relates to me as well - HOWEVER, part of that is that I moved from the rural Midwest to cities (first in the Midwest, then in the Southwest). I was actually rejected for my "weirdness" where I grew up until I moved out at the age of 32!
(I waited so long to move out because of finances - I lived with my parents until I was 32 and had a boyfriend I could move in with, who lived in the city, and after that I was also able to get a steady job - at least for a while, although now I'm back to financial instability again).
First off I have to say I think it's poetic justice that a guy with CB as his avatar asks this type of question LOL !
Secondly, as long as I can recall I have been the black sheep of the family. I have always been eccentric. Most of my family are right wing conservatives I am SOooooooo NOT, most are Christians , I have not been for many yrs . Sadly many of them are intolerant of race, I however refuse to see someone as basic as something as a color. They are all carnivores, I have not eaten red meat for 15 yrs.
You can see to my family I seem weird and that is something I have learned to be ok with. Even around my peers they are usually more De Rigueur than my bohemian self .
I have learned to LOVE IT and love myself . A very wise woman I hold in high regard once told me I am like an onion, there are many layers and each layer is richer than the one before !
HH
Same here except that I do eat meat - although I won't COOK it because I'm extremely squeamish and can't stand to look at or touch raw meat! (although I like sushi - go figure!) Most of my relatives are right-wing Christians and/or racists. I love living in an area with racial and ethnic diversity and wouldn't want it any other way. I'm not against Christians but I don't like the religious right - and I think a lot of people who say they are against Christians are that way because of the religious right - I was that way for a long time myself. But I've known reasonable Christians who are not like that. Granted, most of the Christians I've known HAVE been religious right, but I know there are exceptions out there now.
I also grew up with people who only listen to country music, go hunting, watch NASCAR, have a collection of guns, etc. I'm not actually against any of those things per se, but the people who have that combination of traits are generally people I'm not going to get along with. I like some country music although it's not one of my favorite genres. I had been known to watch NASCAR in a couple of instances - for a while they had a woman competing and I had to root for her; and I thought Jeff Gordon was hot. :biggrin1: Actually, I do have a problem with people who ONLY like country music, or for that matter who ONLY like metal, or who ONLY like (fill in the blank musical genre). I know one woman who ONLY likes classical music and hates rock, country, jazz, pretty much everything else! (ok, she'll listen to a little bit of New Age, but that's about it, and she'll complain if anyone around her is listening to music she doesn't like.
) Me, I like rock of pretty much all genres (although my favorite is indie rock), world music (all genres, with a special fondness for African music), folk, R&B, jazz, blues, traditional pop/standards, classical music from all eras, and a little country and a little New Age. Now granted that this is one of my particular forms of "weirdness" - the fact that my musical taste goes all over the place like it does! :biggrin1:
