I’ll start.

I’m a 30-something middle class white woman drinking Pinot and listening to Dido while her DH is working away.

I’m also wearing a Breton-striped jumper and love naice ham.

What have I become?

Your turn

@ZednotZee I feel you. I also have 5 children. Stereotypical laundry woman Grin

I'm Italian - I like feeding people, wave my arms about when I talk, and make DS1 wear a vest under his school clothes 99% of the time.
I'm still stereotypically slim but on the minus side I have quite hairy arms and that bleach stuff stings!

A mum to an under 1. Spend my free time looking at photos of him when he's in bed for the night.

Enjoy. Flowers

I'm a vegan crossfitter who drinks craft beer Blush

My favourite true stereotype about myself is that I’m menopausal and—while
I am polite and enjoy making friends—I truly do not care what you think about me.

It works, or it doesn’t. That’s fine.

I own horses. I spend a lot of my time at home mooching around in jodhpurs.

And often I do actually prefer the company of horses to people.

Willow79 · 07/05/2021 23:23

Redhead and a true firebrand in bed and out of it 😁

Also what @StoneofDestiny said. I have an endless of irn bru. I lived abroad for years and I'm making up for lost time.

Susannahmoody · 07/05/2021 23:24

British = cut above

If only they knew 😅

PinkArt · 07/05/2021 23:24

I work in 'the media'. My coffee order is an oat milk flat white

XenoBitch · 07/05/2021 23:27

I am unemployed and on benefits (UC), so that means I have Sky, and a flat screen TV that covers all of my lounge wall. I also have a staffy dog, and 4 kids from 5 dads.

I am on UC.. the rest is balls.

MindtheBelleek · 07/05/2021 23:28

Writer. I have actually walked (painfully) into a lamppost while thinking about my current book.

Mrsjayy · 07/05/2021 23:35

@StoneofDestiny

Glaswegian - friendly, great sense of humour, but not to be messed with, challenges injustice, bows to nobody.
Another Glaswegian here 🙋🏻‍♀️ Talk to everyone, love a good laugh, am an “able wee piece” according to my mum 🤣
HowManyToes · 07/05/2021 23:49

I’m a millennial. I have a side parting, wear skinny jeans and I fucking love avocado

DiseasesOfTheSheep · 07/05/2021 23:55

Horsey girls love their horses more than the men in their lives. In my case, there's just no contest. I'd rather be in my hair and straw covered hoodie, up to my knees in mud, any day.

Feather12 · 07/05/2021 23:58

I am a Brit in the US. I drink gallons of tea and swear like a roadman.

MynameisnotClemmie · 07/05/2021 23:58

I was raised in a strict catholic household and I feel guilty about everything You name it and in my head I can make it my fault.

Clevererthanyou · 07/05/2021 23:59

Morbidly obese and I absolutely adore dessert Grin

OutComeTheWolves · 08/05/2021 00:00

Another millennial here. I'll be wearing skinny jeans until they have to prise them off my cold dead legs.

I also have a side parting and over use emojis.

BlueHairGirl · 08/05/2021 00:10

I'd like to think I'm not that basic but I feel like such a basic white girl every time I order my favourite caramel latte and pay a fortune for it. I've started getting it extra hot so it lasts longer and need decaff because I'm pregnant, so it's a fussy long order yet I keep doing it 😆

TheThermalStair · 08/05/2021 00:11

I’m from a the remote countryside and I participate in pagan midsummer rites which are frightening to outsiders.

Biscusting · 08/05/2021 00:13

Shit, snuggly reading this thread feeling a wasn’t a stereotype until I saw the skinny jeans millennial comments.....I don’t over use emojis

Bumbling academic (Literature). House a jumble of everything, but my bookshelves are immaculate. Have an 8 week old son and I'm incredibly bemused that I cannot find an instruction manual for him on any of these shelves. Grin
