This is akin to making a "White power!" thread. Would PC allow that?
Nothing wrong with being white. I won't go there though, so dismiss that please.

I know this may come as a shock to most of you, but... I'm straight. I hope this doesn't change your opinions of me.

It's great that there's finally a thread for this, since, clearly, heterosexuals are the minority in this forum. Thanks Matt.
It's no problem man, no problem. I understand you were a little worried that people would change how they treat you when they found out you were straight, but you'll be ok man.

Anyone else feel the need to like sports you don't really like just to fit in?
The thought of stereotypical alpha male behavior and interests really bothers me. I feel like I have to be someone who loves to watch sports - regardless of what it is - just so people would like me more. I don't do that, though, because I have no interest in the majority of the sports out there apart from soccer, tennis, and volleyball. But it really bothers me when someone who isn't an alpha male is automatically assumed for being gay, which I expressed in the other thread.

Matt, I think you are a very foxy individual.

I don't think it's necessary to state the obvious, but at the same time, felt that it was necessary to point that out.
Thanks man, it feels good to know people don't just take me as the botch standard stereotypical straight brit, because I'm really not.

Have to agree with people in the UK having sex way to early, there have been a few pregnancys in my school with people that are 13/14. It has become really bad.

I waited a fair old time even after hitting 16 (3years). I didn't see the point in just doing what my friends did and going town all the time just to get some. The way I see it its better to know person more, I knew mine for 6 years ahah yeh long time I know, was together a while first aswell, and the wait was definatly worth it.

But sexual abstinence doesn't necessarily mean abstinence from relationships. It's just abstinence from sexual behavior and practices.
Oh, no, I was just throwin that out there.

This is exactly what I mean. It's the same as why a lot of guys drink beer as opposed to a vodka based alchopop when they're out, just to keep up the image.

well i would like to play football at my school but if i tried i would be called a lesbian but really i just want to be in the locker room with the guys ;_;
That's sad, you should be allowed to play sports, it really sucks how girls and boys are segregated so much by stereotypes.

This thread is seriously getting populaaaaaaaaaaaaar!

I'm shy with the girls, unless I've known them a while.
Except one, I've known her since 7th grade and we are the closest friends, but lately I've grown to like her more, like love.
I don't know what to do. >__>

With enemies like that, who needs friends?

Yes...

I'm not accepted at my school whatsoever.Or here for that matter...

If you don't wear size double zero jeans, XXS tops or don't play sports, you aren't cool.

I hate the whole size zero ethic that young girls seem to follow today, it's not safe, or natural.

This just might become my new favorite thread. :D

Anyways I'm a girl and I'm straight. Hmm, the only double standard I can think of that bothers me is when girls are called names for being a bit promiscuous while boys get high fives. It's a little annoying to me.
Yes! like when a guy does it it's all "you the man playah!" I hate that.

It's like, why werent women recognized as potential powerful figures in the first place?
i live in a small town in southern us, here most people don't acknowledge that quite a few of the worlds greatest leaders were women and most of the guys i know have that dominant-male mindset. i've been told countless times how i should be in the kitchen instead of [insert common, everyday activity here]ing.

I was lucky enough to go to a high school that was more interested in the marching band than the sports teams. Even so, as a girl, most people assumed I had no interest in sports anyway. I do, just not the ones that everybody else is interested in, and if I went to sporting events I ended up having to root for my school's rival due to the fact that my uncle was the coach.

I think the most awkward thing for me so far is the fact that I'm in college and I've never been in a relationship before. People in my classes are getting engaged and/or have kids, and I'm still holding out for somebody to reciprocate feelings of adoration. The last guy I found myself interested in turned out to be gay and in a serious relationship, but I realized it was a desperate interest anyway.

it's ok to hold out, there's no reason to feel pressured by how fast-paced our generation has become with spewing out babies and getting into relationships that are usually based on lust. you'll know when the right guy comes along.

Steroetypes annoy me, people always thought I was wierd because of what I liked, it was only when we got to 17/18 when people eventually grew up and opened their minds to other things.

I personally prefer to be different rather than the same as every other person.
