Re: Do we become our own stereotype.
I'm skinny, 6 foot, long blonde hair with facial piercings (Oh and I'm male). I wear hoodies and baggy jeans most of the time. People always think I'm a stonner. When I tell them I have two degrees from Cambridge and I'm doing a DPhil at Oxford, they always look supprised (I have also worked for a living!). But then again, I did used to smoke a fair amount of gear, so maybe the stereotypes are kinda true.
I don' think the biker stereotypes hold true anymore cos so many different sorts of people ride now. I was amazed when I first joined the org at how many differnt jobs, ages and characters were on here. I guess I had my own stereotypical sort of biker in mind.
