stereotypes

Contrary to popular belief, men actually have feelings. Trust us when we say we were just as shocked as you when we found out. In all seriousness, it's cool to take a walk on the wild side with the dudes of the world once in a while. On a recent AskMen thread, a Redditor asked Reddit men what they wish women would stop assuming about them, and boy, we mean it when we say these dudes went off. Scroll down to see what they had to say. And while we're on the topic, ladies - what do you wish men would stop by assuming about you? Let us know in the comments. 

A lot of us like to think we have types. Tall, dark, and handsome, skater boy, blonde hair, curly hair, etc, etc. But of course, all of those standards fly right out the window when we find someone we actually like, or that there is palpable chemistry with. We all know that girl who says, "My partner was not my type AT ALL when we met." Debunking our own ideas of what we want is one of the exciting parts of putting ourselves out there and going on dates. 

Americans are known for a lot of things. Some stereotypes are cool, like how we are known to have the craziest college experiences, fairly good customer service, and unlimited drink refills. These generalizations don't tend to bother anyone. However, there are less flattering ones as well... Unfortunately, Americans don't have the reputation of being the sharpest tools in the shed. Which, of course, is not always true! But after seeing these comments from TikTok, it might help you understand where this stereotype came from.

America likes to think that their culture is superior and nothing that they do is weird at all. They expect that everybody looks up to them from other countries and that they are basically the best in every way shape and form. As an American, I don't think I'm very qualified to be the one to burst this bubble, so I'll let Redditors do it for me.

People on Reddit are sharing the weird things that Americans do that they initially thought were just silly stereotypes from films and such, but are actually very true. Some of these cultural norms are less flattering than others.

If you've watched enough movies, you start to become familiar with the Cliche's associated with certain types of people. You know, all those movie character stereotypes like the competitive soccer mom, the kind-hearted cop or the fat best friend. They can be tiresome, but when called out and identified, they're actually pretty funny. Rory Turnbull, an assistant linguistics professor in Hawaii (according to his Twitter bio) tweeted a movie trope about his profession that nailed the stereotype so hard the tweet went totally viral. 

In "Dressing Up As Tinder Cliches", a couple decided to have a little fun with Tinder and to recreate the stereotypes and clichés met on the famous dating app. Via: Ufunk
