I definitely rank in the broke-ass college student stereotype, as my clothes continue to deteriorate and I have no money to replace them (same goes for my cars). Not sure what the full beard puts off, people walk into my home, and see all the electronics, computers, and such, and instantly know I'm a geek (which I'm proud of). Unless I'm going to a specific destination where dogs are not allowed my dog is always with me, so then I'd be the stereotypical animal lover. I guess, the full beard, generally flannels in colder weather, and my rottweiler looking dog (rottweiler/blue heeler mix) and the fact that most of my clothes are blue I know LOTS of people think I'm some sort of gangster, nope, just like the color blue, and although my dog acts ferocious when he first meets people he's gentle as can be. I'd love to get rid of that gangster stereotype, but oh well I always smile at everyone I make eye contact with (strangers, friends, angry looking fellows, anyone), and well that's me and first impressions in a nutshell.
