People always mistaken me for someone not so smart because of my exterior looks. But what is the side that totally unrelates and opposes the "look" of a science person.

To name a few...

I drum,
Dress really casual,
Addicted to alternative and rock,
Wear black eyeliner on occasions :eek:
Style my hair,
Play a lot of games.

:eek:

Could ya please elaborate on yer question? I kinda don't get what yer asking.

Well, people always get a wrong impression of me because I listen to death and black metal while getting really drunk for entertainement. That somehow makes them think that I am a good for nothing bum who is too dumb to archieve anything.
My clothes also reflect that, I normally wear torn and ripped clothes that have some stains.
But after some time, they normally notice that looks can be very deceiving.

Umm, I'm asking a list of things that blind people from your scientific side. :)

That is very true.

For me, the fact that I have been known to have hallucinations that i am talking to God under the influence of psychotics makes people think of me as a white kid experimenting with drugs. I just simply like drugs and I have not noticed any brain cells being killed, my marks at school are effortlessly high and I tend to dress in just plain jeans and a t-shirt. My dreadlocks make people think that I smoke weed all the time. I don't smoke because I have to pay attention to my athletic ability. I love playing Tool quite loudly, but I have noticed that a lot of scientifically minded people listen to Tool.

I am not physically sexy....women find that out after they get to know me. I wear stripes so my gut gets hidden under the visage of a toned six pack but after the stripes come off so does the love the women have for me.

I am a dumbass.....people can't tell when they first see me. They always confuse me for some hot intellectual but then they get to know me and well.....

It is actually 13 inches long...it looks 8 inches at first but then...well you know what happens to make it 13 inches....

Well these are some of the things people don't realize about me.....

I feel so naked now.

weeeelllll...,
i am often mistaken for a goth with my black clothes, freakishly white skin and taste for death metal

Awesome, the only reason why some people mistake me for a goth is because of my black eyeliner, although people dont see that nowadays because of my damned shades.

It is actually 13 inches long...it looks 8 inches at first but then...well you know what happens to make it 13 inches....

Oh, sure.

Most of the time I look like a just have been drinking heavenly the night before, because that is what I actually did (I seem to have the seem entertainment system as dreamwalker).

But that is good, because my voice is lowered to a more sexy bass tone because of that. Well worth the hangover.

Well, I actually don't get much of a hangover for some reason. That is probably because I actually hardly ever have a headache.

I don't have a tv. I have small room only. Which means that I am never at home. I am therefore most of the time socializing.

If I am not, I am in the gym, or at work (not that I work much. I have up on that a long time ago).

I'm not sure what kind of look I have. Could be a cross between gay and sexy heterosexual beast.

Strangely enough lots of people like to hang around me. That is probably because often interesting things happen when I am around. This is amplified when I am with my drinking buddy. Some kind of positive feedback loop.

I always flirt with women. Not to get laid, but I like flirting. I think I am too obsessed with women, but not in a desperate manner. It is more a question of focus on the world.

people always estimate me a few years younger than I am, probably because I don't dress like an old fart and because of my immature behaviour. But you already know about my immature behaviour.

And I can't keep my mouth shut in social gatherings. Which can be really annoying for other people. Especially because I tend to say really fucking weird things. My friends find that amusing because they have a similar sense of humour, but it shocks the 'ordinary' people.

I'm not sure what kind of look I have. Could be a cross between gay and sexy heterosexual beast.

Judging from yer pics, I'd certainly say so. :p

damn right!

Right now, I have a pair of pants with giant tears at the knees. They are baggy. I like them. I look like a punk. I also don't look smart cuz of them. My glasses help make me look smart. My sideburns just make me look like a redneck.

So I guess I look more like a punk redneck than a smart person.

Most people actually are immediately annoyed with me, because they think I am in love with myself.

I am of course. Why wouldn't I be?

Why wouldn't I be?

Especially since ye'r an übersexy could-be-homo-but-could-also-be-hetero beast!

(This is fun!)

EDIT:


YES!!! MY 600TH POST!!!!!

most of the time when people make wrong assumtions its cause i wanted them to, most of the time i present myself differently to others just for the hell of it. a joke perhaps, i dont know. i have managed to make various people think i am, nerdy, goth, stupid, a chatty socialite and most common stereotypes that i can acheive.
i really dont know why i do it.

meh.
therefore most people dont look at me as 'sciency' or anything. just me. since i dont care about my appearance.. or anything else that is not science or philosophy based, most people do not really judge me. woot.

1943 posts. yay me. by the end of the week.. 2000 will be done.

The fact that I am an avid musician makes people think That I'm not good in academics and that I hate science. I think that science and music go together quite well.

That's weird. I also often tell people the strangest stories with sincerity. And they tend to believe them. And after that they actually don't believe me when I for a change tell the truth.

accually Music helps math and reading alot (helping in math can help in science and many other subjects) becuase the the rymth and etc ^^^

where the hell does the word 'woot' come from anyway?

from urbandictionary.com

"w00t" was originally an trunicated expression common among players of Dungeons and Dragons tabletop role-playing game for "Wow, loot!" Thus the term passed into the net-culture where it thrived in video game communities and lost its original meaning and is used simply as a term of excitement.

Heres my unscientific side,lol

Here is my scientifical side! :p
always exploring (http://dzilmeza.piparmetra.net/images/zoom/UPJSMZ/kapotis_kokaitis.jpg)

Ok, Skullz looks definitely a bit unsientifical. :D

My unscientifical side is in the picture thread.

Wow, I find I am one of the most stereotypical science fans out there. I wear plain cloths usually. In the summer I wear either basketball shorts or kaki shorts, but in the winter I wear sweaters and kaki pants or a hoody and some jeans.
I listen to mostly classical music (all other music seems too contrived) or tool.
I play basketball (for recreation now, in high school I played on the team) but since I am 6’10” its mandatory =]
My favorite show is Scrubs, second would have to be Chappell’s show.
I find it fun to discuss how life really has no meaning and that the only reason I am alive is to change the world, or at least contribute more than the average person to society.
I currently find my self infatuated with a girl I go to college with, we are friends because she is really cool, but since she is so sweet I wont try and break up the relationship she is in currently…between a rock and a hard place… =] (I told her about this site, I hope she don’t read my post, I am happy just being friends with her)

And that’s me in a nutshell.

p.s. I am 6’10 and wear a 15-16 shoe, there is no way you are 13” because I am not even that big. =]

K, i'm bringing this thread back.

Me? Everyone gets the wrong idea about me. At first, i got everyone tricked into thinking i'm the quiet sweet innocent chick....... then i start making induendoes and cracking dirty jokes and being randomly shameless, and noone knows What to think, least of all me. I'll listen to Mozart's Requirium, Linkin and Bon Jovi all in the same night, and will go to the graveyard after a macca's run.

yay, good to know that its not just me and my friends that hang out in the graveyard

I usually have paint all over me. I barely say anything in live company, so people always have a hard time judging me beyond my appearance.
Heheh, even fellow sciforumers don't know I browse the actual science sections :P

I'm just an old guy sittin' in a rockin' chair on the porch down here in the Missouri Ozarks. Retired, a nice pension, no bills, no mortgage, two Broncos and a station wagon. Oh yeah...and a wife and four dogs!

I start drinking about 9am (hell, it's five o'clock somewhere in the world). Ain't retirement great!

My unscientific side? Pretty much everything i post. I only hang out here in an attempt to gain intellect by association.


hell, it's five o'clock somewhere in the world

:p amen brother

My religious side, and to some extent my political side.

Don't get me wrong, I fully acknowledge the validity of evolution.

I appear to be a pseudo-jock, but really come off as a pseudo-nerd. I think the only time I was in a place where people had only their first impression to go on, I was in Mexico. Drinking ensued. So people really didn't get a chance to know me. I was just another kids from the States getting drunk with his parents' money.

I'm scientifically oriented, and everyone who knows me knows it. Ah well. However, I'm a bit random.

A couple days ago I had to give an argument for prostitution, so as I said big words in front of the class I stripped, then dressed up as a prostitute. I think I'm either going to fail or get an A on that.
Ah well, such is life.

Nothing about me is scientifical. Actually the closest I would come to being scientifical would be by acknowledging that scientifical isn't a word (or atleast shouldn't be).
I only reveal my intelligent side when I'm wasted with my friends. They'll always get into some "deep discussion" when they're boozing and/or whatever, something like what we would discuss here, only they're idiots.
We'll all be tanked and then some argument will come up about something and I'll just sit there silently listening to their shit but eventually lose it and emphatically end the discussion with one angry impatient paragraph's worth of speach.
Then there will be a pause and they'll look at eachother and say "he's smart eh?" and I'll be like "yeah, can we get back to the nude ecstasy olympics now?".

I'm generally an extremely immature child who's messed up in the head. Intelligent doesn't fit the description of me as a person and when i say profound things everyone is kind of shocked.

Even my intelligent side isn't scientific though really.

I smoke pot. For some reason, people seem to think you are dumb if you do so. So I let them believe it. It's more fun that way. You can really fuck with a person when they underestimate you.

yay for us potheads, people only think it makes you stupid because it slows your nerves while it is in effect, the only problems arise from smoknig it, but a cake filled with hashish is always good

Since when is smart equal to scientific?

My other side... I am thought of as a bit of a psycho at uni. Perhaps because of my obsession with all things sharp and the throwing of said things. I am a highly corruptive influence on my friends and take great pride in lowering the tone whenever possible.

I greatly enjoy classical music and opera, but am not afraid to say I listen to a bit of mindless electronic music as well.

I dress smart-casual or just jeans / T-shirt and although I don't think I look like a nerd, it's pretty clear I am a bit since all my friends say so!


but a cake filled with hashish is always good

*shiver* ... I was so destroyed I was actually sick. TBH I've never felt the same since; I've completely given up all drugs since then. (Except alcohol/caffeine and I wouldn't say 'No' to few mushrooms if they occasionally showed up. Ooo... and that horsey stuff was interesting).

Seriously, I'm not a junky like vslayer! :)

When I was in school in the forties and fifties, only jerks and losers used illegal drugs. Some of the guys in my highschool would even go down to the park across from Union Station and "roll" 'em just for fun. My, how times have changed.

Nothing diminishes my opinion of a person so much as to know that they use illegal drugs. The mind is too precious a thing to lose. Yeah! I'm a straight-laced atheist sitting in a rocking chair enjoying my retirement with a clear mind.

I assure you, any such diminishing opinions you may have towards me are well deserved!

I would extend such feelings however, to abusers of legal drugs. For chemistry does not care about the law.

A drug is a drug.

You abuse it or you don't.

Weed is illegal, and even tho I have only smoked weed 3 times this entire year. I feel that it is not a bad drug.

It is just the poeple that abuse it, that give it a bad name.

Oh... but it is a gateway drug isn't it? Wait.... who said this? The government....? Must be true yes.

Heck marv, I congradulate you for being "drug" free.

But calling drug users jerks and losers.....

What about shakespear? He drank absinthe and smoked crack...
And alot of other famous painters, writers and historians ate magical mushrooms (AKA: Shrooms)

Like I said... The poeple that abuse drugs give it a bad name...

Caffien is a "legal" drug.... so is alcohol... are we fucking up our bodies and minds less when we use these drugs? Clearly not.

I do not know if sugar is considered a drug... but if it is... it is a highly addictive and abusive drug.... why has it not been out lawed? Same with caffien....

Why don't these most addictive subtance not outlawed? Becuase governments and companys can make money off of it.

Yet still, these subtances can be legaly abused with no question about it.

You look at a bunch of potheads vs a group of drunk friends... One will sit at home watching 3 stooges at 3 in the morning after playing some video games. The other will start bar fights, and even drive drunk... Either way, someone will get hurt or even die...

I'm not saying all drunks and stoners act like THIS, but it is a fair statment.

I have spoken my mind.... :)

lol fairplay mate.
i had to write a letter to a newspaper arguing for the Cannabis to be made legal at school. It was pretty much the same argument as yours A Canadian, but my teacher said it was basically saying "Two wrongs make a right" or something stupid like that.

Anyway back to the topic at hand. most people don't think im smart or scientific because i am a bit slow. im not actually retarded and i have no disabilities whatsoever but i have NO commen sense either. My mates will be talking about something which to them is "deep" and then illsit quietly listening, and laughign on the inside then i'll say something actualyl wise and there'll be a pause, then they'll say "yeah but..." and totally disregard my comment because they don't see me as intellectual then i'll say something like "Dude, this is psychology, there is NOTHING about psychology that you know and i don't. i kick your ass when it comes to this topic"

so yeah. also my appearance doesn't help me much either. i straighten my hair & i dress casually yet stylishly. So a lot of ppl question my sexuality, but when it comes down to it, i do most of this for the women. And they love it!

I come off on most people as a whimsical wandering twat -- sometimes dressed terribly formal and beautiful, sometimes throwing on something I probably wore yesterday, and sometimes wearing my shirts backwards from being careless.

I go around writing on chalkboards, and if there isn't chalk, I swipe the erasers on the chalkboard a few times so I can proceed to write with my finger. My favorite time to cause such mayhem is French class [as I loathe the language]. I start writing backwards on the board - in Spanish, as a protest, or esoteric equations I've picked up somewhere [but probably have no clue on their significance], or even subliminally anti-m$ messages. And I continue to do so when he begins teaching. I ignore most of my teachers, though not as much so I get written up and marked in the record books.

What people think of me is trivial, but I love guessing. They *seem* to fear me.

I used to be taunted because I was younger and Chinese, though I've learned to manipulate others, and that seems to be happening less. No one ever knows what to get from me. If I get angry, I stay angry, and probably won't change my feelings toward someone until, as one of my friends put it, "for as many seconds as there are primes in the universe" have gone by. At least, that’s what they think. Within 48 hours I'm probably hugging them again.

They also seem to despise me. I enjoy picking on their very trivial matters, making them think I’m trying to use it to humiliate them or something.

And, they also love me. For some reason, I've heard people say that they admire me. Uhhhh...that sounds so wrong.

I used to be mistaken for a girl who has her nose buried in a book and never comes out, and probably wants to go to Harvard [ewww]. Now that I :: gasp :: swear more often, :: gasp :: freely talk about sexual practices, and :: gasp :: skip class! [O.O!!!!111 one one shift+1] I’m no longer a considered a geek [in school hierarchy]! Yah, stereotypes are sometimes funny.

As much as I get angry, I also get flirty for no apparent reason. It’s not that I’m interested in boys, even. In fact, I try to give them the impression that they're not good enough for me - and when they see a conceited girl, they tend to stay away. Which is perfectly fine, and what I want. But then the party goes on when I start giggling and throwing fits and shoving them in the wall and piggyback riding.

My social life is really weird. I mean, most of the time, I'm excluded, but then for some reason, suddenly, I’m the center of attention.

Generally, I can say that my unscientific side consists of acting like a hamster and singing karaoke.

... my cats breath smells like cat food.
