My question is a general one but I guess an easy way to think about it is if you were in high school (or if you are in high school like me) where would you sit in the lunchroom? I hate sterotypes and a human being is never as simple as a jock or a loner but it would be interesting to get an honest assessment from people. Most outsiders to the hobby (at least in my experience) view us as nerds, not to say that there's anything wrong with that but I've realized that it's not blanketly true. A guy in my GW in NYC spends his time when not kicking ass with his Eldar, pumping iron and running track (Dude is buff.) Most people would call me a stoner I guess, as I spend lots of my free time modeling my mind with green stuff (see what I did there).
Feel free to go in depth, I guess what I'm trying find out is the kind of people that play warhammer.

In High school I sat with the Jocks, I played football so it made sense. Now my friends view me as the intelligent eccentric funny one. I love the line "it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring." and live by it.

Truer words were never said.
As for me, people have tried to label me and consistently fail. I wear black and spikes and band-shirts, but I hang out with everyone and I'm fun to be around, so they can never pin me down as anything in particular. In regard to the nerd who plays 40k stereotype? I wouldn't say I fit in with that by a long shot.

My high school (in last year of collage right now to put it in perceptive) didn't have the stereotypical "Cliques" for some reason (probably because it was a small class, only 150 students). I think I fit into the geek/nerd stereotype if a little more outgoing, I am after all a self-proclaimed Trekkie and proud of it!

I sat with the other nerds, geeks, artists and musicians in high school. I got harassed by some scrubs because I had long hair and wasn't part of their clique. That's just high school.
Honestly, there isn't one kind of person who plays any given game. All those labels and cliques you're dealing with in high school evaporate pretty quickly once you're out and into something resembling the real world. Sometimes they carry over into college, but people who care about that garbage drop out in the first year.
In other words, all kinds of folks play with tiny plastic spacemen, and while they do trend towards a nerdier type of person 99.9% of the population won't give a damn. As long as you don't run around screaming Warhammerisms and telling people on the bus how much you love gluing tiny guns to tiny hands you'll be fine. In other words, act like a human being and nobody will care.

Well I am a complete mongrol.
Played football and tennis (some in college too) in high school, but spent more weekends doing DnD than anything else.
In college I hung with the preps and elitists but always found time to go home once a week to game.
Now I am a married prep school teacher working on a fairly sophisticated grad degree (and raising two wonderful daughters), but run a club for high school students during the school year, and run one of the 40k nights at our FLGS.
As to how people see me, I really don't give it much thought. I try to teach high principles and live by them. High school students love to call out hypocrisy when they see it, and so far, with the Lord's grace, I've been able to live by high but realistic standards and been humble enough to admit my failings and seek to erase them. I like to think people see in me what I want to project, but how can you ever truly know what others see?

In high school most of my friends (who were all gamers) turned out to be labeled ' gifted underachievers' and hung with the hessians. Nowdays I run a construction company, raise 3 great kids (who are occasional gamers), & game with a teacher, engineer, several students (college & HS), a few armed service members and various others. Like was said above, most labels evaporate after school.

First things first, holy crap its Fitzz!
Secondly, and back on topic, I have people who view me in different lights.
At work they see me as a mostly reliable fellow, I may show up five or so minutes late but I always show up and perform to the best of my abilities.
At school they see me as a creator of horrible puns and overall wise cracker. In fact I made a fellow student relatively upset when I asked him about his relationships in Mass Effect 3, he had given up porn for Lent, and everybody got a bit of a chuckle.
At home they see me as a great kid, I mess up, but overall they hold me in high regard. I've been told that I would be a great father because I'm a great babysitter and its not uncommon for me to take the kids I babysit fishing, teach them new boardgames (just taught them Risk the other day), cook, and in general be awesome.
So I guess I'm a mostly good, reliable, wise cracker who has a chance of being a good father.

Errr, who did I sit with? I have no idea considering there was like 3 groups of friends I moved around to at lunch based on whoever I was in the mood of dealing with. One group was the hardcore handball players (the tennis version), the other was like a mix of hot punk rock girls and pea brained jocks, then there was the last group of tech heads and video game fanatics.
I don't know if any other highschool was like mine but everyone sort of got along unless you were a tosser, but eventually you were forgiven. So it wasn't too bad, if you thought you were better than anyone else then you were just up yourself. It was always funny watching the earlier grades trying too hard to make a name for themselves and just end up looking like little turds.

At highschool I was the quiet lad, and also the butt of some jokes until one day I snapped and beated the crap outta one of the jocks, then they left me alone in my quietness. I was "semi" """popular""" because I could draw somewht decently, but was mostly people around me wanting to get free drawings; not falling for that didn't helped there xD
Now, depends who you ask. To my family, I'm eccentric, at work they say I'm a crazy genius (not because I'm smart per se but because I learn somewhat fast and if I don't know how to do something, I don't fear the "trial and error" method. My friends will just say that I'm insane and was born a couple centuries late. Of course that's what they say in my face... sometimes I wonder what they really think, sometimes I wonder if I want to know ó.ò

I hung with a couple of other tech-minded guys in school. I wasn't a gamer, or a Goth (but I did wear a lot of black - but that was a utilitarian choice - it showed less dirt) but listened to Goth, 'metal' and "Rock' music (it was the early-mid 80s, so metal was still Iron Maiden or Sabbath, Motorhead or Metallica (the good years). I didn't wear a trenchcoat. Or cargoes. We hung out in the library or the 'shop (practising our electronics and soldering). As to what others view me as or have viewed me as ... Let me say that one of my essays would get me mandatory counselling these days (and the black clothing wouldn't have helped, or the interest in electronics AND chemistry/explosives).

I sat with the nerds, but made conversation with everyone.
Honestly, my high school persona is a crap ton more boring than my mid college and beyond one. In high school I had no direction, and couldn't apply myself to anything. I sat around with my mates making dirty jokes all the live long day with no skill or style to speak of, and I was perfectly content with it. While I'm not particularly happy it took as long as it did to get where I am now, I'm content with what I turned into, as well as knowing I've still got much to learn.

Like other people that posted. I mostly sat with the nerds, but I had friends in most of the cliques. I played football, ran track, was in weight training 3/4 years of highschool, but I also had long hair, wore band shirts, and drove around blaring metal and punk rock. I also loved working on cars, and helped up parents remodel and landscape out house. Honestly, there were only a few people I didn't get along with or had anything in common with....and that's mostly because I grew up in a "upper middle class" town, and they were really high on their pedestal to talk to lowly little me. Same went with college, and now even into work...but I no longer have the long hair

When I was in high school (I must qualify my answer by stating this was 1981-1984) I sat with a bunch of fellow outcasts. We got our pick of tables, because there was a lifelong martial arts student, a knife expert, a burgeoning Khorne Berserker (Me, back then, I've mellowed considerably since...) and two openly practicing satanists. (I didn't start until much later). We only got picked on by the stupidest of the stupid, and even they wised up after a while. We were the most angst-free bunch in the whole school.

It's been 20 years since I was last at school, and we didn't have cliques as such.
Now?
As far as I can tell, At work I'm viewed as a reliable, competent tech, who can be left to get on with whatever job needs doing.
At play, A good outdoorsman and decent gamer.
At home, Apparently I'm a fantastic Husband, but my Wife may be slightly biased...

Or, you would, if the RM had that rank.
Oh yeah gratz on your doctorate Dogma, educational achievments are always something to be celebrated by people that are intelligent but didnt go to University. I sometimes wish I had spent more time on full time education and less time firing a big machine gun at people..
Anyway, good fething effort!

I'm one of many people who often wishes he spent less time in dark research labs pining for the approval of the people at the top of the Ivory Tower.

Very true indeed old boy..
I try and think that whenever I get a "what if" moment. It's a part of being human I think.. After all, we have to pick between things each and every day. Sometimes I'm pissed that I got the chicken instead of the steak, or the bitter instead of the stout, so I guess I would probably wish I had joined the RM if I became a Graphic Designer or an Engineer.
......
Oh yeah, but If I'm pissed about getting the bitter instead of the stout, I always make sure I go back to the bar and get a stout as well.

I jest, I was home schooled up until recently. My friends see me as the shy, quiet guy that doesn't speak unless he has something to say, except for one that is. She is the only reason I have friends because she literally grabbed my chair and drug dragged me over to the group because I looked so pathetic.  I don't know how strangers see me, possibly they see a scared, scrawny guy who looks like he is lost, or lost in thought.
Sorry, it was annoying me
I don't care which sub-standard dictionaries allow this, Oxford, American Heritage and New World lexicographers do not recognise 'drug' in this context.
No need to apologize, I was unaware it was not a correct use of the word "drug".

Loner that mixed in somewhat with the art and music groups and was kinda like a honorary member of the valedictorian's circle. The most telling and common question though was people asking me to not blow up the place or reenact Columbine. Laughing was probably not the best reaction in the situation... I was always really shy and quiet, but was told later on that I looked like someone with a lot of pent up rage. Eh, nowadays I get mistaken as a stoner most commonly.
