Usually The Chick, but occasionally The Smart Guy. With some of my younger friends, they overlap.

Tend to hop between The Big Guy, The Smart Guy, and The Lancer depending on group or situation. Usually get typecasted as The Smart Guy by others but I personally think I'm more of a (somewhat vertically challenged) Big Guy.

Disregard the dismal pun in my username.

I could be The Lancer, The Smart Guy, or The Chick.

By nature The Smart Guy or an interesting subversion of The Big Guy (being of worldwide average height in a race of big tall buggers); by inclination The Lancer; by training and, in the past, job description The Hero.

So...yeah.

Huh, this thread's been around longer than I have, I've it before, but I never posted in it.

Well, it depends on the group, right? Well, considering the group of friends I've had since high school, my roommate is pushy enough to serve as the leader / "Hero" in the group or at least one of them more often than not. There are a couple of our friends in the army who are physical and rowdy enough to safely be considered Big Guys. One of my best friends is probably one of the nicest guys I've ever met, and at a given time is probably the one of us who is most likely to be in a relationship. I'd count him as a Chick; I can tell he'd most want to be the Smart Guy, but he's been having a lot of trouble with school lately. His girlfriend seems to be a Smart Guy from what I've heard of her; amusingly, she's not very familiar at all with pop culture. There's another friend who is kind of hard to read sometimes. He's... I guess shrewd might be the right word? I certainly think he has some strong motivation. He's also kind of playful and I think quick to show annoyance. Lancer maybe?

As for what I bring to the group dynamic... I'm often pretty reserved and cautious. Sometimes I catch some flak from the group for playing it too safe. I'm not the most savvy, but I'm usually the one most eager to make sure no one is hurting themselves. If the group is doing something irresponsible, they usually expect me to be the one to voice an objection. I don't know if that sort of thing is closer to Heart, Chick, Lancer, or what. I'd like to be considered the Smart Guy, but I think my level of intelligence is probably around the same level as a few of the others.

What the hell, I'll say Smart Guy. At the very least I probably have the proper demeanor.

I'd obviously be the Tagalong Kid, tagging along for big adventures and getting quickly outclassed by my more awesome teammates. I won't be doing anything useful anytime soon, but you never know...

Depends on who else is in the group, really. But my old group of friends shaped up like this:

My friends would consider me The Smart Guy, but I'm pretty sure we could do better than me in that department. I'm more content to be the Straight Man lancer.

Honestly, probably The Hero since I'm often leading group projects.

The emotions of others can seem like such well guarded mysteries, people 8egin to 8elieve that's how their own emotions should 8e treated.
