.. now you are being deceptive..

I am a woman. ALL women are right?

All women are sweet angels.

Because people are people and some realise they are doing it, some dont. In Mingle we are a culturepot of opinions, beliefs and 'generalisations' All of us fall short of perfect and some know it and some dont and some just dont care.
You get the same thing walking down the street. Differences are what makes us unique.

maybe to feel included

Was this entire thread established and intended as a satire?

Just in case... two points:

1. People are trained and encouraged to generalize from the moment they are born onward. That's why we all do it so readily.

2. There is nothing wrong with fact-based generalizations. They are NOT inaccurate. Where people go wrong, is in how they try to apply and use them.

Not enough people ever get the most important training on how to utilize the generalizations they make or hear. the most important thing is, to recognize that they only work in ONE direction. Not BOTH directions.

That is, you CAN start from individual examples, to build an accurate generalization.

However you can NOT start from a generalization and use it to declare anything with certainty about individual examples.

In the world of online dating, an example of how this maddeningly goes wrong, is that someone correctly deduces from many observations, that women generally respond more readily and positively to compliments than to criticism. They then head the wrong way with that generalization, by wailing piteously when the particular woman they have their eye on, fails to respond positively to the particular bit of flattery they target them with.

They blame the generalization for misleading them, but that's not what happened at all.
