my love-hate relationship with stereotypes

was chatting with my friend on the way to tutorial that day. he then asked, "is that xxx bf?". i replied "ya..you mean you didnt know? they've been together for quite some time already". later on my friend went to made a comment that there's quite a numbers of couples btw our year mech eng students. yeah..quite true. i think i know about 5 me couples within my batch? later on, he went on to say that he will never get attached to engine girls. he say that engine girls are not his type, i argued that he's stereotyping. i feel that engine girls study engineering for various reasons. hence, character wise they are quite different too. he thinks otherwise, he insisted that engine girls arent his type without giving a proper reason so. that's such a hasty generalization lah. who knows man...i wont be surprised if his next gf happens to be from engine.

but then again, stereotyping helps us make decisions quickly. like during the process of making new friends. judging from the way your acquitance dresses, behaves, you can quickly decide whether he/she is a possible friend. i dont deny that i do stereotype people at times by being plainly bias. but on the other hand, i hate it when people stereotype me or others... haha. i critic others and other critic me.

meanwhile, i will anticipate and see what kindda gf that friend of mine will find.
