OT but EB

[fallen851]

But in different proportions. There's a reason stereotypes exist, and it's because they're true.

Yeah, because all EB players are computer nerds, right?

Stereotypes are generalizations, and when you generalize, you're wrong.

[LordElrond]

Thats generally true but not always.
Hey lets make up a new cliche while we're at it!

EB players are disproportionately history and computer nerds, definitely. I'm sure a computer nerd, I wrote an IRC bot. You don't get much more nerdy than that.

Generalizations are not absolutes. They're . . . generalizations. As in, they aren't true for everyone, but they're true disproportionately.

Let us reexamine LegioXXXUlpiaVictrix's original statement:

Most girls usually like to talk 25 hours a day about their own extreme problems (like "OMG I ran out of lipstick today and had to walk around an entire day without it, OMG it was SOOO embarrasing") and glorious achievements in their everyday life (like running 50 meters to catch a bus at the last second or similar), and don't seem to care if the man replies or not (well, after 15 minutes of silence they sometimes put up an angry face and the man wakes up and says "yeah I agree" and then they continue talking again with a happy face).

Clearly hyperbolic, but disregarding that, it essentially states only that girls like to talk about a lot of things that guys would view as trivial. This is, in general, patently true. Women talk about tons of things like makeup, furniture arrangement, how to dress, etc., that men generally care a lot less about. Obviously there are many women who don't care about those things, and many men who do, but that's why these are only true in general.
