Odd Correlations

[Maco]

So Escapists, have you ever spotted weird relationships between x type of people and y subject/interest/hobby that just don't seem to have any reason behind them.

For example all the 'gamers' that I know are very much into hard rock and metal more than any other type of music. Not to mention that I've noticed a whole load of Escapists are too.

Obviously this involves a whole lot of generalizations but oh well.

Isn't this generalization to the extent of stereotyping?

It is just a observation you arn't saying all gamers like Metal just that you personally have noticed that many do. Personally I have noticed the trend as well it is fairly interesting.

I have also noticed that most people tend to end up with partners of the same ethnicity which I always thought was interesting. I have seen it get to the point where people assume you are not with other people just because you are not of the same ethnicity (which I always get a laugh out of).
