I dont understand it. All males are generalized like men are like this and that. Likewise to the ladies. As far as i know, everybody is different in their way of thinking. Am I missing something here?

Nope.
Irrationality abounds ;-)

No, you're not missing anything. Like you say, men do the same about women.
All one can do is not participate in that stuff and tell a different story. That way you can inspire others, and at the very least feel better yourself AND stand a much better chance at finding love.

Yeah. I do feel blessed for not thinking that. I dont know why but people infuriate me when they designate all females as being one and the same in personality, way of thinking and so on. What is alarming to me is that i dont feel quite the same anger as they do to us. Wish i knew why

Maybe the natural instinct of a (healthy) man to want to protect women?
Whereas when it's about men it's more shrugging it off with a "whatever" as you don't feel personally attacked, knowing you are different.
Maybe it's that?

May be. I dont know. But what i know for sure is that i feel more angered when ladies are generalized more than men are
BTW, why dont ppl think like that? I mean why generalize? It might even help in their relationship

It's just human nature on both sides after a man/woman been through a few bad relationships one after the other they begin to think all are the same and instead of treating the next person they meet differently giving them a chance to prove them self separate and apart from the others they've meet they judge them before they get to prove themselves and treat them with a harsh hand

While we all aren't the same in some ways, we all are not different either. There are common characteristics of each and there is statistical evidence to back that up. When we talk about those characteristics, the term "all" is not appropriate but the terms "many" and "most" may be.

Not really.

Otherwise, society would not have had the same problems for thousands of years.

That's why this is one of my favorite quotes from a novel (This one is from "O, Pioneers" by Willa Cather, 1913):

β€œThere are only two or three human stories, and they go on repeating themselves as fiercely as if they had never happened before; like the larks in this country, that have been singing the same five notes over for thousands of years.”

Pleaser4life, I know what you are saying and I think a lot of people do that, but they also may not see that they are doing that.

Corre me if i am wrong but sometimes i feel that both genders kind of disrespect themselves when they say that. After all you must respect yourself first to be a success in anything, whether work, relationship or social life

When I read "hippocampus" in your post, I imagined hippos at college, shouldering backpacks, attending classes, etc,, with some saying things like, "I was the first in my herd to go to college. Still seems like the zoo, though."
