is this a bad method of viewing people?

[Deathgod7421]

i take a look at the larger population view statistics and even when asking individual people questions (like on here) i often take things on a majority rules type thing and while i try not to say "all" i do often say most (men women or racial specific although i havent had any racial specific questions on here)

"most men ____"
"most women ____"

i keep an open mind to individuals however i often take social cues and other hints to what type of person they are and keep them in that category until i have enough information to know which parts of stereotypical information they are either exactly spot on or are rare exceptions in
