As a follow-up, nobody is free from making some form of stereotypes. Humans naturally like to categorize and segregate things. If you think you're free from stereotyping, you're blind to it and/or fooling yourself otherwise.
True that.

However, I think there's a big difference between simply stereotyping over letting said stereotyping dictate how you would live your life.

I love girls with blonde hair, yet, I think it would be foolish if I were to walk away from a good relationship simply because the girls' hair in question is not blonde. A personal preference is just that, it is not a rule or a guideline that dictates how I should decide things in life.
