Sometimes I notice myself anticipating things out of people based on associations around them - not even consciously, it just emerges out of commonalities of interaction. For example, girls with blunt bangs and short haircuts tend to be artistic and queer.
Again - possible, but it doesn't feel like a complete or satisfying explanation. For every negative association I have, there's a bunch more positive ones that *started out* with a negative association with that type of person.

To answer your original question: Dude-bro type guys, there's a strong negative association (grew up with tons of them, most were bullies) but more recently I've been meeting more and more of them who are truly the nicest guys, next level accepting, loving, anti-bullying etc

Two birthdays ago, friends took me to see Tool at the Gorge; lots of dude-bros; I felt super out of place; if I hadn't decided to make an effort to "be friendly" and interact I wouldn't have learned how wrong my preconceptions of them were.
