I REALLY dont think he was stereotyping. I think he was OBSERVING what he sees.

I have generally seen women playing Eldar and Tau, I've seen one play orcs (VERY well i might add), one who played Pedro Marines (and whooped me at the last game at a GT) and I saw one play Daemons who won the Bay area open. I had one at my house last night putting together her very first army: Necrons. Nonetheless, i can honestly say that I see MORE Eldar players amongst them. But then there are so few females PLAYINg that its easy to see how the very few examples there are could skew someones perception of what they normally are SEEN playing.

He was just trying to help, shared hsi observation and he wasn't "stereotyping".

Honestly, if you're trying to get someone into the game, show them the online catalogues, ask them which models they like the most and take the shootier units from that army codex!
Most of the different armies in 40k can be made into a shooty army
