    Fallacy statement
    It takes someone with a really big heart to give charity, and you seem like some who cares more than most. Which fallacy?

    I would say that it is the fallacy of division. In other words, it is assumed that people with big hearts give to charity. If you are this type of person then it will follow you will also give to charity. The mistake is the assumption that what is true of the whole must be true of its parts.
