In Praise of Average Average Dopers!

Based on numbers found here.

The averages for an NBA player are 6’7.4", 225.4 pounds, and 27.34 years old.

I am 6’9", 235, and 27 years old.

It may be a small and specific subset, but I am average.

I’m 5’10" and 160-ish (and male, in case there’s some n00b who didn’t know that). I’m a 21-year-old highschool student with a GPA of around 2 (let’s be generous) going to Local University. One of my parents works outside the home and the other stayed home to raise four kids and the accompanying dogs.

Every summer for several years we went on a one- or two-week vacation.

While in high school I played, among other things, baseball and football. I lettered twice. I took all the typical classes and was in productions of some sort.

I have brown hair.

Based on that, I am essentially Joe Normal.

But oh, the things that doesn’t tell about me:)

I’m pretty average looking… nothing exceptionally pretty about me (unless you count just my eyes) but the whole body thing… well I am taller than the average female… at least the ones I usually see, as I am 6’1 and weigh around 200lbs (mostly muscle)

The height won’t exclude me will it?

Oh and Ginger the BMI is messed I think, at least for certain people because according to it I border on morbidly obese. I am not even CLOSE to that (heck I’ve been losing weight lately notches her belt in again)

I’m short, but average weight for my height.

Average looks, average job, average kids, average pretty much everything.

Woohoo! Go average!

::looks around::

uhh, is there any place for us…sub-average people? Sub-average looks, sub-average smarts, etc.

Do we need to start our own thread?

I’m 6’2", 185 lbs…

Heh. Someone had to say it. . .

Persephone, you are hot. Anyone who tells you otherwise is … well, not selling something, but misinformed.

I am…uh…above average in weight [sub]I always have been an over achiever![sub] but average just about everywhere else.

Dear Penthouse Forum,

I never thought this would happen to me! I was walking down the street, and I saw this average woman! And since I’m average myself . . .

I’m utterly gorgeous, but I have an Average Family.

We’re a happy family
We’re a happy family
We’re a happy family
Me mom and daddy

Sitting here in Queens
Eating refried beans
We’re in all magazines
Gulpin’ down thorazines
We ain’t got no friends
Our troubles never end
No christmas cards to send
Daddy likes men

Slightly above average height. On the overweight side of healthy (which in the US is average). Average face. Average job. Average apartment. Average car.

Yep.
Go me.

I am extremely average as far as clothes go. All the dress shirts are in my size, and I have precisely no trouble finding pants that fit. Shoes, either. Physically, I am utterly average.

And then I open my mouth to speak. And I get looks, as Bill Hicks has said, like a dog that’s been shown a card trick. Averageness out the window.

Average intelligintz.

Hamma, I call Bullshit

You are way way way above average, AND you know it!

:smiley:

Don’t call Hama “Bullshit”. She will be sad. Besides which, she’s not just average in her temper, and she’ll kick your ass!

:wink:

Awright, [sub](hurls glove to the ground)[/sub] just WHO has been telling Hama she’s average?!?

T’aint so, McGee.

-Tygr, “too pretty to be ugly”

I like you average people, but not to any great length or anything.
