[Closed] Are you above average?

Yes.

No very average! It's all in the girth

Apparently yes.

What are we taking the average to be?

'Average' represents the very summit of my ambition. Though, to be honest, I prefer the word mediocre

Yes, by quite a bit

Well, I certainly have more than the average number of limbs

Half of me is and half of me isn't.

No, I'm not fat enough

No, I'm too fat.

I am average

My BMI says so if I was a foot taller 😉

Is it average to keep trapping it behind my knee?

[i]Is it average to keep trapping it behind my knee?[/i]

Decidedly not.
What does your [i]partner[/i] think of you doing that to them ?.
Annoyed I bet.

😉

Harry - are you the 72 stone baby sitter?

i dont know as I did not go to public school

[i]i dont know as I did not go to public school[/i]

Ah !, a true sign of awesome averageness

I'm well under above average.

I have an above average amount of legs.

I'm mean.

I'm 'à la mode'.

Aren't we all?

I'm not even that good.

I am taller than average and a thinner than average, I've also got all my own teeth and hair which is way above average.

I'm average in the group I ride out with and I ride a non average (make of) roadie and my mtbs are also non average too (although by current trends one of them is becoming "more" average)

So if you apply the law of averages I'm not quite "average"

In terms of bike riding ability and with a total novice at one end of the scale and top pro riders at the other end, I imagine the curve would be a normal distribution with most of us in a band a few % either side of the top of the curve.

So yes - average.

bikebouy - [i]I've also got all my own teeth and hair [/i] -No you haven't, I have a little shrine to you which I decorate with your lost teeth and hair.

I delude myself into thinking that I am average

Is that shrine in Lordswood ?

That's not me, that's your alter ego that is.

I strive for mediocrity and to be average .

I'm abnormal! 😀

On a bike, I have officially risen to the dizzying heights of "competent".

TBH if we're talking about riding ability, the average is probably pretty low.

Some are born average, some achieve averageness, but somewhere in the middle are people who have averageness thrust upon them

tbh, think Pig with big ears but i hear its the girth that counts 🙂 plus i got hips like a fiddlers elbow 😀

High above average in everything I do and my genes 8)

Including getting into trouble.

Aren't we all?

No.

Wait.. yes.

Aren't we all?

Apparently we are - that's why I asked.

I'm just reading this book:

Which says that most Americans and Europeans rate themselves "above average" on a wide range of of measures.

It also says that this phenomenon is weaker in many asian countries and may not exist in Japan, and it puts forward the idea that this may be due to the influence of Buddhism.

^ The Lake Wobegon effect: "all the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and all the children are above average."

I'm Special!

I am the very essence of above averageness. No really. I am the happy void between a C+ and a B-.

I am medium.

I'm an average amount above average.

I'm Special!

Do you mean Special Needs? 😉

I got a first in my BSc, which puts me in the top 10% of university grads, so well above average there...

I'd say I'm an above average driver, with odd moments of brilliance and utter stupidity in equal measure.

Fitness - well below average.

BMI - well above average but coming down

bike skills - below average for an MTBer, but getting better...

..what else do you need to know?

I'm average. I specialise in mediocrity with an interest in apathy.

I wouldn't have thought so LOL

@sugdenr

Probably 🙂

I am "Other"

I prefer "middling"

I'm not perfect, but parts of me are excellent.
