Feel free to define “average” how you see fit. This isn’t about debating what is average person. Comparisons to the averages in your age / friend group are fine too.

    • I monitor my personal finances carefully and try living well below my means
    • I have effectively no social media presence
    • I do childish things when out in the woods by myself such as play with puddles, make streams and larp a soldier with my outfits / gear
    • My wardrobe is a bunch of near identical clothes. I basically wear the same thing every day. When I need a clean shirt I grab the one from the top of the pile.
    • I eat once in the morning and again around 10pm. I also skip dinner a few times a week because I can’t be bothered to cook
    • I leave most of my lawn uncut. From the street my house looks abandoned.
    • I carry a folding knife with me always
    • I intentionally avoid trends
    • I don’t lie, not even white lies. I might not speak the whole truth but I never say something that’s untrue.

    I haven’t posted anything to my personal social media accounts in half a decade.

    Similarly, with the popularity of short form video booming, I basically don’t consume any of it and instead find myself watching 1h+ video essays about some old piece of equipment from 40 years ago.

    I’m a lot more left-wing than most people I talk to.

    I’m tall enough to bang my head on some door frames.

    • I don’t wear plaid or denim
    • I’m not a lumberjack
    • I’m not wearing a toque (right now)
    • I don’t have a (full) beard
    • I don’t play hockey (anymore)

    I should probably change my username and avatar.

    When I was growing up, one of the first questions someone would ask a kid was what team they supported, and not even if they liked football in the first place. So I guess I was in a big minority there.

    I feel like I’m the least Mexican dude in Mexico:

    • I don’t drink any alcohol, at all.
    • I hate to eat hot sauce on snacks. Everybody pours Valentina sauce on everything, but I hate it.
    • I hate most common forms of Mexican food (nopales, tunas, etc)
    • I can’t eat Chile or spicy things (like mole, or spicy chilaquiles/enchiladas) because of stomach issues.
    • I don’t watch football at all.
    • I hate most Mexican music (corridos, banda, mariachis, reggaeton, etc)
    • I’m not religious at all, while most of the country is catholic.
    • I hate big family gatherings, while it’s a common tradition to make big family parties to celebrate everything.
    • I have a PHD. Unfortunately the average education level for Mexicans is low, so I’m far from average.
    • I’m not a fan of tv shows that people on my age group grew up with them, like Dragon Ball or el Chavo del 8.

    I guess some of the differences are because I’m autistic? Also, this deviation from the mean is only mentally. Physically I’m completely average.

    I’m taller. I’m a man in a female-dominated field (and was in my previous career, as well). I don’t own a car and have no interest in doing so. I know a dead language. I eat beans for breakfast. I don’t drink coffee.

    I grew up in two different countries. Eventually moved back to the one with better healthcare since I’m dealing with a few old injuries. Over here, people tend to be somewhat distant and I’m quite the opposite. Always chatty, always outgoing.

    If you mean my country of birth, it’s actually a bit difficult since I’ve been twice in the last ten years and this and some YouTube vids are my only real media consumption. If you mean where I live now, I’m definitely fatter, hairier, and tatooed-ier than the average person. My japanese is definitely a bit worse.
