DarkLight saidGee, and when we talk about the Average American, a "white" guy always comes to mind as if he were native here......
failscarf saidActually the first Americans (by term) were Black Americans. They called themselves that to both unite the country as one and to assimilate into the majority.
But as history shows this title was not only ripped from them but no longer associated with the(just like rock or country music). It goes to show that hard work and effort isn't always rewarded.

Almost as if white people have been in the majority - hence the average - for hundreds of years.

I think he was being PC in deference to Central and South Americans as opposed to United States Americans.

I'm aware of the distinction but it's not a very commonly (or correctly) used term and using it is a little redundant, IMO.

Boy, that's the truth! What dumpy, unappetizing silhouettes!

GWriter saidAmericans do tend to be chunky. But paradoxically, we also work out more. Our "average" is probably a bimodal distribution if this is taken into account. I've travelled internationally quite a bit, and whenever I notice a guy who is muscular or in especially good shape, he is almost always another American tourist (occasionally Australian). With a few exceptions, most of the world just isn't that into lifting weights. Try finding a real gym abroad!

I think that a small percentage of Americans are super fit/muscular. However, over 30% are outright obese, and if you consider how many people are borderline obese or overweight to an unhealthy degree, that brings the percentage to about 50-60. Of the remaining population, most are in a sort of "normal" range. But I don't think that "fitness" is merely confined to being muscle bound or lifting weights. To me, it's more about general lifestyle. Take the example of the average Dutch guy. The average Dutch person rides his bike to work and to do everyday commuting. You rarely see a truly obese Dutch person. He might not be at the gym getting bulky, but overall, he's more active.

I was just thinking that ! Isn't it tragic the harsh standards our community subjects itself to ? Also shows what a warped view the media portrays of the male body (again not news really).
MisterOrally saidVery interesting I think it has to do with all the high fructose corn syrup in our diet. It is almost IMPOSSIBLE to avoid unfortunately.
