Guys 18+: where do you stand compared to the average male?

[Random berk]

I'd be leaning comfortably to the right of the most popular average here then. Despite being as tall as the avarage man, I'm a fair bit under the average 20's weight. To obad I probably don't have the strength and fitness they're boasting of in this article, or I'd be Bruce fucking Lee.

 

[Chairman Miaow]

Wow I just have to comment on this;
"12:17 Average time to run a mile" Ha, I can run a mile in 11 minutes (specificly 2.4km in less then 11:13) and I look nothing like the guy in the picture (assuming he is the one who ran in that time)

And I lauged at the other... "fitness" facts on the bottom right.

Did you ever consider that this statistic includes fat guys and old men who couldn't run a mile if their life depended on it? And I know people my age (24) who get winded after one lap around the track (1/4 mile)

Considering the percentage of obese/overweight people in America (and the rest of the world, seriously, look it up, it's terrifying) it doesn't include them, or body fat would be more like 34% Waist size more like 40 something, and average number of pull ups zero.

P.S. I honestly do walk a mile in 12 minutes. I worked it out a long time ago. When I was actually in worse shape than I am now. It took me an hour to walk 5 miles. works out at 5 miles an hour (duh) so a mile took me 12 minutes. These facts are lies, or I am super man.

 

[Jernau]

I'm fitter, taller and have less body fat, the same size chest and a smaller waist. I can do more pull ups. No idea about the others tbh.

 

[jonnosferatu]

Pretty sure I'd qualify as actually physically fit, though whether or not that's true given the methodologies they could be using is another matter.

Probably more like $300/year on supplements, assuming we count fish oil as a supplement and not a food. $100 or less if we don't.

I don't own any equipment yet. Once I do, it'll be in a garage or an off-site storage locker, though, so it probably won't be feasible to hang anything on it.

Dunno resting heart rate, suspect that their methodology for diagnosing fitness is heavily flawed if they're getting 52 for the average "fit" individual.

~10-12 hours per week of high-intensity exercise. I live on a hill and walk everywhere.

Given that I'm currently attempting to gain 40lbs, I HOPE I'll wind up above 1.1lbs of fat gained in the next 12 months.

Haven't tested pull-ups in a while, but I could do 10 last time.

Haven't run a mile in about 8 years, but expect I could still make it in the ~6:30 I did in middle school if I honestly wanted to.

Can't imagine myself ever actually losing a pound of muscle in a 12-month period until I stop gaining weight.

Shorter than average.

No idea what my chest measurement is, don't care. I'm a powerlifter; I care about weights, not looks.

Probably around the average for bodyfat right now, possibly somewhat lower.

No idea of my bicep measurement, see chest comment.

Waist is 32" or less, but I wear 34" with a belt because my thighs and glutes make short work of anything smaller.

2 inches over the average penis length. You can choose to believe this or not - I have absolutely no reason to care.

Length of sex varies depending on how we define "sex," how recently I've had sex/masturbated, how I'm feeling at the time, etc.; could be 15 seconds if we start from insertion after I've spent 20 minutes doing other things not involving genitalia, could be 3 hours.

No idea of orgasm length. Enjoyment scales exponentially with duration, though.

...depending on my mood and that of my girlfriend, I could very well prefer training to sex.

1 in 7 men would rather work out than have sex? It seems to me like they only handed this survey out in Gyms.

Voluntary response surveys aren't likely to represent good data if the question is phrased in a fashion that most people would find ridiculous. It doesn't matter where they handed it out - they'd probably get something similarly odd. I say this as someone who's part of that 1 in 7 around 50% of the time.

 

[WolfLordAndy]

Does that height include that guy's hair?

 

[El.Cojone.Grande]

Wooo! After years of thinking myself to be fairly average in all respects, it has come to my attention that I, statistically speaking, am a sex god. Made my day.

 

[GotMalkAvian]

Yeah, I'm not average in any way at all.
- I'm taller
- I'm heavier
- I don't spend any money on vitamins or supplements (hooray for, you know, eating a balanced diet with all the necessary ingredients in the first place)
- I have much better sexual stamina
- I exercise much more
- I was at my best shape at 18, and it's been a slow downward spiral in the ten years since
I'm not going to talk about my wang, since the urge to lie is too great, and I find it funny how many guys are already making sure to mention that they're "above average."

 

[Spoon E11]

Life expectancy 77 years? Not in the US, it's like 72 or somthing. Otherwise this seems like out of a workout mag. Only thing I got goin for me after losing all that weight and muscle after cancer is the 6'1" and the penis size being a good ways beyond average.

I read the last bit as "the 6'1" penis size being a good ways beyond average"
Yes I 6'1" is a bit more than average. Anyway, some of those stats seem like they have been colected at a gym and others at a Fast food outlet.

 

[Sebenko]

It appears I won the genetic lottery, but most things that are down to me are a bit worse.

But hey, my wang is longer than yours, so who cares?
(for the record, length is not nearly the most important dimension, as my boyfriend has proved to me.)

But interestingly this scientific source "The Edge - Your source for the latest Music, Entertainment News, Fashion, Scandal and Gossip." is taken as seriously as an online pop-up IQ test in those, as long the witty escapist can use it to push his ego ^^

Proving your dick is bigger than average is serious business.

 

[Beat14]

I really hope that is 7 pull ups instead of one...

 

[RedEyesBlackGamer]

5.08 inches? Damn, and I thought I was under average...

And a 12:17 mile? Is that even possible without walking?

Average mile on a seriously brisk walk is about... yah, 12 minutes.

So, good point. To get a 12 minute mile, you either have to be walking, or taking smoke breaks.

That is truly pathetic. I have cerebral palsy on the right side of my body and I can still manage a mile in 11:00. Of course, I look hilarious limping along, as my friends remind me every chance they get. >_>

[manic_depressive13]

Woah what?! Average resting heart rate is 52?? Mine's about 86...

Otherwise, I'm a seventeen year old girl.

Disregard.

 

[rutger5000]

I'm 6 feet 4. Physically fit (know this for a fact, don't just consider myself being it). Actually work out 1 hour a week (want to do more starting next week.) Probably low on fat percentage (I'm skinny). The weight is pretty much correct, I can do more sit ups, but less push-ups. I have huge lungs, so I should have a larger then average inhaled chest size.
If I jog I can do 2 kilometers in 15 minutes, without tiring myself. So a mile in 12:17 should be do-able.
I spend no money of vitamins. I get it from healthy food, thank you very much.
