BK, thanks for believing that I have magic! I'd say I'm an average girl and it's true.

Average Guy uses "I" to describe himself. Couples say "we"...ergo, AG is single.
He calls himself Average Guy. but who cares about average? Certainly not average guys, who conflate. Therefore, Average Guy must be above average.

To be Average Guy, you have to be comfortable calculating whether you are an average guy and also with understating your exceptional status in order to deny being average. Therefore Average Guy is a mathematician, to whom average means a specific quantity, or as our mystery guy states, he is a statistician.
