At my old agency, we had an officer who was like 6'9" or so, and he would wear cowboy boots with tall heels and a Hoss Cartwright 10 gallon hat that made him nearly 8' tall. Guess he got off on height, so played it for all he could. She's likely doing the same. If that's what distinguishes you, and it's not bad, then own it.
I wish average worked the same way. I rock that.
People are relative and pay attention to the marginal cases far more than the mean. You're right, it was clickbait, and it worked. Like putting a Mini in the bed of a monster truck.
Thinking about leaving my estate only to unvaxxed kin. I told them to fight it, implored them, but they all did anyway, now they are wrecked. One cousin and one niece wised up, everyone else lemminged. Some are dead, most are seriously damaged.
One of the greatest crimes in human history, perhaps THE greatest.
