I am genuienly not even trying to rude, I am just actually baffled.

Like, I currently live in the midwest.

... Seeing a group of people like this, who all have basically the same body build and fitness level... like yes, the stocky endomorph build is stereotypically associated with Midwesterners, and I do notice somewhat more of people who look lile this here versus where I'm from, other places I've spent a good deal of time in.

But walking into any random public space and seeing this group of 5 people would still be very fucking odd, unless maybe they were all over 55 years old.

This would be a weird note in mental log of my day, a notably uncommon thing to encounter, with them all being under 35, and thats with me having been living in the Midwest now for 2+ years.
