Question here, if someone is the most typical person, wouldn't being the most typical person make them different/ set them apart from everyone else therefore being not as typical?

seriously? ur gonna put the true fact there: males outnumber females. and thats fine, but you have to go on and write "but just barely"? NOBODY CARES about that, if it were: females outnumber males, nobody would write just barely. but just because its MALES outnumber females, you have to show that... ugh...
