No way. Those who care whether they are prepared are not in the least wusses. Their fear may be unfounded, but it is based on positive values. A big butt is waaaaaaaaaay down there on the scale of serious problems, but wanting to present a good appearance is also not the least bit wussy.

Being a wuss is not speaking to somebody because they might not respond or not expressing a necessary opinion because somebody might not like it or being too shy to offer assistance to somebody who needs it.
