Is 140 lbs too thin/skinny for a guy?
I'm 20 years old.I weigh 142 lbs right now. I'm 5'9. I'm really active in sports. I feel okay and my rib cage is not visible. It's not easy for me to gain weight though but I do eat the recommended amount. I'm just asking on what you think?
Do guys like girls who are curvy or bone-thin?
As you can see from the borage of answers...every guy has different tastes about what they find physically attractive. However, I wouldn't worry too much about it. A guy can date a woman with supermodel beauty but she could be completly unattractive on the inside. The inside is the part that matters the most...which answers the question that I know that you probably ask yourself from time to time. "Why is she dating him...he's so unattractive." ; ) Hope this helps
Will guys not like me because i'm 'too thin'?
My friends are always telling me how thin i am. It's stupid, because i don't feel skinny. I'm 15, 100 lbs and 5'6''. My friends are always telling me how guys don't like that and stuff and i do not want to gain weight AT ALL, and i'm not going to. I want to be at least 95. Also my parents are always worrying about my eating habits and stuff. I don't know what to do. My doctor is saying i'm underweight too, and like i know i am but i don't want to gain. I would just feel even more gross than i do now.
Is 5'6'' 120lbs too skinny for a guy?
Your a little bit skinny on the skinny side but not severely I think your just fine at that weight. And guys are all different some guys like bigger girls and some like smaller girls.
Is 5'10 & 140 pounds too skinny for a guy?
No. It just means you dont have a lot of body fat. Which goes against the normal persons body. Im 16 and Im 6' and 145. Im thin, but toned. Very little body fat. Your just healthy bro. Not a big thing to worry about.
Is 125 pounds too skinny for a Guy?
You need to work on gaining about 10 pounds. But don't worry about it because the worrying is probably what's burning 10 pounds off. You could have a tape worm, or something medical, but if you checkout otherwise healthy, then it's just your metabolism. Start doing pushups. Although you don't have an ounce of fat on you, muscle mass weighs more. I eat like you, and not only not gain weight, I can lose it if I don't work out some, and relax. Shoot for a target weight of 135 for now. http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educatio... I started high school at 130 lbs 6ft 1in. which is about equal to what you are now. Actually, you might be considered fatter now, than I was then :-) If that makes you feel better. I know your pain. I'm 165 lbs now, so you see, there is hope. P.S. The good news is that you will probably live a long, happy, healthy life. Oh, and eat some chitlins and gravy once in awhile, that should help :-) http://www.wisegeek.org/what-are-chitlin... Eating trail mix all the time, is probably not going to put on any pounds
What are the pros and cons of being skinny as a guy?
Hello there!At first I misinterpreted your question as saying you are a girl and wanted the pros and cons of being as skinny as a guy ;-)And the pros and cons aren't easily defined on just being skinny, so I will use being skinny and how it compares to being fat to better outline the pros and cons.With that said, shall we?I am a skinny dude (I used to be much skinnier), and it seems that it is much easier to get around than overweight people. I'm way more mobile as a skinny guy as opposed to being fat. I think health is by far the biggest benefit though, as there are a lot of medical issues with being obese. Skinny people can also be unhealthy, but we aren't nearly as much at risk of someone who is well overweight. Skinny people are portrayed in the media as being more attractive than their overweight counterparts too. However, this is somewhat arbitrary though - attractiveness is subjective. But I'm fairly certain the majority of people are attracted to skinny vs fat. However, there are some real struggles too. For example, especially if you are a guy, it is difficult to put on muscle mass, or weight of any kind. Since we have less body fat, our blood doesn't clot as well, and if we get a cut, we can bleed profusely (platelets, which clot open wounds, are located in fatty tissue). Our bones also break easier, as there is much less of a cushion for trauma of any kind. With little weight, it is also hard for us to generate much power, lift heavy things, or move heavy objects. So you could argue that skinny people are more prone to damaging physical injuries. The lists for both are be pretty comprehensive too, so this might be a good place to stop...and again, it's a highly subjective topic. And I think most people would agree that being somewhere in between skinny and fat is where we all wanna be. But if you are a bit over or under weight, you can still be healthy and live a long life.
I am a short and skinny guy should I give up...?
You have to play to your strengths. One of my female friends has a short boyfriend, shorter than her. The boyfriend also has a very feminine body, pretty much no body hair and very little facial hair. My female friend can't stop talking about how she likes the "delicate" or "soft" look of his body. On the other hand I am the more "traditional" guy. Average hight, hairy, and somewhat muscular. I do not feel like I have any advantage over feminine looking guys. Sometimes I am even jealous of feminine men. I have even considered waxing my body hair to approximate the look. Although women like masculine men, it is often in a merely lusty way; they don't look for long term relationships with such men. Women tend to go for men with more feminine features when looking for a long term commitment. (Check out study in sources for more info) Find a woman that can admire you for your feminine features. That is the advice I have. I think this is a case of "the grass is greener on the other side"
How can a skinny guy get a girlfriend?
You can get a girlfriend the same way a fat guy, or a ripped and muscular guy can. Be you, and own your flaws and insecurities. Look, everyone has insecurities, and almost everyone doesn't like how they look (or wants to change it). Men are extremely visual creatures. We like things that look good. Females are emotional creatures. So it isn't the looks of a guy that gets them excited, it is what emotion those looks incite. If a woman values a guy that is big, strong and ripped, she will go for one of those guys. However, MOST women just want a nice, honest man that can look after himself and support and look after her too. So yes, SOME girls might not like the skinny guy look, but the majority won't care one little bit - Because they value the other perks you bring to the table. So go and find the ones that aren't shallow and only go for looks. If you think something is a problem, it becomes a problem. So if you are overly insecure about the way you look, people will pick up on it and it will be a problem for them too. If you don't give a fu*k, neither will they. By all means change what you don't like (Many MANY men who are skinny have put weight on, you just need to find out how), but don't let it hold you back.
