I'm 5 10 and 125 pounds. people comment often on how skinny I am. I'd probably fit in better in Europe i guess... anyway do you find someone with that build attractive/unattractive?

Male or female? A young female at 5'10" is almost expected to be 125 lbs or under here in California. Male is a little odd, unless you're at that teenage boy "just grew 3 inches last year and haven't filled out yet" stage.

i'm a guy. i did recently grow a couple inches but i've always been very underweight. i could probably post pics i guess.

yeah i find it unattractive.. i mean it depends.. i like skinny, but then there's too skinny. for some reason i like drug skinny, but if youre just a naturally bony waif of a thing, no, that's not attractive.

edit: yeah post pics

My brother's a pretty skinny dude, and he's never had a problem attracting girls. He's about your height and 140 lbs though.

If you're eating healthy and that's just the weight you are now, don't worry about it. I hear plenty of girls tell me they are into the super-skinny guy look that seems to be in right now- might be the indie fashion trend, but either way I don't think you need to worry.

How old are you?

Join the gym, get "Starting Strength" by Rippetoe, follow the programme, start eating like a horse and bulk.

You can get your body as attractive as you like. The only things you can't change are your height and your face, so just learn to be happy about those. The rest you can make whatever you want it to be.

Eat food... anything under 130 and 5'10 labels you as anorexic in most peoples eyes.

Get some muscle.

Lay off the uppers for a bit.

i'm looking around for my camera, my sister might have taken it. i'll definitely post pics asap though.

the only drug i really do is marihuana... i'd probably be 10 pounds lighter if i wasn't a daily toker lol

Can't tell if you are attractive or not without pics.

But it doesn't really matter anyway, because I know for a fact that you weigh too little for your height. Try to eat more etc etc.

okey dokey here we go

you're not unattractive.. boyish, but a lot of girls like that.. develop some muscle and you'd be a hottie. i personally have just never liked a guy with biceps smaller than mine :)

*drools*

okay... you're the good kind of skinny... very good.

I always thought you were a dude...

Get some muscle.

Listen to this man ;)

I always thought you were a dude...

I always thought you were a chick

Relax dude, chicks love the skinny guys.

I think you're a bit too skinny. Eat more, go to the gym, etc. etc.

But these guys are right, plenty of girls like skinny guys, I just don't happen to be one of them :D

Dude you have the same body as me. Some girls dig it, some dont. Personally its never caused me much problems, and I'd much rather be overly skinny than overly fat.

Also, you have hips / waist like a girl, you could probably do something about that.

You are too thin. Eat red meat, lots of it. This is the results of eating red meat. I don't work out, buy my job is fairly labor intensive. Work out if you don't have a labor intensive job.

Most guys are unattractive to me, but thats on account of my being heterosexual, rather than their body type.

I love skinny dudes!

I love skinny dudes!

My statement is proven correct.

how bout skanky guys?

i'm 6'0" and 135 lbs so i'm very skinny like you. just be glad you can get really nice abs with minimal effort ;)

A couple of years ago, I probably would have said you weren't skinny enough. But that was when I was going through a phase of being attracted to very very skinny people. Now that I go for more normal healthy looking people, I think you look ok. You're slim but in the first pic it almost even looks like you have stomach muscles on show, which means you aren't too thin.

If you do decide to get a bit bigger, I would recommend some muscle, but also a bit of non-ripped flesh to go with it, not just loads of unsightly muscle. Nothing worse than someone with muscles bulging out all over the place where there shouldn't even be visible muscles. (I mean like when a guy looks like he has 2 sets of shoulders because of those hideous muscles joining the neck to the shoulders) However I personally think you look alright as you are so don't bother.

Keep asking though because I'm just one girl out of many, and like a year ago there was a thread to post pics of the most attactive men you know, and I posted a few and it actually convinced a load of people I was a troll because they found the men so odd looking, so I guess my views on male attractiveness are a bit unconventional.

im 6' 6'1''ish and a little over 150 and i get people telling me im too skinny all the time, never had a hard time getting girls though. i have worked out pretty regularly since highschool so that probably helps too

To be totally honest...yes. I know a lot of girls who are attracted to your type of body, but I'm into more solid guys myself, not to mention that I would feel fat knowing that you weight ten pounds less than me.

Don't you really skinny guys worry about getting your asses kicked? I'm not trying to be a dick or anything, but at 130lbs or less, I know girls that could manhandle you. It's not like fighting is exactly a common thing, but you'd be pretty much helpless against a pretty large percentage of guys. Also, ladies, doesn't it bother you to be with a guy who can't even defend you or himself.

I can tell you've never been in a fight. Size doesn't mean shit, most people that are 170+ pounds and tall walk around never having to fight because they rely on their size purely to intimidate. So when it comes down to it, they end up getting rocked. I'm 5'11" 140 pounds, and I have beaten people twice my size.

Oh, and by the way, your biceps aren't fucking impressive at all, douche bag. At best, they are average. Keep walking around like your tough shit, I guarantee you someone will pull your hoe card eventually.

Hit the weights super hard(supplements if needed) and EAT! Give it six weeks and you will look totally different....

Haha yeah.

To OP:

I wouldn't consider you "very skinny". I'd say you are on the skinny side. But that's not the point. The point is there are girls who dig your skinniness and those who don't. So my advice to you is just relax and don't get hung up on it.

Also, after reading through this thread I just want to say you guyses make me feel like a motherfucking beached whale :(

Maybe he's not one of those douche bags that walk around and act hard in order to impress girls. Maybe hes not confrontational. I've never had to get into a fight (but I've gotten pretty close) but I think I'm average for my grade. I'm a senior in high school and I'm 5' 10" 195 lbs and I am not in any way shape or form "ripped". The only reason why I'm not a fucking fat ass is because I play club soccer.

Also, like other people said, different girls have different tastes. This one girl I'm friends with can't weigh more than 110 pounds, but shes into fat guys. Not like 300+ fat guys buy large guys than can fucking toss her around. Weird, but whatever makes you happy.

I'm 5'11" 140 pounds, and I have beaten people twice my size.

I don't know about twice my size, but I'm the same height and weight and have never lost a fight.

and to the OP: Try getting indie bitches. It works. Trust me.

+1 for this post def....cos i never would have known what the fuck to eat without this guys help.

hm thanks for the replies so far

i'm not at all worried about getting my ass kicked, i've gone 19 years without anyone ever fucking with me and i don't really see that changing.

so i've gotten..... a few too skinnys, one too fat, and a *drool* lol... but i guess the general consensus is i should bulk up? i gotta admit, i'm not getting much action at the moment (although this probably has more to do with my lifestyle of smoking weed and playing wow all day than my body but still).

and i love indie music and i used to hang out with the indie crowd but they are so fucking annoying.... that's like almost not even an option for me anymore. i couldn't deal with an indie chick.

but yeah, someone commented on my "girl hips," i've actually had a few people mention that irl... i don't think it looks bad but obviously it does i guess. what sort of exercises would help with that?

(and silverfuck, you shouldn't feel insecure lol, from the pics i've seen your pretty much perfect, i'd totally hook up with you at least :) then again i'll fuck anything that moves)

Squats and milk.

Look it up.

Lighten up, one day you'll be a man.

Now you're a man! A man man mayunnnn

Forget all this shit about eating like a horse and hitting the gym for hours and hours. Too much fucking work. Plenty of skinny guys get girls. I know a 6'1" 130lb guy who never had problems. Just wear clothes that give the illusion of more mass: horizontal stripes, boot cut jeans, blazers and jackets that have an upside-down triangular shape to them, etc. You can research this on google.

Yeah, trick them into thinking you're something you're not as opposed to actually improving yourself.


If it's "too much fucking work" for you, good luck living the rest of your life as a loser.

Enjoy.

i am surprised that guy could even stand up without fainting

wow i didn't know we had a starving Ethiopian on this board

I'm 5'9 155....I used to be 145 and the guys on the football team called me skeletor but that didn't stop me from banging the hottest girls at my school.

You just need to have confidence. I don't think you have any in fact you might be in the negative. Do you loathe yourself?

I'd much rather be overly skinny than overly fat.

This is exactly why I don't mind being skinny too.

^^^ is a fatass and gets no pussy.

Anyways, serious response:

what I meant is that, if he was content with his body is, he doesn't HAVE to bulk up. There are ways for thin guys to look good (check out europe).

From a very reputable clothes website:


thin body type

Oh, to be in the shape you're in!

Suit Style:
Either single breasted two-button or double breasted suits work fine.

Jackets:
Try softly padded shoulders, wider lapels (such as peak lapels), and double vents. Your suit should fit easily, almost loosely. Patch and flap pockets will help unless you are both short and thin.

Fabrics:
Any bulky or hefty weave (tweeds, for example, or flannels) will add to your size.

Pattern and Color:
Patterns will give you some width. Avoid vertical stripes. Contrasting sports jacket and slacks create a horizontal line, which works if you're tall and thin, but if you're short and thin less color contrast above and below the belt will work.

Lighter, warm colors have the illusion of bringing you closer to your observers and tends to bulk you up. We're not advocating orange suits for you, but in sportswear you might want to add some color in your sweater and shirt wardrobe.

Shirts and Ties:
A spread collar tends to broaden the face and a wide knot will help to accentuate the horizontal line. Avoid long point collars. If you have a long neck try a tab or pin collar. Wide ties and bold patterns and color are fine. Horizontal stripe shirts and ties. Avoid vertical stripes.

Sport shirts should fit (like all your clothes). Garments that are too big emphasize your thinness.

Trousers:
Cuff width depends upon if you are Thin and Tall or Thin and Short. If you're tall, cuffs with 1 3/4" work well, just a little more than the usual 1 1/2" cuff. If you're Thin and Short try 1 1/4" cuffs.

Shoes:
Don't choose a delicate shoe; something wide with a heavy sole completes the thin man's look.

Accessories:
Vests and V-neck sweaters add bulk. Belts help cut the vertical line.

Eyewear Shape:
Horizontal lines and also full rims around the lenses will shorten your face. Try glasses with mid or low temples.

Hair: You can wear your hair a little longer on the sides. Make certain your barber leaves hair on the nape of your neck. You don't want that giraffe look! Within reason you can lower your sideburns a little too.

Topcoats:
Raglan sleeves and double breasted styles are good if you are thin and tall.

Ask Andy About Clothes is a great website, by the way. It tells you all that shit nobody ever got around to telling you (like how to tie a half-windsor, and if you should button the bottom button on a blazer [no, you shouldn't]).

You could always just learn how to play guitar and fit the stereotype.

i think i'm gonna try to gain 15 or so pounds (of muscle, obviously, i really can't gain fat). i'll post updated pictures every 5 or so pounds. since you guys have been so helpful, i'll post my big ole penis when i hit one fo'ty (maybe lol). i've been eating like a motherfucker the past day or two and i'm already at 127.

if anyone wants to suggest some good foods for this venture feel free.

honestly i have seen skinnier.
and fortunately for you it works. Coming from a woman's perspective that is.
on some guys a skinnier physique can be very attractive. So i would just embrace it if i were you. i think it works for you...
but i don't know what your face looks like....
that is also a big thing....Pics

p.s. did you shave your armpits?

You are too thin. Eat red meat, lots of it. This is the results of eating red meat. I don't work out, buy my job is fairly labor intensive. Work out if you don't have a labor intensive job.


Chances are this guy doesn't know much about the biochemistry of the human bodies.

He could be a protein type, thus that wouldn't work.

eh i don't know about posting my face, i really wouldn't want anyone i know irl to stumble across it and learn of my forbidden totse habit.

and i just naturally have very little hair lol. you're not the first person to ask if i shave my pits.

I'm 5"6, and I just weighed myself before eating, and weighed 120 pounds, although I went up to 125 a few weeks ago (i felt fat). I bike, so most of my muscle is on my legs. My arms are very skinny, but you can see some muscle.
I've been eating a lot healthier, compared to a year ago, but also riding harder.

but also riding harder.

word of advice, I suggest editing that to something different...

some girls like it and some dont. Just how some guys are chubby chasers..its on all what YOU prefer..myself, I have always gone after dudes 6ft+ (im 4'11 3/4). Just my thing, and I dont really like skinny unless it looks halfway proportioned right. I stick with the 180-220 dudes mostly. Maybe cause its im little wanna feel safe or something..but you look good though so dont worry!

http://little-link.com/pics/9218.jpg

I am fucking skinny,,6 ft 135 lbs

also my body hair adds a extra 5 lbs. so Im really 130.

i'm about 6' 135 lbs too and i think our bodies aren't too skinny at all

Im going for the Brandon Lee {The Crow} post-mortem look,myself.

meh...well suit yourself.
i think your bod is rockin'
lol
but i like skinny guys.. i.e. brandon boyd.

the singer from Incubus?

want that fucking tat on his right forearm.... i need to find my cheese grater and take it from him.

im 6 foot 147lb, and i get called skinny.

I was thinking something along the lines of this.

Dude start a heroin habit, you'll be the epitome of awesome and you'll at least have a reason to back up your skinniness.

I eat like an absolute horse, yet I'm only 125 lb and 6'1". It's a pain really.

I know right? Makes you wonder how all those fat bastards are struggling to lose weight.

Probably cause the both of your aren't eating the right foods consistently.

Well, obviously if I was eating 6k calories a day I'd be putting on weight.

Damn difficult to shove that much food in - and I think I probably have a faster metabolism - my "just maintenance" calorie requirement is at about 3k.

I'm not bitching and moaning - I'm actually bulking, slowly but surely - just saying that it really takes a lot of effort and willpower to do so, yet some people seem to just bulk naturally.

Some people were just blessed with good genetics(fuckers). However I've found the more consistent my diet is(as well as balanced and wholesome) the easier it is to achieve my fitness goals i.e, Eating perfectly planned meals at the same time everyday, instead whenever you feel hungry and grabbing whatever is most convenient. This also guarantees I get all of the calories necessary to make gains.

im skinny too
like 5'9 125
this girl im having sex with now worships my body
she claims (before we had sex) she likes bigger men (she fucked a chubbster)
then she "met" me, lol

girls love it, i think man, i need more weight but im good
white girls love a skinny black man, tehe

Skinny and tall for the win!

op im 6'5" and weigh 150lbs with a size 18 shoe and a fuck off nose, i get lots of girls because height noses and feet are typically translated as guides of penis size.

Height isn't any indication whatsoever of penis size. Ron Jeremy is barely 5'6" and his dick is probably longer than your whole body.

^^you would know

the legend that is ron jeremy does indeed have a large wand, bigger than mine i must admit :(.

its still true that some women correlate willy size with height noses n feet! so you skinny skanky lankys should be happy.

op - it puzzles me why you need to ask on the interweb if women dig your build.... wouldnt like real life give you some what of a better idea have you interacted with the oppo sex yet?

Actually,I read his auto-biography hes only 9 and 3/4 , 3/4 bigger than me.....s.o.b.

But he seems like a pretty 'solid' dude.
