Am I just too skinny?

[adenyh]

I've never had issues with my body until my dad told me I was too skinny. Then it was like every time I went swimming or something he would tell me I'm too skinny. I thought I was fine but I'm not so sure anymore. I mean he's just teasing me, he's an awesome dad, but is there some truth to it? Some honest feedback would be nice because my brothers and sisters keep telling me not to worry about it without giving me a real response. It makes me a little curious what girls are thinking if I go to the beach.

Yes those are purple polka dot boxers. And they are awesome.

Don't worry about it.

Just kidding :-) and I don't think you're too skinny at all, maybe you need some toning up as a bonus but otherwise you look fine from your picture.

An accurate way to tell if you're underweight would be if you calculated your perfect BMI (Body Mass Index) with the usage of your height and weight and compare it to your current one. There are some BMI calculators online to help check if you are more underweight than you should be.

Ah I said am I too skinny, not do I need to tone up because I'm uncut and scrawny haha

You look great and very healthy! I think parents just worry too much about every little detail and make a big problem

out of it when it is not, maybe your dad sees that you aren't as big or fatty as some other young guys and he worries about it.

lol I think your dad is just a bit jealous that he's not 22 himself anymore ;)

you aren't skinny at all seriously. you're fine the way you are. girls would be all over you, no doubt about that!

Dude. You have nothing to worry about.

Man I don't know what that means because it can mean like it's not something that's important so don't worry about it (but secretly you are too skinny), or it can mean you are okay so don't worry about it.

Sorry. Only after I had posted this did I realise you said that people already gave you that answer. :)

I definitely mean the latter - you're ok, so no need worry about it. I think if someone meant that 'it's not important', they would probably say something more like 'It's not a big deal...' or 'Who cares....' and so on. :)
