What does it mean when a guy call you small?

[QuakerOath]

Okay this happen to me with three different guys at the gym. when I workout i tend to wear a hoodie and sweats, however I tend to take off my hoodie if I get too hot. They’ve never said it to my face they were always talking to a friend; “she small” or “I didn’t think she was that small” “I never realized how small she is” and their buddy would be like “yeah” or “I told you” . As someone who is trying to gain mass and muscle, I will admit I felt insulted but I didn’t understand what they mean by small, am I not gaining any muscle? If anyone wants to add their 2 cents to make this 1.98 a whole 2.00 much appreciation

How tall are you? Some times its just or body type or frame that makes people think your smaller than you are.

I mean if your like 5'2 and putting up some weight they might be thinking your really strong for being so small. I for one was a guy that could work out and work out and put up more and more weight and get stronger and stronger and never put on muscle mass. Other guys would say things like, I never know you were so strong, given your size. I would say to them, "I am 5'8 and weight 200 lbs what do mean by my size?"

Well, 5'8 is slightly shorter than average, but not small. Nobody would ever believe I was 180 lbs and now at 45 I am 200 lbs. They always thought I was like 160 lbs and maybe 5'7 at most. Then they would say, "your too small to be 180 or 200 lbs, you weight more than me."

I would say it must be that I got thick bones or something because I have not weight 160 since highschool. And I am talking about guys that were like 6'2 and 180 lbs with these cut , ripped pecks and abs. But its just my body type I guess, people always think I am shorter and weight less than I do.

I have even dated women you thought they were taller than me. Until we measured ourselves against a wall. They see that I am inch taller than them, and they are like no way lets do this again. Even to the point that they bring out a level to make sure I am not cheating... they still can't believe I am taller than them. Its happened at least twice to me with two different women I have dated.

I apologize for not responding too any messaging, in all honesty I completely forgot I had posted this question. I believe I'm 5'7 and weigh 180lb.

As I don't have a pic to go by I'm guessing that you must have a petite frame and under #100lbs with a soaking wet towel draped around you. And don't take their comments the wrong way. there are the big beefy show muscles, then there are the more hidden but equally powerful work muscles. That frame of yours can be tiny but very very powerful at the same time the disconnect will surprise a LOT of guys. I have a few friends that are gals that they are way more powerful than their stature would otherwise suggest. Most of them are farm girls that know how to work.

[QuakerOath]

Oh no, I'm too tall to be weighing anywhere near 100lb. I'm 5'7 and 180lb. I will agree upon being surprised with how much someone can lift just based on their appearance. Farm work will do that too you!

[HotPinkDominatrxSlut]

What's your height. If you're short like I am small might be referring to that.
by the way I'm 4'11" and 88lbs. which is definitely very petite and small. My tits are definitely not small nit is my hair short at all though. My tits are natural FF cup and my natural pure platinum blonde super shiny hair is longer than I am tall.
I also have the lightest brightest bluest eyes.
Us short girls do tend to have much bigger tits and longer hair than tall girls

[QuakerOath]

Take this as you will but you sound adorable. I can't claim height because I'm 5'7 and weigh 180lb so I don't think that was the case, possibly for one of them because he was easily 6ft+ but the other two were my height.

[Effably]

Would assume that based on your performance in the gym they just expected more volume.

Being strong pound for pound is valuable in most sports. It is probably more compliment than insult. Like when you see a smaller guy lifting stuff you would not expect he could. Simply being impressed.

[FilmGuy93]

They just mean that you're more slender than they expected. It's not an insult. At least probably not. Have you told them that you are trying to bulk up?

[QuakerOath]

No, it was more like wrong timing for my music to stop and they happen to be making a comment about me. I tend to keep to myself and mind my business unless someone needs something.

[FilmGuy93]

Gotcha... some people are just shitty like that. Try not let it get to you. I'm sure your body is killer!

[QuakerOath]

Well thank you, haha but that's why I tend to wear headphones to avoid hearing anything (positive or negative, it will go to my head).

[20yearsolder]

How tall are you, are you short and skinny. That would make you small. You're talking about your total appearance.

[QuakerOath]

I'm 5'7 and 180lb. I don't necessarily think I'm skinny though.

[spartan55]

It means they think you are small... ... can't figure out why that would offend you.

[QuakerOath]

My goal is to be built like a tank

[spartan55]

What's your height/weight?

[QuakerOath]

Apologize for late response, I'm 5'7 and weigh 180lb. I'm trying to bulk to gain mass but also trying not to dirty bulk.

[Sorbay]

When I guy calls you small in the gym your prob a gym bro and you take roids and you workout like crazy and you ain’t big so they demoralizing you for your own motivation

[QuakerOath]

I will admit I do workout quite a bit but it's more for peace. ROID FOR LIFE! haha kidding, I have yet gone down that path.

[Anonymous]

Either you are short or your boobs are small. That is pretty much all guys talk about when they are talking about someone being small.

[QuakerOath]

It's being part of the itty bitty committee then :)

[Opinion Owner]

Half of the time.

[MammaSoni87]

If you're short like I am small might be referring to that.

[Anonymous]

Depends on what context.

[QuakerOath]

That's what I'm trying to find out as well haha

[Anonymous]

They mean you have a petite physique.

[Anonymous]

You're small.
Glad I could help.

[In_Trance]

Not big

[QuakerOath]

But in what way , no gains kind of way or just the term small?

[In_Trance]

My guess would be your stature
