I am 5’8 and I weigh 136lbs. I’m small built. I don’t think I’m too skinny. I am a size 5/6 and I’ve always been slender. I’ve been told by some guys that I’m undatable and unf*ckable because I’m am a “bag of bones”. I even got dumped for being too skinny and he wished I would put on weight. In high school I was 117lbs and I looked too skinny so I put on some weight to look healthy but not too much. Not every girl wants to be thin. My best friend’s girlfriend always insulted me for being thin. She said, “I’m not surprised when you said you don’t want a snack because of your body size.” I got confused so I asked why I said that. Then she bluntly said, “What I’m saying is missy is that you’re too goddamn skinny! Ugh look at you. Just laying there looking like a bag of bones. Guys want women with more flesh on then and curves and a little fat. I’m not surprised your ex dumped you.” I was crushed with what she said. I said, “Why you think I was putting on some weight? Everyone is meant to be built different my dad told me.” Then she cut me off and said, “Hey don’t blame your daddy for you eating disorders. You’re the one that pushed the plate of food away and refused to eat a decent mean. It’s your fault that you look I’ll and homely! That’s why I had a lot of guys flirt with me because they live curvier and heavier women. Why do you think people make fun of people with eating disorders and refusing to eat a meal.” Wow…. she really hurt my feelings when she said that. I wanted to insult her back but that wouldn’t do any good and she would have kicked my ass and my best friend would have cussed me out. I explained to him about it and he talked to her about it. I told one of my cousins that and she said, “You’re not going to like my answer but she’s right. You’re too skinny. You gotta put on some weight girl and besides, taller women are supposed to weigh more and you look like a, no offense a scarecrow.” Anyways should I put in weight?
Why do people keep nagging me about my slender body?
