Am I To skinny?

Thoughts on my size? Desirable? Attractive? Would you prefer If I were more avg build?

Pretty self conscious about my body type, no matter what I can't gain weight. I've heard both extremes of people saying I'm to skinny and look sick. Even if I gain a little weight people make comments about getting fat, and I know I'm not, it's jst really rude.

  • It's not uncommon for people to assume they should look different than they do. Enjoy your fast metabolism while you can. It's just a matter of time before you won't be able to eat what you used to eat without gaining weight.

    When I entered college, I weighed 110# and was 6' tall. I was a bottomless pit, eating constantly and never gaining an ounce. We never had leftovers. The family ate what they wanted, and I finished everything else. A half hour later, I'd make myself a half dozen sandwiches. I even tried a new shake called Weight On... I lost weight.

    Your metabolism doesn't change slowly; it changes in steps. All of a sudden, you'll be 10# heavier, without any change in your lifestyle. If you force yourself to gain weight now, you'll just have a greater struggle when you get older. There are plenty of guys who will be drawn to your size right now, but not the size you'll be in 30 years.

    The way to judge if you are too skinny is to look at whether you continue to have periods and have the energy to live the lifestyle you choose to live. As long as those two conditions are met, just enjoy the fact that many people will enjoy the sight of you.

    • Thats what my one guy friend says a lot too, says wait till I'm 30 and I'll love being tiny lol. I personally like my size, it jst gets old with the comments sometines

    • Unfortunately, people feel free to say whatever they wish to say, without considering anyone else's feelings. People find it easier to criticize others rather than address their own issues. Overweight women are tired of the negative comments about their weight, so rather than doing something about their weight, they choose to put down thin women and claim they are unhealthy. People find it easier to focus on others rather than themselves, but that pattern will never take them out of their negative self-talk. Only focusing on things within our control will move us forward and give us positive results. Let's say I tell you your photo is weird, as I've never seen anyone other than you who has 15 arms. Would you take that personally or figure I'm the weird one? Generally, comments that aren't based in fact are ignored by us. Only when we believe there is some truth to it will we accept it. Unfortunately, we tend to be very cruel to ourselves, especially when we are young. Rather than focus on what you perceive of as flaws, learn what others see as your assets and then work on enhancing them. Judge yourself based on your effort to make the most of what you have rather than comparisons to others. Since you're cute, does that make me ugly?

  • A bit skinny, yeah. I personally don't find you physically attractive, but a lot of guys on here are into super-skinny, short women, so you shouldn't have any problem getting other guys to be into you.

    I also have the opposite problem as you due to Hypothyroidism; no matter what, I can never lose weight. I get moronic armchair nutritionists all the time trying to reduce weight loss to as simple as "calories in, calories out" (an inaccurate oversimplification; because they're idiots) even though I almost literally never get hungry or if I do, I can ignore it for days on end without a problem. My metabolism is so slow, I don't even NEED to eat. And no, I never lose weight from this, either. Actual DOCTORS tell me I need to eat more, every day.

  • i used to be like you: 5'2" tall, 95-113 lbs depending on what i ate and if i exercised too much.

    sure, i wish i had big boobs with my skinny frame, but a lot of guys out there LOVE us skinny and petite!

    and your boobs are bigger than mine were.. i was barely a Small B cup...

    so be happy, tell the naysayers to f**k off, and be happy.

    AND girl, wear a bikini to rock that body of yours! Guys love a skinny girl in a bikini coz tbh, there is that Chance of seeing under your Bikini Bridge and seeing the goodies and hair.. hahahhah... it happens...

    Chat me/PM if you want to vent or just share... Im Cassie

    • Can you PM me?

    • ^ awesome reply!

  • Most people prefer skinny bodies but there is a limit to how skinny is considered healthy or attractive and that is a health question more than it is a visual question, I say your weight should ideally reflect good health and if your healthy, than your fine, regardless of how small or big you are.

  • Don't ask everyone out there, you'll just make yourself worry more :) Think whatever you want about yourself, but don't be afraid of showing your face in public, you rock :D

  • You're looking fine. 👍

  • As long as your healthy, its fine. Some women are just built tiny and that is absolutely fine (in fact if we are talking from an attraction point of view, their are plenty of guys who prefer it (and it can be quite enjoyable (she is tiny, makes you feel bigger and stronger among other things). So nothing to worry about.

  • I'd be happy to have a girlfriend who looks like you (and I'd also be dreaming, because my girlfriend is 57, but. . .)

  • You look really good.

    definitely the type I like.

    ticking the gorgeous box.

  • You look fine. Your only problem is people who think they need to tell others what they should look like. Sure, you could be heavier and look just as good, but no need. You are healthy and look great, so screw their opinions!

  • How tall are you , I think for the frame of your body your ok I see no bone so I'm thinking your good I would rather see you head on in front or back

    • Im almost 5'7

  • What is your height/weight?

  • Like I alwyas say it's not the body it's how to you wear it. In this photo you're wearing it fine and it shows but you need to always be confident about it.
    Are you skinny? Yes. But clearly not skinny enough to be warned agaisnt malnutrition as long as you are weating well, giving your body the needed nutrients for a healthy life forcibly gaining weight is self inflicted torture especially when you're this attractive already

  • Too skinny, but so am I and I have the same problem :p how much you weigh if you don't mind me asking :)

  • Generally I like a girl to be a bit on the curvy side. But I certainly wouldn't reject your over your body. You have what some people would call a model's body. I might suggest you lay off the chemicals used to streak your hair though.

  • Definitely too skinny. Some might find you attractive, but that'd not be my case.

  • You look slim to me, which... is different from skinny, slim is a very natural built/body type, it's just a smaller frame and it's not a bad thing at all, you also look fit to me, very healthy... as for attractive, you sure are, I like your shoulders, that's attractive to me.

    People... people are usually the problem, when they just say whatever they want to say to criticize to an extreme, without actually really knowing better. Which makes me think, unless you're starving yourself to keep a body like the one you have, then there's nothing wrong about your built, you look great and that's it.

  • You look absolutely fine to me, please try to stop worrying quite so much.

  • I think you look especially attractive/desirable !

    Your size & body shape is definitely my preference in a girl

  • It doesn’t matter what comments people make if you want to gain weight go for it. I found the best way to gain weight is eat a bunch of small meals a day last summer I ate 6-8 500 calorie meals a day. Half were pasta the others were whatever I wanted. It wasn’t enough to fill me each meal so I’d still be able to eat the next one. I put on 10 pounds in like 2 weeks.

  • I am the same body type and my girlfriend is also. So, you are just right.

  • No, as a guy who has been skinny all my life and skinny shamed and picked on and called everything from a “twig” to many other things suggesting how thin I am, no, you aren’t too skinny. People forget body shaming isn’t just towards people who deal with the opposite of being skinny, its no better to be shamed for being skinny than it is for the other

  • You are too skinny and maybe dangerous to your health. Id ask a doctor though. I dont know your height.

  • You look alright to me. Don't try to lose anymore weight than now, but you look fine. You sort of remind me of one of my old petite classmates, you're cute.
