Is being skinny all that great

Okay so im a 16 year old guy, and its not like i don't get girls or anything. Girls tell me im funny and shit all the time, and a few girls like me as is. I feel as if being fat is like... a part of me. Im not super fat, but i mean im chubby.

So i was thinking. Is it really worth it to be skinny? like the only advantage i see is going to the beach without a shirt. LOL. I mean i like playing video games, and sports... not so much. But i mean...

If i get girls and im fat.... If im not fat maybe i can get one the the really really hot girls in my high school?

So my question is..

Im 5'6ish and i weigh around 160-175 pounds, Have not weighed in for a while, so i might be more or less. Should i spend me whole summer trying to lose weight.

I mean what are the benefits of being skinny. Any good diet recommendations and If i did this i would go all out, no matter how hard it is. I want to lose weight in the fastest manner possible, like i said go all out. So what way should i exercise, what should i eat, should i try to lose weight then get swole or get swole before losing weight. Thanks for reading and hope i get some good advice

 

I guess an important benefit to you might be self-confidence. You might be able to pull girls with more confidence. You can't lie, if you were ripped, wouldn't you WANT to go to the beach to show it off a little. I guess it can also help your heart.

 

yeah i pull like 25% of the girls i meet now... like im "cute" but i mean im a butterbody

 

Most girls don't care about looks, you'll find that the girls that go for looks are normally the slaggy ones (obviously except for the slaggy ones that sleep with anything) all you need is confidence. Make her laugh be her friend etc.
So it doesn't really matter about girls.

Skinny people also tend to be weaker than bigger people as well, bigger people can gain muscle better as they have dat to burn so the muscles always have fuel.

They might look good with their top off but it's because they have hardly any body fat to cover their muscles, so they show. It's better to be big and strong IMO.

 

lul.

well health wise I would recommend losing a bit of weight maybe try losing about 30 pounds and you should even out your body a bit. Not for the looks but in the long run you will face less problems. An easy way to lose weight is just cut out junk food. I know people who lost 20 pounds in 2 months because they cut out sugar and have never exercised.

Also I weigh 130 pounds and about 5 foot 8, I've taken down people who have almost twice the weight on me, and a little taller, some even my height. Being taller/ bigger doesn't make somebody stronger, sure weights wise somebody can pick up more than me but in a fight if you fight a small person who knows how to dodge + punch you won't win you get a lot more tired when your big then when you do if your small. Also my cousins smaller than me and hes taken out 3 guys probably weighing about 150+.

Try losing a bit of weight don't try to get really skinny just try cutting junk food out of your life if it plays a big role in your lifestyle. Right now you may not feel the affects of being overweight but in the future it can have very negative effects.

 

Gotta be honest, I'm kinda in the same situation as you (chubby) and still happy with the way I am.
Just do what make you feel like you, not what others want.

 

If you had actually read what I said I said they "tend" to be stronger I never said they are stronger. Also you have just proven my point, you said

That would imply that they are stronger than you.
Weight classes were implemented into a lot of fighting competitions because weight does give a lot of advantage in a fight. Just because you can take down someone bigger doesn't mean every skinny person in the world can.
He asked the benefits of being skinny, being smaller than your opponent is not a benefit.

How ever your advice on being healthy is good and I agree with it.

 

well... i decided i might try to lose some weight. So i just ordered nutrosystem. Hope it works out for me. Just measured myself. 179. FUCK lol

 

I wouldn't spend ALL your summer trying to lose weight. It's not so much about whether your skinny or not, it's more about being fit. You could be a bit portly, but still have good muscle mass. If you want to be skinny, make sure you're eating right because otherwise you'll feel pretty crappy when you're super skinny and suffering from malnutrition

 

Being SKINNY wouldn't really be much different from being skinny-fat. If you get twig-skinny which is where you're heading if you're still fat at 179 and trying to lose weight as fast as possible, you may find your efforts to be in vain. You'll look shitty.

Don't become skinny, become muscular and bulk up, it's a lot better

Because you're weight, you can turn that excess fat into muscle easy.
Every girl I've talked to prefer muscular men to skinny men haha

 

I agree with this guy, just because you're skinny/smaller doesn't mean you can't hand some bigger guys ass to him.
Same with being big while fighting a smaller guy. This isn't the UFC where if you're big you can just lay on top of them until they tap out lol.


A lot of funny chubby guys have gotten hot girls and are very successful.
Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, just to name some.

Don't think you have to be skinny to be "accepted" into today's society.

if you want to lose a few pounds try running a mile everyday then eventually upgrade to 2, 3, etc.
Hit the gym 2 times a week and work out your arms, abs, etc.

 

1) You say skinny, having a six pack and large abs does not make you skinny, its something that will appeal to alot of girls.

2) Your health is something you should take into consideration

3) Being fat means you could have smaller erections because of your bad blood circulation (clogged veins) meaning that not all of the blood reaches your penis, also your fat rolls will cover it so it will appear smaller, many girls don't appeal to a small penis.

4) The main thing is your personality, it doesn't matter if your fat or thin, small or large, if someone likes your for who you are then your fine.

 

it's no worth being skinny, it's worth being how you are, everybodies perfect in someone's eyes and in my opinion skinny isn't the best look there is, just keep how you are it's not worth changing yourself for others around you.

 

Lol, Being skinny isn't just better to pick up girls, working out, good dieting all leads to better health, trust me, if you do decide to get up and start working out it will benefit you in the long run.

 

Personally, i would try to loose that 'chubbyness'. I mean, you are in your teens (i assume) experiment and try new things.

I suggest going on p90x. Its the worlds best fitness and muscle gain regime. 90 days and guaranteed results.

You dont need to kill yourself at the gym or doing cardio. Aim ti workout, more so cardio twice a week 30 mins each day. In the end you will see the results.

I used to be skinny, like bone skinny; even tho i played football and tennis at state level, i was simply a stick. I then decided to gym/eat more healthily and aim to tone myself and gain that extra muscle.

In the end, i did. I'm not some massive bulked up guy; i do however have muscle, and am ripped and toned - which i beleive girls prefer.

As i said, its all up to you; do what you feel you can.

 

OK, so this is a true story, no lies in this:

When I was young, I was really, really chubby. I didn't really like being fat but I never was bullied as I was tough at the same time and I always had good friends. When I went to college (High school for Americans) I decided that enough was enough and I tried to lose weight. I ended up walking a good 5km a day home and I ended up probably being too skinny (this was over a period of just over a year). I know am perfect height / weight as I go to the gym, eat right and do enough cardio. To be perfectly honest, I'd probably rather be fat like I was then as skinny as I got because when you are skinny, you end up getting weak and shit.

Anyway, I'd really recommend that you go to the local gym and get a workout plan there especially if you can afford it. Going to the gym actually gets really enjoyable after a while and you actually want to do it. At least start off by walking home if it's over 1KM or under 10KM instead of getting some transport. I hope that this has given you some ideas .

 

If a girl likes you then it should be for who you are, not what you look like. Otherwise she's not worth it...
Do only what your comfortable with, if you like your body or are fine with yourself at the moment then don't change. Losing weight for health or confidence reasons is always good though...

 

To be honest it sounds like your just making excuses for not getting active. I asume by skinny you don't mean bony as hell, which is just as unhealthy. Of course it benefits you if you lose your chub so stop making excuses and do it Girls may like you now.. obviously they'd like you more if you were more attractive. Chub typically isn't more attractive than no chub..

As for losing weight, don't do it "as fast as possible." I assume since you are going all out you will also be lifting weights. If you lift weights and eat right you will turn that fat into actual muscle, not just lose it and look skinny with loose skin.
