Is being skinny a bad thing ( When it comes to female attraction)

0

For as long as i can remember, my nicknames have been “lanky” or “skin and bones” and ” stickman”. As you can imagine, my self asteem has been effected.
Over the years i have come across several females that were nice to me and liked me, but Only As A Friend. I have always been complemented on my personality, but never on my physical features. I have started to conclude my being stuck in friendzones as the reslut of being so bony.
I have always had a six pack but thats without work and unoticable by women
I have tried weight lifting i actually bench 160 lbs weigh 175 lbs and stand 6’4. My metabolism is so high, that no matter what i eat, my elbows and arms continue to resemble spaghetti strings.
Ive always noticed football jocks and athletes getting all the attention from the hottest women.. So i want to know. Are females turned off by skinny guys? If so what would ever make a woman possibly ever notice a skinny guy ?

I really don't think there is a normal to what people like in other people. If people looked past on what society deemed attractive then they would notice the great things in front of them.Besides, physical appearance is NOT the most important thing about finding someone to be with you. It's all hyped up for no reason other than to sell stupid products that don't work. So don't worry about it.

If you are healthy, happy, and taking good care of yourself, eating properly and are in good spirits, then f*ck what anyone says about your. Your body type is YOURS, if being thin is natural to you then just take care of the body you were given, if you're curvy, then all the power to you. It's about health and well-being, not giving into unrealistic societal standards.

I am honestly very attracted to the tall lean and lanky body type. The fact that you're not just skinny but you do have muscle is all the better. Though I am with the other poster in saying that I too am one of those weird girls who's more about personality than looks. Doesn't mean I don't have a preference. ^_^<3 If you're insecure about your body though, it's likely to show through in your demeanor, and that's probably what keeps the girls away, not your looks. People think it's BS, but the real thing that attracts girls is confidence, not looks. I've known plenty of guys that I don't consider that attractive, but they honestly don't give a fuck what anyone else thinks, and somehow that's really sexy and it draws girls to them like a magnet. You just have to believe in yourself. Just remember to keep the right balance between self confidence and conceit. You don't want to turn into a jerk. :P

i dont know really because i dont like boys, but in my opinion i think all girls are kindof individual in what they find attractive. there will be people who see the beauty in all shapes of nature.

Real talk... Too much of anything is a turn off. (Aim for a balance)

I'm one of those weird girls who legitimately is only attracted to people who I like their personality. A lot of these guys are skinny, never stopped me. Maybe other girls sometimes. Not most of my friends. I hang out with a very geeky crowd of people though. It's probably actually a confidence or shooting yourself in the foot kind of problem. Though obviously, not every girl is going to like you, so this kind of rejection happens to absolutely everyone. If you're looking for advice, since you don't seem to want any female friends, just a girlfriend, you could check out dating sites or dating areas or whatever.

The truth is that it's so much easier to criticise other people than accept your own shortcomings.

it doesnt matter what you are, as long as you love yourself. because no one will like/love you until you like/love yourself

It's all a matter of personal preference. Some people like skinny, some like chubby. I've always liked the average, a little over average build on a guy.

maybe you need to increase the amount of people you interact with and you might have better chances of coming across someone who really likes you. I don't think you should worry or try changing, as long as you are healthy.
