If a woman or girl calls you skinny, should it be taken as an insult or a qualification test?

I'm fit and muscular but I have more of a runners build and a raging metabolism. At one point I was sensitive to my size, but as I grew older and realized that most people my age would love to have my body type I still feel like I'm being tested by women at times when they say I'm skinny or lanky.

Just wondering how I should take this. Others have posted about when you get more muscle weight on you garner more respect naturally, this I do not doubt. At the same time I believe in the mantra of "the body will attract effortlessly if effort is put into the body".

I put the effort in everyday, its just genetics at this point that keeps me strong, cut, but lanky. One girl I've been dating said she likes my body because even though I'm skinny, I'm muscular. Is this a common reaction by most girls to skinny guys?

It does not effect me as I am very content with my workout and body. Its the qualification game I'm wondering how to handle here.

We shouldn't get affected (like mad!) but if we're in self improvment, and people point us flaws, it's not bad to think about it a little.

I wouldn't mind hearing a experienced-based response to the op's question, hope someone has one!

I used to be a skinny guy and some of the girls did comment "you are so skinny", which I didn't like very much.

I think its a poor attempt by those type of women to make you feel bad about your situation because they themselves have weight issues.

I would just laugh it off and say " I guess I am lucky in that department, I can eat everything and not gain weight.... jealous?"

If you are content with your body, then you should project confidence. I used to get called skinny all the time, and it bothered me, so I did something about it. I would still like to be bigger, but quality weight gain takes a lot of time and money if you arent naturally a muscular guy.

What I would do is just look them straight in the eye and say "yeah." Totally deadpan. Wait for them to respond, it will usually be something accomodating if they like you.

Just Tell them "You can't fatten Thoroughbreds"....

It is neither- it is merely a comment from some random female ( assuming that it is not your Mother)

Women open their mouths and words fall out. They mean diddly.

Some of you guys are starting to sound like women talking about men . They pull every statement apart that a guy makes to extract his " true meaning ".

No wonder they rarely get any work done.

I have a lot of experience with this. I have actually been walking down a public street in broad daylight when a car full of drunk biatches goes by and one leans out and yells, "You are SOOO skinny."

Basically they are picking on you b/c they think you are weak. However, like with any bullies, the outcome depends on how you handle them. My response in that situation was

1. Thumbs up
2. Big smile
3. EC and don't break the gaze

The girl looked stunned for a second, then she goes, "Skinny guys are SOOO cool" and put her head back inside.

Another bltch, owned.

On a second note, I have seen friends of mine make fun of their little nephews or nieces for being skinny. It's interesting to note that these friends are *grossly* over-weight. I don't like to see kids picked on by adults, even in "good fun", so I will intervene and say to the kid, "You know, Uncle so-and-so used to be skinny like you, but it was a long time ago..." The kid will get the cue and say something like, "Yeah, it must have been a *really* long time ago," and everybody laughs.

Another bully, owned.

Ultimately, the shlt that bltches throw and the shlt that bullies throw is the same shlt. They are both testing for weakness. The difference is that bullies run from strength and bltches are drawn like moths to a flame. Flip the situation on either one and they turn into a pvssy.

P.S. Before hitting weights make sure you don't have Marfan's Syndrome. If you do, weights will kill you.

A couple of other come-backs I've used:

Someone's fat mom gives you a once-over at church and says, "You are so skinny, [name]. Do you ever eat?"
You give her the once-over back and say, "You are so fat, Mrs. [name]. Do you ever stop?"

Your friend says, "Dude, you are so skinny" at the pool.
You look down, look at him, look down, look at him, and with wide eyes go, "Holy shlt!" When he starts to laugh at your self-mockery twist one of his fat man-boob nipples hard enough to turn it purple.

Girl at school says in front of others, "Hey, you have no butt. That's weird."
You say, "So how long have you been staring at my azz, anyway?"

What will surprise you when you strike back fast and hard is that people have nothing after that. It's like they walked into a firefight with a gun and one bullet, and expected to shoot you through the heart. When you smack them back, they become submissive.

10 weeks of injectable testosterone should do the trick

if you're happy with how you are then a woman who isn't happy doesn't deserve you

Your quick metabolism is a gift from above. While the rest of us are off running or doing other forms of cardio, you can be kicking back and enjoying a Chipotle burrito, knowing full well it'll be burned off by the walk back to your car.
