So I have an extremely skinny frame and I'm a fat girl magnet. I'm hesitant to do any cardio at all because I really don't want to stay as a skinny fat girl magnet. Do you guys think I should do a little bit of cardio or stay away from it in general until I lose my skinny frame?
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Cardio when you're already really really skinny, yay or no?

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Do sprints 1-2 twice a week(will help build up legs)....if you're moving along at a good pace in your weight training you should be fine also.
You probably burn more cals then a squirrel...so just make sure you keep protein very high talking at least 1.5 to 2 grams X BW

Define "really really skinny" with some numbers.
I think that most people should do some measure of cardio just for health reasons, but make sure that you are eating enough to make up for the calories you are burning, so that you can bulk up.

I don't think it is a good idea to completley remove cardio, it has many benefits.
However you don't need to be knocking your pan in every day to see those benefits. There's no way you should be going for runs or whatever.
Something like going for a brisk walk for 30 minutes, 3 times a week is perfect. This should actually improve recovery and help you gain.
Getting your heart rate in the 130-150 range is the aim. You should be comfortable whilst doing it and feel fine afterwards.
This will not be a problem, as you will be stuffing down even more beef and eggs to compensate.
That's my two cents anyway,

NEVER STOP DOING CARDIO !!! Just substitute typical commercial gym cardio like treadmill, elliptical, bike stuff for Conditioning Work.
Here are some examples of what I use for my clients and athletes as well as myself
Sandbag Training
Sled Work
Sandbags are cheap to make no more than 30 bucks, and they are one of the best conditioning tools you could ever use.
YOu can find an old tire at ANY automotive shop and get tires for free. All you need to to do is strap some rope or any kind of sled straps and you have another excellent conditioning tool.
If you give up cardio you wont make muscular size and strength gains as fast as if you did some type of GPP work on your off days.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Completely agree with the previous posts. I'm skinny too (5'11" 150lbs) from cycling and running and I can tell you from experience that unless you cut down massively on the cardio you'll find it very difficult or impossible to gain weight.
