I Hate Being Slim!!!

[nattaplaya]

I hate it with a passion. I wish I was fat. I eat a lot (in my opinion) and can't gain an ounce. I really can't eat six meals a day or change my diet drastically because food is expensive.

Every chick I know rather have a fat guy than a skinny guy.

The funny thing is people guess my weight to be 30lbs heavier than I actually am!

Food has to be a priority, unless you're totally broke you should be able to afford the food you need even if it means making a sacrifice of something else.

I'm skinny as well but I'm noticing it's really easy to make gains when you just start working out provided you have a decent program and eat a lot. I've gained over 5 pounds since the start of May.

And I'm like you too. I used to eat a lot but would never gain weight. Triple cheeseburgers, full pizzas, you name it...anything that would make most people fat. Of course I needed to eat better but I also noticed I still wasn't eating enough, you'll probably be blown away like I was when you realize how much more you should be eating.

Read threads in the Vault to learn more. I recommend if you're serious about making a change and not just making this thread to complain, then you should check out EFFORT's Simple Starting Diet and pick a workout routine from his Where to Start thread.

P.S. Yeah girls don't like skinny guys. Maybe because it signifies weakness, and the bigger guys tend to be more masculine. With that said I don't really agree with working out just to get laid.

no need to worry, dude. Being slim is optimal to the human body. unfortunately bodybuilders set bad standards for young lads similarly to what supermodels are for girls.

Instead of trying to grow big, a better goal is to become strong. That way you can do much more for your bodyweight. More potential for endurance sports, more potential for bodyweight-movements like climbing.

And girls certainly dont mind a lean but built guy.

I'm built and strong. I just have a small waist (29") and overall, slim and lean. My brother weighs 250lbs and we recently go into a struggle (nothing deadly, but we was going at it) and he was surprised at my strength.

Is EFFORT a user on these forums? Should I search via his screen name?

Train in a fighting sport. Leanness is a big advantage when you have to make weight.

Your weight means nearly nothing when it comes to girls, at least for anything else than ONSs (contradict if you want to). It's attitude that counts.

In some cases yes, in some cases no. Would you date a girl who is really fat but has the personality your looking for, how about really skinny. How about if you really like huge boobs, and she's got A's?

In a way you have to play the percentages if you want to be more successful at dating and meeting the one you want. Or you can do what my mom says by just waiting for the one for you, waiting to get chosen :crackup: ...and as I always tell my mom, there is no way in hell I'm waiting for her to come to me, i'll go get her myself :box:

Check the Vault, first two threads

 

[EFFORT]

because food is expensive.

are you in the states? If you are i can show you how to eat a lot by only spending $100 a month on food.

 

[Kerpal]

Drink a gallon of whole milk a day. That'll put some weight on you.

1) You must force the food down. It's hard at first but gets easier over time

2) WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU EATING, diet is 90% of your gains

3) Every chick doesnt actually want a fat guy more thats your mental attitude. Change It.

4) How much do you weight?

5) FOOD IS NOT EXPENSIVE!!!! I'm sick of people complaining that food is going up. I laugh at them because my food is actually around what EFFORT said only $100 a month. I've been eating the same food for the last 2 months. Food is really cheap when all you buy is Whey, Eggs, Brown Rice.

Whats even more hilarious is like last week in the grocery store. This kid was shopping with his mom and wanted some eggs. Probably because he's trying to gain weight. Anyway his mom says "Eggs are to expensive". Now don't get me wrong eggs are about $3.78 where I stay. So his mom doesnt buy eggs but instead gets a box of cereal thats like $5. Hilarious

Eggs are really expensive just a year or two ago you could get a dozen for under a dollar.

Yes, please tell me how.

For real? I love milk.

Can I take you up on that challenge? I'm a poor college student; it would be really good for me if I didn't have to spend nearly half my paycheck on food. And please don't tell me I have to cook!

$100/month! I spend that in a single week here in Manhattan!

To the OP: I know how you feel dude. I spent the better part of my life being the skinniest guy I knew. At this time last year I weighed only $116 lbs at 5'8 - today I'm 150, thanks to strength training and lots and lots of food. I can't even begin to tell you the benefits. Suffice it to say, it's one of the best things I've ever done for myself.

Of course this is all true. However, most of the (hot) chicks I know are in love with average looking dudes, that got the right personality/attitude. It makes them more attractive than a few extra pounds of muscle would do.
But my main point is

I Hate Being Slim!!! I hate it with a passion. I wish I was fat.
...

This is clearly an attitude problem. I have/had the same kind of thinking, so I know what I am talking about.

I am almost sure they don't want a fat guy. This would be ridiculous. However, they may like the personality of many fat dudes - the easygoing, laid-back, fun one. You can have this too, while staying slim (and healthy). Being obsessed about your appearance is exactly the opposite of what these guys do that makes them attractive (the easygoing, laid-back, etc.)

 

[Mandiblard]

Use it to your advantage, start racing karts.

Your attitude sucks, I haven't even seen you and you're depressing and I want to avoid you. Very unattractive.
