Aside from impacting your dating life, it's likely affecting your health as well. Putting on some weight and muscle did wonders to my confidence and health, so I'd highly recommend it.

Therocksays2020 · 2021-06-14T23:36:28+00:00

That’s an unhealthy size. Your focuses should be nutrition first then muscle building.

I would recommend talking to a doctor about your options and maybe seeing a dietitian. I'm 6'2" and 130 lbs and what trained medical professionals have told me is that I'm healthy at this weight and the things we have tried to gain weight have all failed. It's entirely possible to be healthy at that weight just make sure you are taking in what you are putting out if not more.

Overeating to gain weight can be just as unhealthy as being underweight, so I can't stress enough that you should talk to a professional about your options.

I won't lie and say that being skinny can't hurt your chances with some girls, because it definitely can but even skinny guys can get good looking girls. Being confident in your body is a big plus regardless of size. Being able to joke about it helps.

Just working on who you are outside of your physical size will get you a long ways. If you feel like you look too young maybe you can grow facial hair, I'm a year younger than you and from the sounds of it most people would guess I'm a decade older, because of the beard and my demeanor. How you hold yourself can effect how you are perceived by a lot.

A couple weeks ago I was visiting Minneapolis and a girl I met there thought I was lying about my age because I seemed older than I am, that comes down to how I hold myself, a well groomed beard, and the appearance of wealth to a certain degree. Another thing that can make people assume your older is having money but not being to crazy with it, think nice clothes and we'll groomed but not being plastered with Gucci and wearing a Rolex.

In summary see a doctor, ensure you are healthy and evaluate your options, work on your confidence and present yourself as the person you want to be.

Bro you need to eat your basic 3 meals a day and a protein shake. Drink about a gallon of water a day. Add some supplements. Iron and zinc are amazing. Get 20min of sun daily. Sleep 8 hrs atleast. And lift heavy at the gym.

Do this for a month straight and youll see a huge difference.

For reference purposes, I’ll be 17 soon and I’m 6’1 195 lbs. I do lift so it’s mostly muscle. That being said, I do think you are pretty underweight. If you can get to 165-180 ish you would look and probably feel a lot better.

As for the dating aspect, I would say getting to the weight spectrum I listed above would likely increase your chances. Women like dudes who are healthy and take care of themselves.

As for getting to a healthier weight, tons of advice on YouTube, but to keep it plain and simple eat big get big and train harder than last time

Big disclaimer, try to improve all aspects of your life not just working out!

Tall skinny guys always have a big dick. I always did ok. So will you.

Slow-Association6105 · 2021-06-15T00:23:25+00:00

That is extremely skinny. I’m 6’0 160 and I’m very happy with that, although I’m still relatively skinny. Just consistently work out (5 days a week) and eat good after your workouts. Creative and water will also help you quickly gain weight. Before you know it you’ll probably be 140-145 with defined muscles. Still skinny, but you are tall so that will help you a lot in life.

Gaining muscle will give you a crap load of confidence.

KaleidoscopeOk9746 · 2021-06-15T01:05:40+00:00

I hear this all the time (the part about no tinder matches). Do you all mean literally a big fat 0 matches or 'very few.' Hard to imagine especially for guys in big cities with huge numbers of people that it's really 0 but I've heard that a lot, including from guys that are like 5.5. or 6 out of 10 looks wise. I guess OLD is a bitch.

bitchbuster69 · 2021-06-15T04:26:48+00:00

Don't look for gaining weight, gaining muscle is the best option for general health as well as getting dates. Resistance training with adequate nutrition and calories.

TheKandyCinema · 2021-06-15T05:22:53+00:00

I was in the same shoes as you man.

Was 6'3 140 in high school and am now 6'5 190 just from working a physical job and not skipping breakfast. With the gyms finally open, I'm hoping to hit 200-205 by the end of the year and 215-220 by the end of 2022.

Getting bigger helps your confidence so much. I'm still not 100% confident in how I look, but compared to high school, it's night and day man. Get a gym membership, lift some weights, and use mass gainer to really help you bulk up. Especially at your weight, the changes will be fast and your height is a really good foundation for a great physique.

BrunoFromBrazil · 2021-06-15T14:02:13+00:00

In terms of attractiveness:

Athletic > Jacked > Average > Skinny > Chubby > Fat

In general terms you can get laid at any body type, but the quantity, quality and difficulty will vary.

So yeah, work on your physique... but also work on your game right now and don't wait until you're bigger.

Ohhhwordddd · 2021-06-15T16:05:31+00:00

You should be at least 190 given your height. Double your protein intake

the_spacebro · 2021-06-15T19:56:56+00:00

For dating? Too skinny can probably be a turn off to some. But at 6'1" I'd be more concerned about my health if I weighed much less than 160. There are a ton of factors though so maybe take to a doctor and see if they can help you figure out what a healthy weight is for you.

MrDownhillRacer · 2021-06-15T01:43:06+00:00

I see lanky dudes do well all the time. Having some muscle is ideal, but I'd say that being lanky is preferable to being chubby, from my observations.

I mean, those skinny-ass skater boy types seem to absolutely slay.

greenlight144000 · 2021-06-15T01:22:42+00:00

I’m in your shoes too I turn 22 next month and I’m 6’0 and only 140 pounds and people think I’m underage still

Rattok150 · 2021-06-15T05:07:31+00:00

I mean there are a lot of woman that live skinny dudes, just look at lil huddy. But yeah work on yourself so you can feel good. Plus you’re 6’1 so if you get better at your game you can get late my guy you’re all gucci

Downtown-Ad-1034 · 2021-06-15T17:21:00+00:00

I’m 5’10 122 was 120 last week started working out slowly gettin up there

funalytics · 2021-06-15T17:48:38+00:00

Dude, do you eat?

007deku · 2021-06-15T18:01:44+00:00

You will get more looks from women and you will feel better

No-Guide7040 · 2021-06-15T21:32:58+00:00

It's tough to get a perspective without a photo. some people wear things differently than others. Sometimes you see some folks that are either really thin or really large some people pull it off some of them don't.

huh274 · 2021-06-16T23:14:46+00:00

Ignore Roman if you are trying to bulk. Simple math, Calories in - Calories out.

There are healthy ways to bulk, and I’m 6 ft roughly 145 lbs and am 32, have more or less been at this weight since 17.

I workout regularly, and have lean muscles that are getting thicker and more solid looking with virtually no change in diet and even eating at a caloric deficit.

I recommend working out with body weight until it’s too easy, making sure to work out “big” muscle groups, and ignore the lesser ones as they don’t really get bigger on skinnies.

Look up “ectomorph” body type, that’s what we are and there are entire workouts and diets geared towards us.

Miserable-Bag8335 · 2021-06-16T06:06:31+00:00

No I’m

HelloMyHomies · 2021-06-15T00:08:07+00:00

I'm 6'2 23 years old and 195 pounds. I'm not sure what you're asking but you definitely need to gain weight. I couldnt imagine being that weight considering we have the same stats pretty much. That has gotta be really unhealthy. You need to bulk up and lift weights or something

Interesting-Brief202 · 2021-06-15T03:23:42+00:00

It's really bad to be that skinny. That is like concentration camp skinny. I used to be 176 at 6-3 and people openly mocked me for looking sickly. Bro,

YOU NEED FOOD NOW OR YOU MIGHT DIE!

Being that smll is really gonna hurt you with girls, but not dying should be a biiger concern for you right now.

To reiterate: BRO YOU REALLY GOTTA EAT MORE NO BULLSHIT DO IT NOW!
