I used to be a skinny guy, standing 5ft 8, weighing below 60kg. Sometime towards the end of 2004 I met up with an ex-classmate i havent seen since we left school. Upon seeing me, she said “guys do not look attractive being skinny”.
Coming from a lengthy attractive girl, her words troubled me a great deal so I started weight training. Today, my bodyweight is up by 15kg (that’s 33lbs!)
