6"3' 75kg (165lbs). Used to be 60 but I gained 15kg over the last five years... Still have pencil stick arms/wrists though. A lot of it just seems to go to my gut instead of proportioning out in the rest of my body.

As a guy, this really hurts. And it completely smashes your ego. It doesn't help with all the comments women make about "not wanting a guy skinnier than them". For some people it's really, really hard to gain weight. People used to call me "sticks", and always poke shit at me about being skinny, and I would just brush it off. That's the kind of personality I have. But it hurt. And it really took a toll on my ego.

I started to smoke a lot of weed as an easy fix. Pathetic, I know. But I thought that "the munchies" would help me gain the weight. Yeah, no. I could eat through two pizzas myself but I would just feel disgusted about what I was putting in my body. I'm a spinach and steak kind of guy, not a cheese glutton. I had BDD through college, and have a lot of confidence issues because of my slimness. It's only in the last few months that I've finally gotten confident enough to go outside without a jumper and not stress to much about my pencil arms.

I don't get why it's taboo to mention how fat someone is, but criticizing or mentioning there skinniness is no big deal. If there wasn't such a huge double standard it wouldn't bother me one bit. That would be fair game. But it's not like that.

All the same... I'm now struggling between wanting to just be fit and healthy, and wanting to eat as much as I can, gomad, lift, and put tons of effort into becoming big and strong. On one hand I kind of just want to be fit and not mind about being a skinny lanky guy, on the other hand, I can't stop stressing about what people think about me because "that man is so skinny... Is he anorexic?"

Also, it made me realize how easy chicks have it. All they really have to do to look good is not eat like a glutton
