wow... did this thread ever take off more than the 3 or 4 responces I expected when I posted.
a few notes off the top of my head (as I didn't write anything down to remember).
- I know if a guy like Jabba the Hut can get a girl then there must be something more than just looks. But when you're rejected in favour of Jabba... that plays games with your mind.
- Kermitology, I thought when I posted here I'd be the skinniest, and lankiest poster here bar none in the 2000+ registered users. You're an inch shorter than I, and weighted more than I do when you told your story. But you were close, how long did it take to put some weight on? ie: before seeing results
- Captain Crunch, 6 weeks to see changes? As in put on weight, or by lift load you mean I'll go from being able to bench 5lbs (something like that currently haha) to like 25 lbs?
- As evidenced by my joke in the previous point I have ZERO body strength. While I would go to a gym, it's super embarasing to have people watch you life little to no weight with a struggle. I'd compare it to dancing at a bar, I know I make fun of people that dance like me, so I don't dance (unless I'm drunk, or with a girl I'm interested in). I'd use the same theory for the gym.
Ahh for those wondering, I'm 23 and have weighed the same since about grade 9 or 10. I was told when you get to high school your metabolism will slow down and you'll gain some weight. I was cool with that. Then it was after you graduate, then during university... I'm currently a year away from finishing a masters degree, and still, nothing.
For a guy who is funny, smart, makes good money, is an all around good guy, does whatever he can to make sure friends/family are happy, but can't get a girl... dude... what else is left but my weight/appearance?
I don't think it's a matter of being rejected because I'm skinny, but not being on the radar so when something comes up it's like "well yeah we hang out all the time, and have a blast together, etc, but I never thought of him in that way." Whereas if you're overweight, which is common in our society, you're at least on the radar.
