Am I too skinny?

Question

I would like your honest opinions...I'm 5'1' and 92lbs. I want to know what mainly guys think of this but girls can answer too...Thank You!

Answer 1

Look... do a BMI test... if it say you are healthy then deal with it till you reach your ideal weight that's medically regarded as healthy. Hey... we all come in different shapes and sizes. Just be sexy and confident no matter your size yeah!?

Answer 2

This is a two part answer:

My superficial advice to you: Men like women with curves, that is, not skin and bones. Why? Think about it: if you were laying down and wanted to snuggle, what would you prefer to hug? A soft cuddly stuffed animal or a bunch of pretzels?

My "who cares what men think anyway" advice to you is:

Your body is designed to tell you when it's hungry and to tell you when it's not hungry anymore. This system is what biologists call "homeostasis" or the process of achieving balance (a balance in bodily chemistry). To accomplish this state of balance in your brain you have a gland called the hypothalamus, which emits a signal when you are hungry and stops the signal when you are full. Thus, when doctors say eat every 3-4 hours they base this on the fact that the hypothalamus will signal hunger every 3-4 hours. Because humans can reason, and in this American society of excess, we have to learn what to give our bodies every 3-4 hours so that it will function at its best.

So really, how much you weigh is already predetermined for you if you just pay attention and follow your body's signals. As far as pleasing other people (e.g., men), you need to learn to please yourself first. What weight makes you feel the strongest?

By obsessing on your body, you waste the time and energy you should be spending cultivating your mind and your personality.
Real love involves companionship, friendship, loyalty, honesty, faith and commitment. In the end those qualities make you an attractive women worthy of any man's love.

Answer 3

This depends upon your age and sex as well as height. Go to the BMI calculator site I included as source material here and check. Also, make sure you are weighing your 'true' weight - right after you wake up and go to the bathroom. Only at this time are you at your 'true' weight. If you have any questions, ask your doctor to assist you. A doctor will be able to tell you if you are at a healthy size. Now, if you are only asking for vanity purposes (perhaps not the best idea), just know that your body will change a lot through time and the key is being healthy and comfortable in your own skin.

Answer 4

The information youre giving out really isn't enough to determine whether youre too skinny to be healthy or not.

If you eat a substancial amount of calories each day without throwing it up then youre probably at your bodys natural weight for your age unless you have some kind of digestive disorder where youre not absorbing the nutrients youre taking in.

weight is just a number. A girl youre height could weigh more and just have more muscle mass and a smaller body fat percentage.

if you really want to look into this... thats what you need to seek out - BODY FAT PERCENTAGE. which is somewhat inaccurate to measure unless you go to a professional. It can be measured with a caliper or by emersing yourself in water.

Answer 5

You sound skinny, as long as you are eating healthy (not skipping meals etc..) then your okay health wise. I found that guys like a little to hold on too, curver girls have hips, boobs, butts, and thighs with a little weight, I'm not talkn 200 lbs, just ike 130-ish maybe 120. But if thats not you, then thats okay too, there are plenty of guys, with lots of likes and dislikes, it what you see thats improtant, confidence is SEXY! (PS I used to be pretty skinny and now that I have gained more weight then I wanted to in my 6 years of being w/ my husband, he has told me that when we forst started going out I was too skinny, he felt like he was going to break me everytime we play fought, or anything else:) But whatever size I am I strut my self, flaunt the good, it wil fix the not so good!

Answer 6

It depends on your age but it sounds like your just fine and just have a fast metabolism. I'm 15 years old 5'1 and 98 pounds and Id like to be about your weight so id say your just right.

Answer 7

I think as long as YOU'RE happy with yourself then don't worry about what other people think. The right guy will come along and like you for YOU. Just as long as you're not starving yourself then I think it's quite okay. I'm 5'4" and 105 lbs and I've never had any problems with guys. Don't worry about your weight.....any deserving guy will respect you for your mind, not your weight.

Answer 8

Can a person see your bones? Nothing wrong with 'little' but be careful on skinny.The only guys that I ever knew that liked girls really skinny were guys that liked to dominate.(female).

Answer 9

It depends... How old are you? I have a friend that is 12 years old, and she is 5'0 1/2" and weighs 86 pounds. She is considered average, maybe a few pounds lighter.

Answer 10

Believe me, I know a hot chick. Gain 15 lbs and get implants and you will be the hottest thing out there!
