Re: do you see me, body image in the lgbtq community... aye matey she be a fickle one

Pretty sure that as many people like skinny guys as muscly guys. I don't really like guys who are at all hench tbh, I like someone who's more skinny definitely. Ideally not like I can see their ribs but otherwise yeah, way more attractive than big biceps and whatever

I find your writing style funny, please keep it going haha

I have body image issues for sure after being teased so much during jr. high and high school. It was and is still very difficult.

 

Re: do you see me, body image in the lgbtq community... aye matey she be a fickle one

I think that my body image is a lot better than that of most girls. So many girls seem to be obsessed with losing weight, even though they already are at a healthy weight. Unless I get overweight, I will be pretty content with my weight. I wish I had more muscle though. I take pride in the muscle I do have.

 

Re: do you see me, body image in the lgbtq community... aye matey she be a fickle one

I was always happy with the way I looked, but I started going to the gym to get fit and maybe feel a little less old as I was starting to find things difficult. Now I feel like I did when I was in my 20s and I think I look alot better than I did. Maybe I'm just getting vain?

 

Re: do you see me, body image in the lgbtq community... aye matey she be a fickle one

I've always felt skinny. I get the feeling people are very obsessed about beauty and muscles to the point that I criticize myself and all my flaws for it. I have those days when I just hate everything about myself and other days I'm completely content with the way I look. I think body image issues are more prominent in the gay community than for straight men.

 

Re: do you see me, body image in the lgbtq community... aye matey she be a fickle one

I am a skinny guy and I dislike it :|. However I don't have serious body image issues, I'm working on a healthier me. I don't need to be a gym rat, some daily exercises and a good diet will do fine. And by good diet I mean "all I can eat"
I really want to crack 20 pull-ups though!

 

Re: do you see me, body image in the lgbtq community... aye matey she be a fickle one

I'm not content with the way I look. And I want to have big muscles. That's just me though. I've gone from being called fat to too skinny. It sucks. Now it's all about me trying to get muscles. I wanna be that guy with the nice body.

 

Re: do you see me, body image in the lgbtq community... aye matey she be a fickle one

I don't like my weight. I've been trying to lose weight for awhile and it's going away slowly. Still.. it would be so much easier to just be the way I want and not get reminded how "ugly" I look every time I step out of the house.

 

Re: do you see me, body image in the lgbtq community... aye matey she be a fickle one

If you ignore the obvious lack of curves and boobs, I don't much mind my body from a health perspective. If it were possible, I'd give it to a transman, because they'd love it I'm sure. It's not Hulk-size muscles, but it's a good foundation for whatever you want.

One thing that kind of limits me, when I am active is, doing too much will give me a bodily shape I don't want. I don't mind a toned body, but when it begins to accumulate too much mass, it kind of kills me on the inside. But I can take pride in knowing, I'm ahead of the bulk (pun intended) of Americans.

 

Re: do you see me, body image in the lgbtq community... aye matey she be a fickle one

I can relate to everything you said (being 5'7 and 110 pounds).. except for the sandwich part, if someone told me i should eat another sandwich, i could probably eat 3 more. On a good day i eat a whole bread/day. But my body is stuck at 110, like anything i gain, i lose in about 2 days. So it's pointless.
And yeah, seeing that all gay guys are like super buff and stuff makes me pretty self conscious and feel kinda like I'd never be someone's first choice, just because of that.
In the last few months my body image issues are kinda more manageable than before (i have a really shitty story regarding my body image that ruined a past relationship, but whatever) and yeah.
I tried working out, nothing really changed in 3-4 months, so I kinda gave up.
I've kinda gotten used to it, know i cant change it, and I know I'm actually a catch, besides my body being not that great. So however can't see past that, their loss.
So point is: you should just love your body, especially if you cant do anything to change it, cause you know.. this is the body you live in for all your life, so gotta get used to it.
Also, I can eat all i want and not gain a pound, I think i win this game.

 

Re: do you see me, body image in the lgbtq community... aye matey she be a fickle one

I'm actually rather obsessed with my body image. Never satisfied.

Ideally, I'd like to have a masculine, skinny, leanly-muscled body. Like this guy.

 

Re: do you see me, body image in the lgbtq community... aye matey she be a fickle one

*body image issues intensify*

 

Re: do you see me, body image in the lgbtq community... aye matey she be a fickle one

Tell me about it. Like I said that's how I want to be. Right now my body is horrifying.

 

Re: do you see me, body image in the lgbtq community... aye matey she be a fickle one

im not really sure what op's question was, but add me to the body image issues list
