Nataly 38 #1 September 15, 2009 Just curious BTW: I'm in no way encouraging people not to like their body - I was just wondering what other people thought. I'm especially curious what the guys will answer.

You submitted the best pack pic!! Yes, I voted legs - they're not long, sexy and slim.. They're muscle-y from years of running and I don't look lady-like in anything skirt-like. Oh well.. Can't have it all.

jf951 1 #4 September 15, 2009 not to sound like i have a huge ego... but i feel pretty content with my self. i mean, im not walkin around with 22" pipes and a super model body but i dont feel bad about my self. i just feel its more constructive to work posative with what you've got going for you than to just get down about the few things that are not. and hey. there are some wacked out ppl out there. no matter how wack u look someones got a fetish for it right???

MikeJD 0 #9 September 15, 2009 There are things I'd change for sure, but on the whole I'm happy enough. I think a good question to ask yourself is, if I could randomly swap bodies with anyone else in the world - let's say someone healthy, and of the same age and gender - would I chance it? If the answer is no, then things can't be all that bad! It's funny how a single comment can influence your own body image too. I used to really wish I wasn't so skinny (I'm about 5'11" and 154 lbs). One day out of the blue a mildly overweight friend said, 'My ideal build would be something like Mike's.' I really think in that moment that I began to like my body a lot more!

hungarianchick 0 #10 September 15, 2009 I never cared about my nose. Somehow it just doesn't seem to fit on my face. If I had an extra 5-6 Gs lying around I'd probably get it fixed, but I don't so it stays. "I love cooking with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food."

That's a perfect build for our sport. When I graduated high school I was 6'1" and 165, all shoulders and no waist. Now I'm 175-180, and would love to drop 10 pounds down again.

Get into cycling, especially climbing. The best climbers are small and skinny. Tom Danielson holds the record for Mt Evans & Lookout Mt. He is 5' 10", 130#. I'm 6' 2" I fondly think back to when I was 173 and hated being skinny. Now I am 190 and working on getting back down to 180 to improve my climbing."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

Thats still pretty damn skinny. Skinny??? According to the MetLife charts, that is still in the upper part of the acceptable range (155-197): http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/met.htm A competitive cyclist of my height weighs ~155."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

Nataly 38 #22 September 15, 2009 Wow!! I'm surprised by these answers!! Well, not shocked, but it's interesting. My legs are the one thing I would consider cosmetically improving. Mostly I find them disproportionately bulky for the rest of my small frame. I don't HATE them, and they're not AWFUL, but I'm not especially happy about them either.

amstalder 0 #23 September 15, 2009 I guess Im just not used to seeing people that tall that skinny. My dad is 6'2" 240 and most of my friends over 6' are around 200. But they all lift a lot too... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
