DD123 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 me and my boyfriend have been dating for like 10 months. he is like 6ft 1in and weighs 110 lbs. (i know, very skinny. but its just his metabolism. he does eat...a lot actually) I am 5ft 5 and weigh 155 pounds. im not skinny, but i wouldnt say im very fat either. medium about. we are both vegetarians. i have a very healthy diet and exercise regularly. yesterday we were talking about how he eats more than i do. and he was about to say something like, you eat so much less than me why do you weigh what you do. but, he stopped him self realizing it would sound mean. but i knew what he was going to say. so i was like, skinnier? and he was like, yeah i just didnt want to sound mean. we have never really talked about my weight before, he has never talked about it or said it bothered him. now im worried he thinks im fat and unattractive. am i overthinking??

DN Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Yes, - he probably was more concerned about his own metabolism and realised how that might misconstrued. Link to comment
Clarity Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 He's been with you for 10 months, yet you're going to let a little verbal slip-up convince you that he's not attracted to you? Don't be silly and forget about this incident. Link to comment
annie24 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 No, I wouldn't take his comment personally. It does sound like he has a super active metabolism and he should probably talk to his doctor. 6 feet and 110 pounds? he must look like a concentration camp survivor. no offense. Link to comment
DD123 Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 i dont think he will ever be able to gain weight. its okay though, i dont mind idk, i guess im just worried that since he is so skinny he will look at me like im fat...idk. Link to comment
AbombSnowMan Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 He just didn't want to sound mean i'm sure he didn't mean it. I wouldn't worry about him thinking your fat. I think hes more worried about himself being skinny. Your wrong about him not being able to gain weight. I was just like him and everybody thought I ate a lot too. I started eating more and gained about 20 lbs. If he wants to gain weight he just needs to eat more, metabolism is no excuse! Although it probabally is harder to gain weight since hes a vegetarian, but still doable. Link to comment
Cognitive_Canine Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 He was trying to comment on how skinny he was (and how he didn't want to be) but then realized halfway through how it could come off that he was commenting on your weight. He meant nothing against you. I think you might be a little insecure about your own weight and that's why his comment bothered you. Link to comment
Sports Fan Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 6'1" 110 pounds? You sure that isn't a typo? I'm 160 pounds at the same height and I'm pretty thin. Can't imagine someone the same height as me and 50 pounds lighter. Link to comment

Can't imagine someone the same height as me and 50 pounds lighter. yeah, exactly. my friend is 5'3 and 111 lbs and she is a size 0. 110 lbs is like literally starving. Link to comment
Sports Fan Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 yeah, exactly. my friend is 5'3 and 111 lbs and she is a size 0. 110 lbs is like literally starving. It depends on how you're built too. I though even at 110 pounds, that would be like a size 2. Link to comment
DD123 Posted July 9, 2010 Author Share Posted July 9, 2010 not a typo. he is very thin. i mean...he doesnt look ill or anything just skinny haha Link to comment
Sports Fan Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 not a typo. he is very thin. i mean...he doesnt look ill or anything just skinny haha That's not possible. I'm thin at 6'1" 160. Someone that height and 50 pounds lighter probably looks like a Somalian child. Link to comment
DD123 Posted July 9, 2010 Author Share Posted July 9, 2010 he doesnt. he is just skinny. he looks perfectly healthy. Link to comment
annie24 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 link removed he would have a BMI of 14.5 then, which is way medically underweight. you should put him back on a scale, lol. we are curious! I wonder if you mean 100 kg? that's more reasonable for a 6'1 man. Link to comment

I wonder if you mean 100 kg? that's more reasonable for a 6'1 man. It's more reasonable, but that's not thin. 6'1" 220 pounds is not thin at all. Link to comment
annie24 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 It's more reasonable, but that's not thin. 6'1" 220 pounds is not thin at all. lol, that's true. 220 and 6'1" isn't thin, but certainly a more reasonable looking man. Link to comment
DD123 Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 111 lbs. im not mistaking. he is underweight...but he doesnt look unhealthy because he doesnt have an eatting disorder or anything, its just his metabolism. Link to comment
