I'm a 25 year old male, 5'7" and just over 100 lbs. I'm naturally skinny, but never thought too much about it. I've never really had much luck with girls, and recently I've started to wonder if part of it has to do with my physique. Ladies, would you ever date a really skinny guy, or do you find them unattractive?

You're very underweight. That's just the start of your problems. I suggest you make an appointment to see your doctor ASAP.

Here are some weight charts. They all vary, but the numbers are very close to one another.

Generally speaking, no. We do not find them attractive. Just like generally speaking, men do not find overweight women attractive.

That said - every pot has its lid. There's a woman out there for you who will find you attractive.

Your problem is that you are underweight and it is very unhealthy. 100 pounds at 5'7 is very small. Please go to your doctor to get help to gain weight.

Minimum BMI for a small-framed 5'7"woman starts at 123 lbs; for a man it's 138 lbs. If you're just over 100 lbs you may look too thin in the eyes of many women.

It's all a matter of preference, on a per-person and per-woman basis. Even if the next 50 women you meet don't find you attractive, it's no indication that the next 50 won't either. Every person has their preference.

I weight 130lbs (at most) for 6'2", so I'm underweight as well. Neither food nor build-up will shift my weight upwards, so I kinda have to accept it. A bit of grooming, self-care, and most importantly self-confidence should shine through despite your shape.

Despite my toothpick appearance, I've been told by at least one woman (out of three) that I was physically attractive and I'm pretty sure that wasn't just to be nice, but I can't detail here why

So, if you can actually do something about it (for instance through work-out, which should be a very healthy way) then explore that venue, but in all case just accept the fact you might be forever underweight, and just work with it. There are women who will find you attractive.

I think this is relatively easy to fix.
Your body weight and appearance can be significantly improved with weight training (see a personal trainer to design a program tailored to your body needs) combined with additional protein intake. Protein builds muscle so you would need that. It's found in meat, soy products, cheese, etc but the easiest way to get extra servings of that is from protein shakes and protein bars usually found in sports nutrition stores such as GNC.

I'm pretty sure it works. I have a friend who is a personal trainer and goes to competitions. This is what she does to build muscle.

Yes, there are plenty of women out there who will think you are attractive and the more confidence you have and the more you bring to the table, the more they'll like you.

I think it's easy sometimes to say that if you don't shift closer to the norm, your pool is limited, but the reality is everyone's pool is limited. No one person is completely universally attractive to everyone and at the end of the day you just need one.

Everyone is different and has different tastes. Some women will find you attractive some will not.

Although, I think in general most women want the guy to be larger than them.
