At that height and weight I would say you could do with gaining a few pounds. Google 'height weight ratios' to find out your ideal weight for a more definitive answer.

According to that BMI calc, you are within the normal weight bracket for your height.

I wouldn't say that you was too skinny, although if you did gain any weight it wouldn't hurt. According to your bmi you are within normal range so I wouldn't worry too much.

Impossible to tell without seeing as it depends on bone mass too, post a pic

Yeah, preferably one with some skimpy underwear and a pouty pose.

For research purposes purely. Of course :rolleyes:

To be honest, it really doesn't matter. As long as your weight isn't going to affect your health, it's all good :smile: It's not as if there is a limit, below which you become unattractive. People come in all shapes and sizes, and if you could only open your eyes, you would see that.

If it appears that your weight makes you unattractive to guys, it is likely that your lack in confidence, caused by this belief, is what's holding you back.

ed. your not too skinny. your not skinny at all. Infact, that's a cute stomach
I'm 5ft too and I wouldn't want to be anything under 8 stone.

Tsk woman, clean your mirror! Id say you're about perfect size that I would look for in a girl. As said before though, a few pounds in the up direction would only give you more curves, which is ultimately a good thing.

Yeh Ive just checked that thanks. I want to put on weight but don't want fat as im trying to keep fit for sports. If I put on weight in the form of muscle it might look horrible, so I don't know.

Woah! Sense of humour failure. The men in white coats will be coming to your house shortly to give you a last ciggy and shoot you.

Ha mate, what is your problem with me?
OP: you look lovely - there's nothing to worry about :smile:

I'd class you as slim, rather than skinny.

You don't need to gain weight, you look nice.
