Masculinity

Note: There’s really no point to this. This is just an emotional issue I’ve been dealing for a while and I wanted some sort of output. I have a question at the bottom but it’s purely rhetorical. I’d just appreciate someone reading this.

I’m gonna say it straight forward: I have very little or none. Please don’t misunderstand this and think I’m gay. I’m straight and proud. However, I have none of the features that a typical masculine male should have (in other words, all the features girls dream of).

I daresay I’m more feministic even. This may or may not sound narcissistic, but I think my X and Y chromosomes must have switched because (Aside from the two most OBVIOUS differences between a male and a female) I have a body of a female. Again, at this point, I’d like to mention I’m straight.

I don’t have broad shoulders and I’m skinny and I weigh 95 pounds. This isn’t because I don’t work out or because I don’t eat a lot. I’m just genetically like this. In fact, no matter how much push ups I do in my life, I’ll probably never gain any real significant change to my body. I’ve probably consumed more fast food then all my friends combined.

Question is this: What the hell am I suppose to do…..? Changing my sexual preference is out of the question. No girl will ever want a guy like me (I mean, even the chess team members are more muscular then me) and I think it’s so bad that it’s beyond teasing to the point of pitying. Well at any rate, if you read this I really appreciate it.

Not everyone feels the need to act in a masculine manner. Don’t worry about it.

I did think that the question was a little strange. Oh well. :-)

I really appreciate the support guys but I want you to give me a complete honest answer to this question I’m about to ask; Would you rather date a skinny guy who probably couldn’t even lift half his weight or the captain of the all-star football (or w/e) team who can probably lift a ton?

I don’t wanna make accusations but chances are it’ll be the latter of the two choices.

dude i swear, the honest to god truth is i’d take the skinny guy if both had equally good personalities. I think societies view on the ideal man is pretty much BS. Besides im not really into sports lol. All that football talk would bore me

You seem like a smart guy and you should know that looks aren’t everything.
Highlight and bring out the good qualities you do have.
Looks are not at the top of every girl’s list.

5′8″ at 95 pounds is not a lot..but I think if you really tried you could gain!
I went from 125 to 135 this summer just by eating 6 or 7 medium sized meals a day and working out a little. All I’m saying is that you can change your body if you really work at it.
