Is it normal to wonder how skinny girls think of me?

To start off, I am of average weight. I am female, 5'5" 132 lbs. with a 28 inch waist line

But I know that I am not "skinny". I am average. I have meat on my bones and the like. But when I see really skinny girls who have about as much body fat in their entire body as I do in my right thigh I wonder...

How do those skinny girls see me? Do they see me as just another lard-ass, do they look down on me for not having achieved the level of fatlessness that they are at or do they view me as reasonably thin like the rest of my fat-composed average weight comrades?

Am I the only person of my body type that wonders if skinny people perceive me to be a lard composed lazy-ass the way many people of average weight (sadly enough) view fat people? Do they consider me to have no self-control or discipline the way very fat people are viewed or does my small but noticeable amount of fat not even register on their perceptive radars?

Is it normal to wonder how really skinny girls see me?

    You are a perfect weight for your height. Don't compare yourself or worry about what other girls think, you're exactly where you should be. Being under weight can be very damaging to your health. Don't change anything at all.

    Yours truly,

      Steinmann?

      I've been meaning to get some plastic surgery done, and I've heard you're the best. Think you can help me in the symmetry department?

    Well, I'm a skinny girl ( 5 foot 1 and 100 pounds) and when I see a girl your size, or even a big girl for that matter, it doesn't mean anything to me. I honestly don't care how big or small someone is or what they look like. Unless someone points it out, or are obviously having self esteem about their weight, I don't even take notice. Now, I will admit, when someone is morbidly obese, it's hard not to notice that, but I think I speak for anyone who is not blind when I say that; big and small. And when I see those morbidly obese people, I think of how unhealthy they are rather than what they look like.

    Anyway, I don't think you should worry about what people think of you and how you look. You look like you and that makes you unique and beautiful. Why does it matter what skinny girls or what anyone thinks? Live your life and be happy with yourself. I always say, there is so much more to life then beauty and physical appearence.

      I'm actually more attracted to women who are willowy and thin, so, uh, I do.

        People who are too thin are attractive. This go’s for boys and women. It so cute when it feels like you can brake them in half. I dated a Koreon that was way to thin and lanky and they were so adorable!

        That's funny cuz you appear from your other comments to be both female and straight.

          I can see why you'd think that, since I've posted my ex boyfriends and my fiancé. I'm not straight, though. I'm female and bisexual. I'm marrying a man, but I'm still attracted to women, too, and my bisexuality is still part of my identity. My fiancé and I have pretty similar similar tastes in women (though I'm attracted to thinner women than he is) and we crush on ladies together, sometimes. I hope that clears things up.

      That is pretty presumptive. I am a twig and my boyfriend wants me.

    A friend of mine is a model.

    She is ridiculously skinny and looks great in her photos, but when we hang out I'm actually a bit disgusted at how skinny she is.

    When she first started my god was she beautifully proportionate, but ever since she joined an agency she looks fragile and now she tells me they want her to lose MORE weight! She drew the line, thankfully.

    I don't know who the hell is making the rules on what guys "want", but I don't subscribe to what I'm being TOLD is beautiful and honestly, neither should anyone else.

    You sound like someone I would consider proportionately perfect and you should feel comfortable with your body.

    As a 92 lbs. woman, I would probably not think much of you as it sounds like you are healthy/normal, BUT if I did think of you, I would be jealous of your ideal weight figure and how easy it would be to look attractive/buy clothes that fix.

  • You are a skinny girl, don't kid yourself just because there are some who are smaller.

    In all honesty, they are probably too wrapped up in their own self image to give yours a second thought. They aren't thinking about you at all.

    Oh don't be silly. Keep in mind that you are smaller than more people than youre bigger than. And some super skinny people wish they weren't so skinny.

    I was 30 pounds under weight at one point. I use to be too thin.

    I used to be very thin. I would always be very jealous of girls who were average weight and had nice, shapely legs.

  • UhhhOK

    I'm way skinny. Well I gained some weight since I'm prego. But before you can't really find any pants, and it sucks. The only ones that really fit are too expensive. I was 88 pounds and 17 yrs old LOL.

    Some skinny really thin girl was looking at me the other day and blatantly told me she wishes she wad curvier, saying she felt like a boy and not feminine at all, which was something to me since I always thought these girls somehow had high esteem for their appearance. Things can be deceiving!

    I'm like you also, though slightly varied: 5`4 122 lbs or so but I have curves that's something I cannot get rid of no matter how hard I workout. There's no shame in that, and really, you sound pretty attractive :-)

    I know many skinny people who never pay attention to weight. I mean, as long as someone isn't hugely obese or whatever..why would they think they ate like a pig? Some people burn calories more easily than others. My thyroid is a little slow, so I have to exercise 2 hours every day to maintain a healthy body weight otherwise I'd be overweight. I don't even eat a lot and exercise loads while my friend who weighs 105 pounds eats like a horse and never exercises. I know I'm healthier than her because she gets sick more often and she is probably killing her body with fast food, so that's all that matters to me. (:

    I don't think you should even care. Some skinny people don't even like being skinny. You'd be surprised how many skinny woman want a thin/normal figure!!

  • Well, when I see a girl who's bigger than I am I usually think she looks good and wish I could look that good in that dress. Haha! I usually say to myself, "I want to look fabulous like that!" =.O

    However, I've had the same thought as you about really skinny girls. I'm sure some of them think they're better than you, others might be jealous and the rest don't think about it.

  • I think about this too... for instance I know when I look at myself, I'm fairly average just with some extra plumpness in a few bits. But because of my heavier frame, my BMI says I'm overweight/obese. I don't pay any attention to it, I just monitor what I eat and appreciate my body for what it is.

    But yes I do often wonder, do really thin girls think I'm gigantic? I'm a size 16, 5'4" or so and even if I was to turn anorexic I'd never get tiny.

    I guess i'm what you would call a super-skinny-girl. I must say taht sometimes I say "wow this girl is fat" and other people will just say "Well they're not fat. they're not thin at all but they are kind of average" and i will agree with them.
