I think it's worse to be thin. People look at you like you're not really a guy if you're too thin. I eat just as much as anyone, yet people think I'm anorexic or something.

Then again I've never been fat so I don't know what life is like for them...

at least you'd be healthier :?

But, there's nothing wrong w/being thin...as long as you eat normally, it's fine.

I'm pretty slim, but it's because I have a fast metabolism and I'm physically active.

And personally, I'd say that beats overating, with a slow metabolism and sitting or being unactive. :?

But I guess it's different w/girls? :?

Yes guys want thin girls. They will even accept overly thin.

But girls don't want overly thin guys

Being overly thin can be just as unhealthy as being overly fat, so health issues asside, I think people who are too thin will have a better perception of themselves and be perceived better by others in general than people who are too fat.

I hate being thin.  I eat twice what everyone else does, and yet I'm still only 150 lbs.

Exactly. I have a fat guy friend and I eats 3 times as much as him....and I don't understand why I'm nowhere near him.

it's really creepy seeing pictures of anorexic people.

I seriously cannot fathom why'd people intentionally starve themselves :(

I'd say fat is worse, but of course, it depends on "how fat" versus "how thin." In terms of deviation from the average, boys who think they're 'really skinny' often seem closer to the average than a lot of exessively fat guys - there's a limit to skinny you can get, but if there's a limit to how fat you can get, I haven't seen it. :D

And in terms of girls, I'm sure a lot of it is the girl's personal preference - but I'd definitely say skinny is AT LEAST equal to overweight... and I'm not just saying that because I'm skinny :P

Too fat is way worse.

First you have breasts, your joints will get worn out quicker, you can't eat what you want and will have difficulty doing the things that you enjoy if you were previously skinny. Being obese may cause conditions that will plague you throughout your life (diabetes for example)....

At least if you're skinny, you can eat pretty much what you want and maintain a healthy weight, some girls will be more interested in you than if you were fat, your body will be healthier as will your heart, as the cardiovascular fat buildup may be less, etc.

So there's drawbacks to both. Skinny sounds better though, as if you get to the point where you are at a healthy weight, the damage done by being too thin would pale in comparison to being obese.

Too fat. I'm on the verge of being too thin, today I had meat, but I'll probably go back to whole fruit and crackers. I don't eat much at all, I have a high body fat percentage because I lack exercise, so I come off as chubby when I'm average weight. However, I know it's not healthy, I just feel better, for some reason. I might get a disease some time though, oh well. I don't get enough nutrients.

Probably too thin because you can always just eat more. If you are too fat then I would assume you would have to start exercising then cut your bad eating habits which is supposudly hard (70% of America is obese). I never had either problem. I am thin and I have a high metabolism so when I eat I dont really have to worry too much. Plus I exercise.

Well all around it IS more un-healthy to be Anorexic in both the short term and long term, and it is harder for a Anorexic person to recover than a Overly Obese person...bot are bad though. In reference to girls, most of the girls I know have said that they prefer "big guys" who are not fat and not skinny...its pretty tough being a guy sometimes when it comes to the opposite sex :P

Yeah you know when you're pretty slim when people around you think you are anorexic. I'm like: "It's my metabolism!"
