What height and weight qualifies you as skinny?

Looking to find the generally held opinion on when someone is skinny.

What height and weight?

Example: I'm 5' 10.5" and weigh 160 lbs, (EDIT: with an average frame size) (and around 10% body fat percentage) Am I skinny?

For fun, you could also throw your height and weight into the mix.

EDIT: It seems like a lot of people are answering this question from a medical point of view, and that's not what I'm looking for. I'm using "skinny" as the word that describes the unattractive trait.

Also, a lot of people are saying it depends on frame size. Let's assume that for our skinny-or-not equation that we're dealing with a person of average frame size.

Height and weight don't (within reason). Build does. People have different sized frames.

I'm just looking for a general range of when someone's skinny. We don't need to get too technical.

5' 8.5'' and 140 pounds. I wish I could tell you it was muscle.

I'm 5'11 and weigh 174lbs, and I'm considered not even 'relatively' skinny, yet I'm told I look thinner than I should.

It depends on frame and people's perceptions.

Naww I'm goin' on a diet. :D

Look in a mirror, your skinny, normal, a little bigger, or big. I think normal, a little bigger chicks are hot. Thats just me =P

This thread makes me feel bad about myself. I'm 6'2'' and only 155lbs :o

[QUOTE="twitchmonkey399"][QUOTE="EMOEVOLUTION"] you are in fact skinny.. a healthy male body fat % goes all the way up to 19% for malesEMOEVOLUTION

Depends on your stature (are you a big person or are you relatively tiny?).Famiking

I hope this chart helps.

Find the point where your height and weight intersect.

I'm 110 lbs... I wonder where all my fat goes >_> I eat and eat and nothing.

You're not fat btw.

I'm good then. :D

According to my height and weight, it sounds like I'd be skinny. But I'm not. I'm all mush and fat so I don't weigh as much as I would if I had more muscle and was actually skinnier. Hence I don't think any specific height and weight indicate skinny-ness.

I hope this chart helps.

Check my edited OP. That's a nice graph for what it's for, though.

You're tall. You probably play basketball.

I think BMI of around 17 is skinny. For instance, I'm 5'11" and 125 lb and consider myself skinny. I also know a 6'0 guy who's around 130 lb. He looks skinnier than me! Mr_Cumberdale

You guys are lucky I'm 5' 5" 105 pounds with like less than 3% body fat

It really depends on your build

I knew a guy that was 6'5'' and 180 pounds and he was awful skinny.

my general rule is this:

when a man weighs as much as a healthy female, he is too skinny

when a woman weighs under 100 pounds, she is skinny

it doesnt apply is a lot of cases, but so far its the most accurate

I'm 6'3" and I weigh 138 pounds. I think my body fat percentage is around 8%
