Anyone else feel shit and pointless for not being fucking skinny as fuck? The only light on the horizon is these cunts will have faces like John Hurt - the cnacer years when they're about 39 - and good too. Why oh why is it somehow wrong to be a) not 3 stone and b) over 5ft 3??

Yeah its a rant but whoooo cares, it just words entered electronically

I wish I didn't have a beer belly

Does that count?


Nah

I'm all about the broad shouldered powerful upper body look.


It worries me that there's some weird obsession

with thin small people - probably the ugly people behind the scenes acting out skinny boy fantasies? Who cares but really does this hold back a lot of bands/people who lose all confidence because they don't look/feel right and don't fit the accumed model.

And please don't say 'Beth Ditto'/Tiny Woods, because that just a burlesque extreme - the new court jester range

LOOOOL


no

i'm happy looking as if i'm on the border between recommended weight and overweight, and i am too


Im very thin

its not something people can help

you should try walking a mile in my shoes but your porky feet probably wouldnt fit

to sum up: who cares man, you're not female, nobody gives a shit and you shouldn't either


^ That's where youre wrong

you dohn't think skinny boys are part of some agenda the same way that girls with massive baps are?


im pretty sure im not part of an agenda

and unless youre trying to be a model/t4 presenter it should fuck all baring on your life


baring? bearing?

grizzly?


Erm

have you not seen every band to get signed over the last 46 years?


if you want to get on telly it matters

if you want to get signed to a major it matters

if you are playing the same generic indie as everyone else it matters

but why would you?


Papa Roach?

Limp Bizkit?
Fieldy?
Alien Ant Farm?


meatloaf?

was frank black fat when he was in the pixies?


David Thomas of Pere Ubu

was a bit of a chubber

Also, huskier gentlemen are actively encouraged in country music. And hip-hop too, a bit.


yep this is the other one i was going to say!

david thomas, but i wanted to cover the past 20 years rather than 30 or 40 when it was probs okay to be bigger


True - doesn't really bother anyone that Solomon Burke can barely stand up anymore, either

just mould into that massive throne. What a life!


oh and

have^^


I'm just going to lean rakishly against this lamppost

and smoke a jazz cigarette in a holder while I wait for the inevitably hilarious posts from defensive fat men in this thread


^ John Hurt

I'm not fat I'm just broad shouldered and have always felt that you get weirdly overlooked by people looking for musical version of gimp-esque music jockeys, like being 'slight' means your somehow better. I'm sure skinny people probably have tiny penises anyway.


Who needs a big penis when you're wearing

jeans as white and tight as these?


Well,

I'm really fat and I have a tiny penis.

Probs why I'm super lonely. COOL.


Defensive fat men

Where do they get off anyway?


Unfortunately for them

generally down a brothel


Yeah, yeah of course

no thin men to be seen looking furtive ever then.

Never trust a man with no arse.


True

To rephrase: only trust a man with fat buttocks


I'm sure thin

but don't look right... maybe I should stop carrying around this pig's head on a stick.. BUT IT'S SO METAL


Oh you

x


WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TAKE THIS GUY

DOWN A PEG?!


I know!

I've been trying to hang up my washing in the cellar for ages now.


OVER 30

blahrcade fire


blahrcade fire

LOL


im tall and thin

which is pretty cool


I can't help being skinny

i just seem to lose weight for no reason at all, it grinds my gears a bit. i think it's genetic though. When my dad was my age he had a 28 inch waist size. WTF? I'm a 30inch just. It'll hit me at 35 as it did my father.


it's wrong to be over 5ft3?

says what ideal? How come I can't be a model/air hostess/reach things on tall shelves then?


I don't know any ladies over the age of 20

who like skinny men. Give me a stockily built bloke with slight belly issues any day of the week!


I don't know these ladies either

I actually go to the gym twice a week so I can perv stockily built types


since I've started living healthily

I've discovered that whatever Heat magazine want to tell you, it is not actually possible to live a healthy lifestyle and maintain an underweight BMI.

I feel abit unattractive with chunky runners calves, but I have decided I like running too much to care.


i like being non-skinny

clothes look much better on skinny people :( but i look better without clothes

*abandon reply*

nah obv i want people to read this.


I'm skinny.

But I think it's cos I have 'issues'. Please don't hate me. *has more 'issues'*
