To the countless women who've told me "I wish I was skinny", "I hate my body", or "I really need to lose weight". If I had a pound for every time you said that, you'd be skinny by now.

I'm a skinny guy and I really wish I was chubby, I've spent my entire life feeling self-conscious about how skinny I am. I've been called a skeleton, a twig, a rake, and everything else. When I got my first car I was called "matchstick in a matchbox". I've always accepted that I'm skinny and I've never been into exercise, but it just seems women don't or can't.<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>I'm not saying this to make you feel bad, but I've heard that phrase so, so countless times from women. I'm convinced at this point most women would rather be skinny than chubby. Outside of myself I've only ever met one guy who has told me that he wishes he was fat/chubby, and that was because he had cancer and lost a lot of weight.
