... over someone's body is kind of silly.

I'm a guy, and I was skinny as hell most of my life, just born that way and hated it.

It took a lot of work to not be, but it seems to me that most of the folks here calling it "unhealthy" and such are just jealous. Like guys who complain about "musclebound" guys. Yeah, you'd like to be musclebound yourself.

A lot of what we look like is what we were genetically born with, I'm not wild about my face either but I don't hate people who hit the genetic jackpot and got a handsome one.

If there was ever a "just get over it" subject, this would be it.
