Is it an insult

[chame1eon]

If you call a guy skinny. I really like skinny guys and want to tell them that, but I'm not sure if they would take it wrong.

I've known nice attractive curvy women who take it personally if someone compliments them 'cause they want to be skinny. I was wondering if it was the same with guys.

If he's been suckling down Weight Gain 5000 for years trying to put on muscle mass it might not be great. Slender is a good word.

I don't think I would take it as an insult if I were particularly skinny. I suppose it has a lot to do with how we want to see ourselves.

Yeah I guess you never know. Its too bad that there are preconceptions about what you are supposed to look like so people can't enjoy the fact that they are curvy and hot or skinny and hot.

 

[SissySalina]

It is like everything else, everyone is different. You never know how someone is going to take it until you do it.
So just do it, if the person does not like it they should say so and you know.
But does it really matter, you could just call everyone "nice looking" an let it go if your worry about it.

I agree that skinny has negative connotations. I prefer Svelte.

I'm usually only called skinny by friends who are overweight - I refrain from pointing that out to them out of respect, and because I believe that there is an element of envy involved.

 

[chame1eon]

I don't know why I like the word skinny. I guess its the wrong one for most though.

Massage the male ego while you're doing it. "You're skinny like Mick Jagger. You must be fighting off the women!"

I am 5'11" 165 lbs.

I'm 56yo, 6'4" tall and now weigh 178lbs. 25 years ago I was the same height but only weighed 150lbs, so I definitely was skinny!
I now say that my weight gain is my "middle age spread".

if he knows you find it hot...how can he not take it as a compliment - well, only if his self image is more important than how you feel about him

... a no brainer for me - i'd love it

Its all down to the choice of words if a large lady went in for a dress, the assistant might say our range for the fuller figure is over there, rather than saying our range for fatter ladies is over there

 

[13Fantasies]

I always get called lean.

 

[blackmohammed]

Personally I like being called Skinny it turns me on and I enjoy hearing women talk about how skinny my body is because it always leads to how long and thick my cock looks, I don't know if it's by comparison but I never asked and I just took it as a complement.

I wasn't always this was however and while I was in High School being skinny was like telling everyone that you couldn't last as long as bigger men or that having muscles showed teen girls that you some how were better at everything. Once in college where everyone was much more accepting of myself and the things I was good at I realized being skinny had some advantages and the Curvy cock hungry women I was attracted to seemed to like the way I looked. It still took a few years of having steady girlfriends and becoming more experienced in what looked good on my body before I truly accepted it but now I'm 28 and I like being SKINNY.

 

[Wild_Honey_66]

I say lean most of the time. Possibly slender, wiry, or trim.

Skinny has definite negative connotations in my mind.

I think it would depend on the context because skinny is associated with small or not enough but if used to describe a part of you that you want to be small or contrast what you want to be big then it's not such a bad thing.

Example:

Skinny dick- would be a negative association, no one wants a skinny dick.

Your skinny waist makes your dick look huge- Possessive association, everyone wants a big dick.

It runs the gamut, really. I'm a relatively lean gentleman myself, but, there are times I wish I had a bit more meat and definition on my bones, but, then again, I feel pretty healthy these days, and that matters a lot more than anything.

And, I realize how old that makes me feel.

I don't know why this makes me smile

Coming out of college I lost a ton of weight and the reactions from my co-workers (mostly middle aged women) were of concern that something was wrong with me. I always felt the need to try and put on weight but found it ridiculously hard to put on anything aside from some lean muscle. I eventually embraced being rather skinny, even though most women I came across were looking for someone bigger.

I'm pretty thin, and I am not offended if someone calls me skinny...

I have no idea either, but I hope you’ll tell me if you figure it out.

 

[curvyangel1969]

I sure hope that they are not offended. I am personally extremely attracted to skinny guys. I'm not sure ive met one too thin yet.

Fighting fit, assuming "skinny" to be fit in a particular case, although it doesn't always follow.

Skinny was not healthy in the AIDS world before effective ARV medication regimes.

It's 2017 so I guess at least one person is offended by everything, which means you can't say it. Apparently if even one person gets pissed off at what you say it's not ok an offensive.

Personally I'm ok with people sometimes getting upset at what I say, and I would love to be called skinny (because I'm not).
