| How Can I Cope With Being Tall And Thin? by Bandirao(op): 1:44am On May 02 |
So this is me, a 21 year old, I am 185cm (6.1feets) and very slim. I have this kind of build that can be considered ectormorphic putting on weight is very hard for me. I only weight around 66 to 68 kg. I am just simply a twink. People always call me dogo (tall in hausa) even though I am not very tall, I hate it when people call me skinny. I started going to the gym to help matters but I can't continue the diet. I have low appetite with high metabolism. My life is just sad. I am introverted and I don't want to go out I just wish I am short and muscular or even fat, some people are just aggressive towards me for no reason at all and always want to make small thing big and want to engage in a fist fight with me especially shorter guys. In short my life is just sad. I have no girl friend because I think probably no girl will love me. I always live alone and I cope with just being a nerdy and terminally online, but anyway I think probably there are people like me with the same experience with me and I just waft them to share their experiences and give me advice so I can feel related.

Bandirao:you on the right track..... You have described my build when I was 19 years old I too was uncomfortable with my build up to the point that I was bullied and beaten by someone I called a friend, by the next week I put up a cutout of the incredible hulk from marvel comics on my room wall and hit the gym like it was food, I took blood tonic and multivitamin capsules worked out 2 hrs twice daily and 5 times a week the appetite for food found its way to me I would eat large meals and even wake up at night to feed and in 6 months I became close to the Hulk, I never fell sick and became a power broker in my uni. Just hit the gym hard u will change to your taste I did it and you can too, don't start with heavy lifts do more reps and get into the flow 36 Likes 3 Shares |

Na wa oo. This life no fit balance. Short people are insecure because they think girls love tall guys and tall guys are insecure for what I can’t even explain. Well, I’ll advise since you have low appetite or probably low stomach, don’t try to over feed in a spot. Divide your 3 square meal into 6 smaller portions. Don’t drink water before and while eating only after 30 minutes of eating. You can also gain weight without heavy but nourishing food. Milk, eggs and Akara for breakfast, then by 10 am you can chew groundnut with any light meal or even bread. For lunch, you can take pap or custard and moimoi with lots of milk and 2-3pm, bread and egg. For dinner then you can go a little heavy, you can take rice and beans (always add protein and vegetable oil with some pumpkin leaves.) To gain weight in this tinubulation, you must budget 200k - 300k monthly. Remember you’ll be taking fruits during this intervals. Avoid drugs like apetamine and co. They’ll slow your metabolism. Eat right and with a little exercise, you’ll bulk up. Also work on your self esteem because your main purpose of bulking up shouldn’t be for women but to improve yourself. Talk to girls in your circle and start from the ugliest one. Keep that up and you’ll be laughing with the hottest girl in no time. 21 Likes |

Nephew, you need to relax! Men age well. You will be fine as hell once you enter your 30s. Get your bloods checked for vitamin deficiencies which may be related to your loss of appetite and then take your supplements and train 3/4 days a week for 45 minutes a day. Your appetite will increase once you workout often because your body will compensate for the energy expenditure. Life is easy. People’s opinion of you is NOT your business. Focus on your health and the body will follow. 12 Likes |

This one really is a twenty-one year old. It’s obvious in the write-up. You can wait for seven years when real confidence will come naturally or you can travel out of your locale to see how life is elsewhere. I will not give you advice on how to add bulk because you will not take it. Gone are the days when Nairaland children wasted my time with such threads. 10 Likes |

Tall and very slim don't make sense. Forget about what you hear on social media about women liking tall slim guys. There's how slim a man will be, he looks weak or lazy. If you don't have athletic or muscular stature as a man, you won't look attractive. @ op, to gain body is not that hard. You don't need to go gym house. Just start consistence push-up daily. After 3 - 4 months you will see the result clear. 5 Likes |

Was tall and though not slim, lean and mean. Started boxing and martial arts at 7 (continued for like 2 decades) so... Fights on basketball 🏀 court always ended badly for the opposition. But martial arts really helps with your temper. Don't worry you will add weight later. Eat suya + chicken steadily. You will balloon in no time |

I have same build, over six feet tall but lanky and weigh less and it bothered me for a while, now I have accepted it and it's a flex knowing I eat what I want without consequences, I never get fat, I just live in my skin peacefully, chase money and shut people's opinion out. 8 Likes 1 Share |

You can cope, just have high self esteem. When the internet started, many people ignored it. Today, it has created millionaires and changed lives. Now AI is here, and history is quietly repeating itself. Some people are already using it to create content, handle customer messages, generate marketing ideas, automate tasks, and even run parts of their business. The difference between those who benefit and those who regret later is simple: early action. You don’t have to master everything at once — just start learning and understanding it. I’ve been looking at how this plays out in real business situations, from simple content to customer engagement, and it’s quite interesting.

@OP You have plenty of life left to live, enjoy your stature now as most people will not have it forever and when gone you will wonder what you complained about. Take the advice of many of us who have gone through this stage, enjoy it while it lasts! 2 Likes |

..l started going to the gym but l can continue with the diet...l didn't get what you wrote there,bro.You already have a physique to build and develop muscles.You don't have much fat which makes it easy to build muscles.Make going to a gym your lifestyle and you would definitely see some changes.You can also train at home if you can't afford it or prefer home training.Try do some push ups and you would begin seeing results.Consitent training would get you a defined arms,bigger chest, broader shoulders, better posture and overall healthy appearance.Just be consistent and your looks and your height would attract women.Most guys wouldn't want to mess with you. 1 Like |

Bandirao:Your biggest problem now is that you chose to stop going to the gym… that is probably where you’ll get your biggest results from.. I was 6’5 when I was your age and didn’t weigh much more than you so I was in the exact same position as you are now, only taller! Let’s just say that today, if I want to go on stage for a bodybuilding competition like the Arnold’s classic or Mr Olympia, I’ll stand a chance… so, return to the damn gym sir! 3 Likes |
