why do some of you think all it takes to have a good body is not being overweight?

It's about frame. I'm 5'10 and 210 and I still look good. I have a bit of a tummy and my ass is a bit phatter than it was when I was 175. But I look masculine and manly, and have good muscle tone.

Being a 130 pound twig as a man is tragic

Why do you post such nonsense op?

and the lack of capital letters gives you away every time.

5'10 and 210lbs is FAT! you DO NOT look good!

Lose the multiple question marks, OP. You’re neurotic.

Because it is.

R1 being 130lbs isn’t tragic if it’s healthy. You should drop the judgement, along with 20lbs, considering your shorter stature.

You have a point, but I don't think it's a point that many people would disagree with.

Well if you've ever been fat you know how hard it is to turn that into a hard "good" body. It's easier for people who start out thin and build muscle. When you've been overweight there are areas of fat deposits on your body that you may NEVER get rid of, outside of surgically having it removed.

Its even worse when you have a smaller frame. I think of Kelly Ripa who was never hugely overweight, but she is a tiny lady. I know she had stubborn fat on her body at some point and the only way to keep it off is her insanely strict diet and workout regiment.

Because guys that are not overweight are relatively uncommon, so any guy that isnt, is going to look good compared to the rest, even if he isnt toned or muscular.

Rarity and desirability. Its that simple. Yes, a guy that is toned/ muscular AND not overweight will look even better, but they're even less common. I will quite happily settle for guys that are not overweight and be grateful for it, and I am reasonably toned myself from doing a fair bit of exercise. And if I have the good fortune to get a 130 pound twig I'll be even happier
