I am a 23 year old Male. 6 foot 2 inches in height. 120-125 pounds.

I've been a slim build for my whole life. It bothers me because I lake self confidence when it comes to women and other social relationships. I can say that I've been getting better in that sense in the last couple of years.

Everytime I go to the Dr's office, they always say I am a healthy young adult. Nobody seems to think that I have an ED...but 120 pounds! No matter how much I eat, or what I eat seems to change anything.

I eat a good lunch, and a good dinner every day except for weekends when I may be out and about for extended periods of time.

I know I don't have anorexia because I know that I am skinny. I know that my weight could be potentialy dangerous. I do not think I am fat at all.

I could live the rest of my life in my skinny body, but I wonder if it is safe? I don't know what to do anymore. Do I have a fast metabolism? And if so, are there drugs that can reduce my rate of metabolism?

Thanks.

If you're eating enough for your doctor to tell you you're healthy and you have a realistic body image, then don't worry about it. Even though you're quite underweight, you're otherwise healthy. It's not potentialy dangerous. I don't know if you have a fast metabolism, or if there's anything to slow it down, but if you'd like to gain some weight, the best way to do it would be to start weight training. Learn what nutrients help with muscle gain like proteins, good fats, amino acids, etc.. Muscle weighs more than fat. If you start a weight training program, your appetite will increase as well. If you're not interested in weight training, just give it time. You're very tall and it might take a while for the weight to catch up.

At a company where I used to work, there was a man who was 50 something who worked out a lot and he was very muscular, but his 20 something son who worked there too looked like a bean pole. Extremely skinny. I saw a picture of the dad when he was his son's age, and they could've been twins. The last time I saw them, his son had decided to train at the gym with his dad. That was almost 2 years ago. I haven't seen him, but I'm betting he's put on some weight and muscle by now.
