I don't usually like skinny. But you know body isn't everything. I am sucked by a great smile, no matter the body type. Smile, be friendly, you'll be fine.

As you age, eventually you will put on 'some' weight. Might he 3 years, as many guys do, might be 10-15 years, as it was for me. Although I am not nearly your height, I have always been considered skinny. I went 3-4 years, during my 21-25 years old phase where I was eating at least 3000 calories a day. I got up to 170 once, then coinsedenselly, I got food poisonin and couldnt get past 160 for many many years. (I now weigh 'only' 170 on a good day)
I also tried really hard to lift weights and gain muscle during my high calorie days. I was in great shape, but no matter what, I couldn't bulk up. My work out partner ended up getting huge, and we did the same routine. He was baffled as to how I plateoud in the gym, and couldnt get 'big'.
Most people dont understand what it is like to be 'skinny'. They all say the same thing 'awe, poor you, i would trade you my fat for your skinny anytime.'
But, guys give each other a lot of flack, and being skinny in todays world is not considered as manly as no being skinny.
that being said, you are what you are. Try to enjoy life, and be at peace that you don't have to bust your ass to keep weight off. The woman will appreciate you being fit. Of course, honestly, some woman love BIG muscles, but there are millions of other woman that will like you.
Do what the others say, have fun, be yourself, and be funny. The physical part is what it is, and you have the least control over that.
You can control your confidense and personnality though.

Putting on muscles to attract women isn't for me. I'll only do as much to keep in shape, don't even wanna look like the Hulk.

I don't favor lanky. But your a cute guy, and you should do fine.

(Just a reminder, it's not like in the US all the women get together and place a vote and what we are liking for the current year)

You have a smile that lights up the room, OP. And there's nothing left to tone, you're already there. So what's the problem? It's all in your head. Get on with your life.

Now I'm back in the states and i see a bunch of walking meat heads everywhere so I'm thinking of becoming one as well to please the ladies

I've tried eating 4000 calories a day but that doesn't help at all

I've also tried the mcdonalds diet, like going there for bfeast lunch dinner etc.. didn't work i still woke up the next morning with literally no stomach fat whatsoever...

so yeah in terms of relationships (since i gotta be on topic and all) i gotta say that being this skinny in this country is pretty much a disadvantage since it seems to me like everyone goes to the gym and lifts weights and does all that ****.. like trying to imitate american football players

so my questions is do women like tall skinny men in this country or is it better to adapt to increase your chances?

first post btw
Well, 35-year old pizza-loving "milfs" don't seem to have any problem with skinny guys, apparently.

The OP isn't skinny. He has a good amount of muscle. I'm not sure why he's even posting. Maybe he has body dysmorphic disorder, where he perceives his body as never good enough, no matter how buff it gets. It happens to guys as well as women.
