Being skinny is a good thing.... Usually the "athletic build" type guys in high school and early/mid 20's get fat and disgusting by the time they hit 30. While the skinny/geeky guys age much much better. The advantage the skinny guys have is that it really doesnt take much for them to bulk up and become lean. While the once athletic guys who dropped the football for the remote control have to try much much hader to get back into shape again because all that muscle has turned into blubber.

My God I've seen some major generalisations at this site. But congrats I think you just got first prize.
Being fit and muscular is one thing that is within each persons control and age is a great equalizer. Guys\gals in their 20's with good genes can do little and still look better than another guy\gal that exercises. By the time 30's and 40's etc. start to roll around the people who are in shape start to be more attractive.
There's really no such thing as Big Boned, but anyway people with strong muscular structure as myself work hard at it. It's a lifestyle, while people are at the bars we are hitting the gym. When everyone is eating fast food for lunch and eating donuts in the Am we are eating chicken breats and Brocolli. It's hard work and dedication.
Steroids don't make a person muscular by themselves, it takes training, good eating habits, and good sleeping habits to work.
Anyone on here can obtain that goal if they wish, they just have to put the time in but most like to take the easy route and say I was nbot born this way, or I have bad genetics.
BTW I am almost 33 and probably more athletic than most kids in their teens to 20's. Not trying to brag, but to prove a point that it can be done.

PS. My genetics suck
Hear, hear agree with all that....unless you have a bone degenerate disorder and don't have long to live, or some other extreme and equally rare condition....there is actually little difference in actual adult male bone size.

These impressive men have chins, elbows, and forarms twice the size of mine. My bones are small and brittle.

It's more along the lines of bone structure, high cheekbones, long jawline, or what you would call chiseled features. I don't have any of that..lol
Forearms look big due to muscles as well as elbows.
Not everyone is built the same, so I know what you mean. but the term "big boned" really isn't true.
Now small and brittle is a different issue all in itself, perhaps lack of calcium, or you're just getting older where our wonderful bodies start to deteriorate. In any case as dave nz pointed out above a lil training will go a long way.

I don't know if the term is correct in it's usual meaning, but I do fit the description. Even when far younger and fully healthy weight the average person would be hard pressed to get their hand around my forearm. And I don't mean because I was working out at the time.
That's pretty much passed on from my mother's end. I am working out now, painful as it is, and as boring as it is. Only started again a couple of days ago, and it's still a new experience in "ow" just to try and brush my hair at this time.

Muscle cannot turn into blubber. It is biologically impossible, as is the reverse.
