[Moooooo]

Understatement of the century.

I think I'm kind of ugly, and I'm slightly overweight (165, for my height of 5'11). I have a somewhat large belly, and big inner thighs, whilst my arms, calves, and toes are very thin. Maybe I lack self confidence or something, maybe it's because I've never had a girlfriend or barely any friends who were girls.

Dude, you think 165 pounds is overweight for a male your height?  That seems pretty underweight.  I think for that height, 170-180 is the ideal weight for most builds.

Thanks, but I still need to loose some weight around my stomach and thighs, and that's about it. I've lost most of my weight on my arms, calves and back, but I have muscle in many of those areas now. My problem is, though, is that my body looks uneven. That's why I'm trying to stomach excersises.

That reminds me, ever since I started doing 200 sit-ups a night, I've built a ton of muscle underneath my belly, but this muscle makes my stomach look big when I bend or contract my stomach muscles. What do you think I can do to loose that layer of fat?

I'm not an expert on exercises, and which ones to do to lose fat in certain places.  You could consult an exercise magazine or something like Men's Health, that runs constant articles on the right exercises to do.

I think, honestly, that if you keep doing what you're doing, it will mostly go away on its own as you physically mature and grow into yourself.

[Max Power]

Okay, thanks! I'll ask J-Mann, too.

[Moooooo]

Honestly, there is no way to naturally 'spot reduce' certain areas.  A nice diet matched with some daily exercise will get rid of that little bulge in no time.  By the way, you are hardly overweight for your height.  Im 5'-11'' 175lbs and I think Im in rather good shape.

[Dr. Cynic]

Max, you said you were fairly overweight at 165 for your height of 5'11.

Max, I am the same height, and I outweigh you by close to 100 pounds.

You are morbidly obese then.

[riceowl]

i think i look ok, but I also think I underestimate myself

So make what you will.

I'm about 6' solid and about 70 lbs heavier than Max, or 25-30 lbs lighter than Irish. I am overweight, but not to th degree Irish is.

How nice of you to point that out <sarcasm of course>.  One must also look at body fat % and for me that's 23%.  Still high, but though I'm 245 pounds which is considered obese, the 23% is pretty bad, but not terrible.  I kinda have the same problem as Max being that most of my weight loves to settle in my stomach and I can see what he's saying, but if he keeps working hard, that will go away as he gets older and should be in good shape.  When I was 5'10", 195-210 in high school, I thought I was in decent shape and could skate as fast as some 140 pound kids though I always had that pesky pouch around my abdomen.  My advice:

Max:  You're doing a good job, keep it up!  Sometimes we all don't have the best genes, but still make the most of it.  You're 15 and have plenty of time to develop muscularly and there is no way in hell I'd consider you overweight.  If you keep on the track you are, avoid the stupid sh**t like excess drinking, you will have an incredible physique by the time you're 17-18- something I only wish I have.

Dr. Cynic:  What will hurt you at 17 with the opposite sex is your weight and I can never deny that, but even worse than that is CONFIDENCE.  I have been turned down many of times solely because of my weight, but I've also seen 300-350 pound men that look even worse than I do with hot 110-130 lb. arm candy for girlfriends.  Back when I was 17, there was a girl who worked in the Floral department of a supermarket I worked at I had a huge crush on, told everyone about, yet I never had the balls to approach her.  I heard a year later she was interested, but if I wasn't such a dumb ass I probably could have got with her.  If you know someone you like,  it- GO FOR HER!  However, what will hurt you more in your 20s is not having career goals, ambition and confidence even 10X more than weight.  There are also women who want perfection themselves with teenage girls wanting tall, dark, ripped, and handsome and golddigging 20-somethings wanting "established, successful" men.  Know what-  FU(K THEM!!  They aren't worth your time, but at the same time keep trying to improve yourself.

Speaking of which I'm going to digest my dinner then off to the gym!

No, really, I think you're an okay looking guy, FWIW

She seems into you!   Dude, I said this last night.  You get turned down NEXT!  Turned down again- NEXT! NEXT! NEXT! NEXT!  Just like plugging away at it like a slot machine.  She looks pretty.  Does she have a boyfriend?

Ummm... she is my FORMER ROOMMATES GIRLFRIEND.  Besides, I (hopefully) have something lined up here, anyway.

[Dr. Cynic]

Brian, confidance really isn't it. I have done my best, and given a good effort each time. I will be 18 approxamately one month from today, and am hoping this year goes better.

As far as ambition, I wasn't voted "Most Likely To Succeed" for nothing. Perhaps if you saw my pic, it would be easier to judge me.... But I can't figure out how to put one up...

Oh, Jake, my morbidly obese frame gets me roles, I'm not complaining about it. .

What? You didn't know that I am an actor and comedian? My frame does give me certain roles when I audition.

Depending on the day, I think I'm ugly to average.  My parents think I'm beautiful, though.

I saw the picture you posted, and you are in no way ugly.  I think you are quite attractive.

Thanks.  I appreciate the compliment and it made my day, but it won't affect my long term self image.  I'll still feel strange looking in the morning.  I think I'm significantly less ugly than when I was in middle school, though.  That's an improvement.

Most women don't like how they look, I think.

True, true... Damned media... lol
