My husband and I had a discussion last night, he says he wants for me to weigh 140-160 lbs ( currently I am 95 lbs) . Is this to get me to gain more weight or do men actually not care for "skinny"?

Hi,
Have you always been thin? 95 sure is thin, and 140-160 is a huge JUMP from 95. How tall are you???????
From my experience men don't like super duper skinny. Depends on guy!0 -

95lb at 5ft6 is very very slim... i am 5ft5 and 136lbs, i would look dead if i lost 40lbs.0

Uh..I think you might be the one with the problem. 95 pounds is MINIATURE, especially for 5'6. I'm 5'5.5 and my most comfortable weight is around 130-135. Do you know your BF%? Maybe you need to check with a doctor to figure out what's healthiest for you.0

Wow, 95lbs at 5'6" is severely underweight, like scary. 120-140 would be "normal"0 -
95 at 5'6 is a lot underweight...0

Yeah I was just a staring to fall in the overweight category when we were getting married at 160 and I am 5'6 lol
160 at 5'6 is barely overweight, you are right but 95 pounds at that height is VERY underweight.0 -

You are you... do what makes you happy.
I have had relationships with 'skinny' women and larger women. There are differences between the two but the only difference that really mattered was how they felt, as their feelings were reflected in their everyday personality.
If you are happy, your husband should respect that.
Have a nice day.0 -
If those figures are correct and your 5'6 and 95 pounds your husband is right and you need help. You are unhealthily under weight with a BMI of 15. Listen to your Husband and go and get some professional help0

I agree with the rest of the posters - 95lbs is too thin! It's about healthy, not skinny. Good luck to you :flowerforyou:0

You sound very underweight. I'd strongly recommend talking to your doctor / nutritionist and consider gaining weight in a healthy way and consider building some muscle. You'll look and feel good.0

I am 5'5" and weigh 115 and have been told all kinds of things e.g., I'm too thin, skeletal, anorexic, sick, etc. My husband would also like me to put 10 or 15 pounds back on. Bottom line is I have done this for me and not for anyone else. I don't really give a crap what anyone thinks of me... I like what I see when I look in the mirror and that's what counts.
If you have to ask... than maybe you're doubting that you look good at your height and weight.
I know that my body looks and feels the best between 115 and 120. Any lower than 115 and I look and feel sick.0 -

I'm 5"6. Per BMI, our healthy weight range is 124.9-154.9, I beleive. The smallest Ive ever been is 164lbs with BF% of 28, in my military days.
95lbs :noway:0 -
Yes, I agree with others above. 95 is way too thin for your height. You may have gotten a bit carried away with the dieting. How about splitting the difference and shoot for around 130-135?0

Your husband is worried because you definitely have an eating disorder. You're SEVERELY underweight. You need to see a doctor ASAP, and preferably get into some sort of program for eating disorders.0
