    As a fat man who lifts (sporadically) and has lost only 30 lbs since starting weight loss this quarter:

    Hell yeah, I’d take my body over his any day of the week. I’m still far from my ideal weight, but even in my current state I feel more comfortable with my body than I would as a stick figure.

      I like the way I look now, I’m fine with being a stick figure. As I mentioned in the OP, I don’t even lift, but I seriously should start doing situps and pushups

        Everyone’s of course free to look however they feel like, but IMO stick figures don’t look very healthy, regardless of which gender we’re talking about. That doesn’t mean I think everyone should be obese of course. That’s even worse for you and doesn’t look great either. But there’s a very wide middle ground from only slightly underweight to technically overweight that looks pretty good on most people. But IMO if you’re super skinny, you should try to at least put on SOME muscle mass. Just my opinion of course. I don’t have the perfect body either, far from it. Working on improving it, but I don’t expect to ever look good enough to not need to be funny if you know what I mean lol

      Honestly I can agree with this full heartedly. Like even if I am a-bit chubby atleast I’m not real life stick figure.

      Nah. This looks pretty normal for a dude with a balanced diet who doesn’t do weight training. I think people have just gotten used to people being obease that it’s become the new “normal”.
