Looking like a pinhead at 140 pounds!

Post Reply New Topic

At my height of 5ft8 my dad commented that I looked like a ‘pinhead’ when I weighed 140-150 pounds 10 years ago.

The fact I looked like a pinhead at 140ish pounds does that mean that weight range was not really natural for me? Currently I weigh 170 pounds and I look broader and more powerful.

A lot of people of normal weight range look like 'pinheads'. You Dad sounds biased in the favour of heavier frames.

What does that even mean? Looking like a pinhead? My brain immediately goes to those hellraiser movies, but I know you don't mean that.

It can mean that a person looks like they have a small head and sometimes a small body alongside that.

Thank you for clarifying. I was lost for a minute there. So it's either a proportion thing or a general comment on 'scrawniness'. Alright.

As to the op, some people seem to they or others look more natural or better or whatever at a certain weight or build. My children are like that. Two of them think they look kinda weird when they are at a lower weight and the other two think they look odd at a heavier weight. Thing is though, people will all have different things to say about what's ideal. Best I have to say about it is to find where you are comfortable and where you feel best and go with that. You have to wake up every day as you. So long as you're healthy, that's what matters.

So if you have a tiny head on a large body you're a pinhead?

I googled "pinhead" and while it does seem to refer to people with disproportionate heads and bodies, the primary / original definition seems to refer to "appearing to be of low intelligence".
