In the male world, it's 'bad' bc your fellow men may view you as weak/physically inferior. Men tend to judge ppl based on physical prowess. WOMEN tho- don't really care. Plenty of women adore skinny guys. Some don't. It's personal preference. I personally don't like skinny guys, but I'm def in the minority. I'm one of the only girls I've ever known who doesn't like skinny guys.

To some it serves as a physical sign of lacking strength or confidence

personally, i wouldn't date a man who is smaller than me but that because of my own problems and preferences. otherwise i assume it's because muscle is seen as a masculine thing by society
