Women notice you more when you're lean.
(Something I noticed a half lifetime ago, when I got myself down to high school weight. Kept it there for a few years, too. I can pinpoint exactly when and why that changed, but that's another story, involving more stress than I care to remember.)
I could have written that, word for word.
I remember once wanting to cut a piece of thickish sheet steel on a foot-pedal cutter and another guy, watching me jump on the pedal, came over and offered to jump on it with me, saying "Us skinny guys got to stick together." One, two three, jump, cut made, no harm to the machine, just that my lonesome 155b wouldn't work.
"Us skinny guys got to stick together." Skinny.
