As has been mentioned before - form-fitting clothes.
Sidebar, why do you think the grunge look was "invented"....so fatties would look less fat.
Slovenly yes; but not so fat...visually.
Have you noticed how many fat guys wear a short-sleeve shirt untucked...me (and most of you) cannot pull off that look.
Always wear your shirt tucked in; makes your shoulders look broader...and square.
never tuck in a t-shirt, dawg. That's some nerd shit right there
As everyone is saying, just wear things that fit, man.
Do NOT under any circumstance try to go up a size to make yourself look "bigger" -- it will have the opposite effect, in fact making you look skinnier while making you look like an idiot, as well.
We're lucky (for now, anyway), as slim looks are where it's at. Look around you.
Wait: you must not be a serious distance runner. Clubbing will not make you a better runner. I know many could have been distance runners that f***ed up their talent because they went out clubbing with me. I showed them women, and that was the end of it. Now skinny runner think again, and repent, clubbing is not for you. IT IS NOT FOR YOU![quote]eroro wrote:

Buy blow-up arm muscles. It worked for my favorite yellow sponge.
155 is not fat! Unless you're a girl!
Oh, I guess it does depends on how tall you are.
I'm 6ft & 155...and nearly 40 years old too. I'm okay with my weight!
Just wear briefs. Seems to work well in the clubs these days.

I think beating you real right and good would induce enough swelling to puff your chicken chest out a bit.
There are a couple different breeds of guys at most clubs:
(1) Big & tough. Doesn't dance. Probably in an MMA shirt or polo. Usually doesn't fight but puts off a fighting vibe. Hangs out at the bar as a total sideline character.
(2) Big & friendly. Is cool with everyone because he's got nothing to prove. Will dance to songs such as the cupid shuffle. Knows a lot of girls, gets love, but none will actually sleep with him because he's just too huge.
(3) Medium sized (6'0" and 185 lbs). Good style. Does everything in moderation from dancing to drinking. Gets laid all the time.
(4) Small & tough. Chip on the shoulder. Will try to pick a fight and fights often. Never hooks up but acts like he'd hook up every time if it weren't for that fight he has to get into.
(5) Small & drunk. Super drunk and doesn't care. Plays the crazy guy card which occasionally picks up a desperate woman. Crazy guy dances on bars, spills beers, has ironic tattoos, etc.
(6) Tall guy. Over 6'3". Cleans house at every club regardless of looks... because you can't really see what people look like inside the club. Probably wearing sunglasses. Has no content but it's okay because he's 6'3".
(7) Short & squat guy (5'10", 190lbs). Sports superfan. He came from another bar where he drank to blackout while discussing football games. He's sporting his team polo with a matching hat. His main technique is to form cliques with other sports superfans at the bar.
(8) Out of place runner guy. This had a race earlier in the morning and used that excuse to get blasted at the bar. Now he's at the club wearing dirty running shoes and a digital watch. He's got no shot of hooking up with a club skank but will likely go home and have sex with his sorta hot girlfriend from the cross country team. But, not before she's hit on by every other guy at the club.
what about poppin the collar?
I'm gonna bet you didn't

Right. Style and personality wins everytime. Don't worry about it, I never weighed over 135-40 lbs at 5'11" and married the prettiest girl in college.

Good advice. Just don't wear an under shirt that shows. Looks dumb. Wear one with a v neck and with sleeves that are short.

Nothing says douche like the popped collar!
Just keep your fly open (your skinnniness wont be on their mind then)

nah, trying to show off your chest looks dumb.
I'm skinny like 5'8" 115-117 lbs. skinny, and am either running or taking a shower. I just wear my splits everywhere when it's warm or tights when it's nippy, I've worn this to bars etc., most people end up asking questions or girls stare at your piece so it's great lead in material for conversation. Plus I own only 1 pair of jeans that still look brand spanking new so I don't have many choices. It's about being comfortable, if you look and feel comfortable in what you're wearing then you can pick up a girl almost anywhere if that's what you're trying to accomplish. Plus chicks dig guys that run because they have endurance. And if you're wearing tights or splits around you're already setting yourself apart from the crowd... your statement is like this: I'm healthy I workout a lot I want to be comfortable no matter what and I'm confident, the looking healthy thing is good cause then the girl knows that the chances of you having VD is slim and that you probably take care of yourself. The other thing to consider is your environment, are you looking for a nice degenerate night or a wife? Consider this: Don't hunt for a deer in the desert.
Don't get all trashed either, a girl will be more likely to go home with somebody who is sober when compared to somebody who is drunk.
Oh yeah don't be a wigger either if you dig black women, just be normal and polite, black women like a nice polite guy traditional and respectful unless perhaps your looking for something extremely ghetto. Either way you'll have your world rocked sideways.
If you want to be real cool and you dig black women you can do like I did when I was younger and goto a reggae club, you'll be the only white dude there (I assume you're white because only white people ask questions like yours) but if you mind your p's and q's and don't try to act like something you're not then you'll take a fine women home with you. I did.
Things get tricky sometimes with white women they like to play games and crap so if you get trashed you might go home with a girl thinking your going to get laid and then you get there and your better judgement kicks in and you have to be a nice guy and put the drunken girl to bed and either sleep on the couch or leave, I'd leave otherwise you might end up in a relationship, and trust me dude white girls who like to club ain't nothing but problems in the long run.
One last thing make sure your workout cloths don't smell like balls... just more common sense.
Oh yeah where ever you go it's best to GO BY YOURSELF (especially if you go to a reggae club), trust me on that, you might have to have some extra confidence but you'll grow into it, and remember confidence is not cockiness.
The other thing is this men and women get along better when their is no threat of sex. Men and women get along better when their is no threat of sex. So if your at a bar and their are places to sit don't act all suave and stuff most chicks see straight through that and will find some excuse to leave. If you find some girl to sit by who is alone make sure you ask if you can sit down so you don't start talking to her and her boy friend taps you on the shoulder to have his barstool back.
Despite the fact that you're dressed like a runner make sure YOU don't bring up the fact that you're a runner or athlete. If she brings it up then fine, but YOU don't need to bring it up.
Rule number #1 never sit down and ask "How's it going?" you mind as well shoot yourself in the balls. Be a little more creative, most girls and humans in general dig someone who asks them their opinion on something.
Rule number #2 don't go out of your way to buy a girl a drink, otherwise you've just become her b*^ch. This is the 21st century so mind your equal rights manners. Plus she might think your trying to get her drunk. You don't want to take a drunk girl home either especially a white drunk girl, you're just asking for trouble.
Rule number #3 look a women in her eyes when your talking to her and when she's talking to you don't be all distracted and such when people are walking around.
Rule number #4 don't be fidgety with your hands find a comfortable place for your hands besides your pockets and keep them there.
Wear long sleeved shirt outside trousers
500 women can't be wrong!
Rule #5 don't go out just to get laid you've just set yourself up for failure.
Rule #6 don't take your running buddies, especially if you don't want to be the only one who doesn't get laid.
Rule #7 The final rule: COMMON SENSE.
Notes: men tend to objectify women when they are on a mission to get laid, I'm telling you that as soon as you have that in your mind you will be an over achiever, in other words you'll be laying it on to thick and be so obvious. soo gay to do that. be interested in a particular girl because your interested and you'll be more successful. Also don't invest to much time into a girl, if it's getting stale just go, I mean have some patience but don't be all clingly and desparate, be a man, goto another joint or go home and also be realistic don't think you've fallen in love with some bar maiden.
