I (I mean some theoretical man) is 6'6" and 210 lb, and I (oops, 
actualy...) have had the same trouble. You don't suppose we (I mean they) 
have some other trouble, do you? My (his) weight has been about the same 
for 10 years and things are improving rapidly now.

Every detail of your makeup can be considered either attractive, neutral 
or unnatractive (to any given person). Being tall and very skinny is 
probably not especialy attractive but probably not unattractive either. 
Few things all alone override everything else.

The point is, dont look at yourself and give up as soon as you find 
something that is not the way you would have it. You have many other 
things to work with, and probably some of them could use some work, so 
learn to use them.
