“What inspires me most right now is seeing how many people are fighting for the right to express their sexuality and also fighting various social injustices such Gender-Based Violence.”
“I want to be a part of projectskinnyboy bcz I fell in love with my body. I used to hate myself for being skinny until I saw your page. It made me feel confident and sexy.”
“Eu quero fazer parte para mostrar que todos os tipos de corpos tem beleza e os meninos magros tem muita🥰 e inspirar assim como fui outros meninos a postarem e serem felizes.”
“Yo quiero estar en el proyecto, para quitar el estereotipo de cómo es un hombre físicamente , no se necesita de un cuerpo grande o con músculos para ser hombre, quiero darle esa seguridad a los chicos delgados igual que yo ,que sienten inseguridad por no lucir como un hombre común.”
“I encourage others more than myself. I also struggle with keeping connections since a lot of people have shown their true colors to me. I’m in projectskinnyboy to show the skinny boy community that being skinny is not bad and it’s something to be proud of.”
“Everyone of us has an amazing type of body and we have to be sure of it. What inspires me right now is I’ve been seeing posts on Instagram from you all—all the boys who don’t mind really posing for a camera.”
“I want to prove that no matter how skinny you are you can still look good in whatever you wear and I wanna give people a reason to feel comfortable in their body by showing them how comfortable I am in whatever I wear and even with wearing nothing—without being ashamed of my body.”
”From a young age, I was picked on for features like my big nose and lips, and this contributed to me never really feeling beautiful. It took me years to get over it and to build up the confidence I now have in myself.”
”I first came across the hashtag #projectskinnyboy and was interested then. I love the mission to empower naturally skinny people and guys particularly.”
“I would love to be an advocate and a public figure to inspire skinny men that we should never be ashamed of our size. We are picked on too, but with projects like this one where we are heard and given self-esteem like no other.”
“Bom, eu achei o projeto interessante, eu gostei das fotos e dos relatos que li no perfil de vocês no IG. Além disso, eu acho que pode ser uma forma de eu começar a amar mais o meu corpo do jeitinho que ele é.”
“Quero mostrar diversidade e representação. Corpos e músculos brancos não são os únicos corpos bonitos. Quero mostrar que os negros magros também são lindos.”
”I'm inspired by self-love right now. I've just gone through a large transformation in my life right now. My biggest struggle has been learning to love myself unconditionally.”
“I want to inspire other boys to dream bigger. My biggest struggle this year is the world situation where many people can’t work or really do anything. I want this situation to end..”
”I want to show boys that they can be confident in their skin. Confidence is the greatest attribute one could ever possess.”
“Quero mostrar diversidade e representação. Corpos e músculos brancos não são os únicos corpos bonitos. Quero mostrar que os negros magros também são lindos.”
“Há alguns anos atrás, eu jamais teria coragem coragem de postar uma foto mostrando meu corpo, um corpo magro, totalmente fora dos padrões imposto pela sociedade, um corpo que já foi muito zoado e talvez ainda seja, mas também um corpo de alguém que sem dúvidast…”
I was always this skinny insecure boy. But after a little growing up I realized that everyone is perfect in their own way. And that’s what I wanna show people.
It’s absolutely important to try to reach and spread the positivity around social media because the internet put these standards that are unrealistic causing people dislike their appearance which leads to other issues we face in our social media world.
I’m at the age where I wish I could accomplish things in such a rush, however I know with accomplishments you have to go through things.
“Eu quero mostrar que um homem pode ter sua masculinidade em alta mesmo sendo magro e curvilíneo!”
“Vejo beleza de todo canto do mundo. Pessoas diferentes e de culturas diferentes. Eu queria que todos também vejam minha beleza, meus traços.”
It's ok to be smaller and shorter or look a little less masculine because at the end of the day we are still men.
I would like to help prove to the world that petite, mixed-raced men are beautiful and still masculine…
I want to start a clothing brand that is open for everyone. I want to have a large variety of models promoting my clothing as well.
”My biggest fear in life is forgetting who I am. No I do not mean getting dementia, I mean losing yourself along the way and not knowing what you want to live for not knowing what your own out look is on the world.”
