Throw in an The Thermals' Fuckin A as well and you've got a deal.

My self body image is basically the same as Patrick's posts a few pages back.  I'm really skinny at 142.5 at 5"9, and it doesn't really help that I eat sparsely, walk an average of 4 or 5 miles a day, and have had a speedy gonzalez metabolism since younger years.  I think I could stand to be heavier or at least more visibly muscular.  I do a lot of exercising and try to do 10 - 20 pull-ups/push-ups whenever I can, but it doesn't seem to have much effect.  You can see my ribs, and I got insanely veiny extremeties (LOL DONGS).  I tend to think about my butt too, which is a bit foppish.  Overall I'm pretty okay with my body.  It's not too skinny, it's not too heavy.  I'm supposedly cuddlesome despite bones that jut out from my body, so it's all good.

Now my face, don't even get me STAAHDED.

You can do all the weight training you want, but you won't build muscle if your body doesn't get enough nourishment.  Adding some calories to your daily diet will help a lot, especially if you get them from good lean protein sources. 

The most important question is: why do you eat sparsely, and what do you usually eat? 

WriterofAllWrongs:
I eat sparsely because I am poor and picky at once, and I mostly eat grains and meats.  I try to eat the occasional salad for my vitamins and such.  My mother works at a Thai restaurant and gets many meals half-off, which means a lot of spicy beef salads and sushi, so I've got a large source of protein and carbohydrates.  I've also never had the largest of appetites, so it all kind of works against me.  I eat small amounts of food, get full, my metabolism works it off while I walk and before I get home to do push-ups and pull-ups and the like.

Like I said, though, I'm okay with my body, I'm just like many other people.  I've got stuff I'd change, and a lot people think otherwise but I'm all like "NO ARMS MUST BE HUGE"  It's just a thing I do, and if this thread serves as an example, a thing a large majority of  people do as well. 

Spluff:
Meat is pretty much the best thing you can get for muscle gain. As an ex skinny guy, I recommend investing in either a gym membership or just a simple set of free weights. There's only so much you can do with body weight, and most of it isn't really the type of thing that will bulk you up.

Compound lifts, such as deadlifts, squats, military press, and bench press are the quickest path to muscle gain - also remember to change around your routine every three weeks or so or your body will get used to whats going on and not make any progress.
