I don't know too many 165 pound pro wrestlers, nor football players. As I wouldn't have a job in my field if I weighed 165 pounds, I don't know what to tell you.
Twenty hours a week of weight training, combined with a 3,000 calorie a day diet for twenty plus years is a good way to start.
Luckily for you, one can be a jackass at any size.

Ah yes, 20 plus years of overeating makes it ok. But then again, you probably enjoy receiving the aghast looks you receive from seated passengers as you waddle towards your seat while boarding. I pity the passengers who have to suffer thru a flight with a "person of size" occupying their personal limited seating space. Luckily for others, I chose and still choose not to be a "person of size".
Unluckily, you still chose to be an ass.

Some people like coffee and eggs for breakfast, others go for biscuits and gravy. If you have read a few posts by drmilled, you're probably thinking he starts his day with a big plate of fried angry, smothered in a simmering sauce of hate and bile....not that there's anything wrong with that!
Probably the only good thing about the 5 years that followed 911 was massive overcapacity in airplane seats. Not so good for the airlines (as my former employer and now bankrupt airline could attest) but it was awesome for passengers. For the better part of the 2000's my normal flight experience involved getting a whole row of seats to myself.

Last year I got stuck with a middle seat next to a sick kid who coughed on me for 4 hours. Ugh.
