Why do you want to gain weight? I find advantages to being light. I like the fact that I eat less food and save money.
Always funny when guys who are weaker than most women are scared of gaining weight for fear of looking fat 
yeah work out with weights, muscle weighs more than fat, so u can be cut and be the weight that you want

i dunno why people say this because its completely false.... just think about it. 1lb of muscle weighs the same as 1 lb of fat.
Muscle weighs more than fat because muscle cells that compose muscle are
denser than fat cells. Why is this? Because fat cell cytoplasm contains
mostly oils (lipids), whereas muscle cell cytoplasm contains mostly
contractile proteins (myosin and actin) suspended in an aqueous (watery)
environment. Lipids in general are less dense than water. You can prove
this by mixing salad oil with water in a bottle and shaking it.
Eventually, the oil will separate from the water and float to the top to
form a lighter layer floating on top of the water. This lowered density of
lipids make fatty tissue less heavy than muscle.

hmm... how about just saying that muscle is more dense than fat? So a pound of muscle takes less space and burns more calories then a pound of fat.
No, it's a phrase that's fvcking moronic.
"A pound of rocks weighs more than a pound of feathers."
Throw another log on the "Muscle is denser than fat" fire and pump some iron.

i remember a coach once told me if you want to build mass, do heavier weight with lower reps. like 3 sets of 3 bench, making the last set near impossible (close to your max) so it breaks down the muscle causing your body to build more to handle the new load.
not sure how accurate that is, but it seems to make sense to someone who hasnt peeped in a gym in 10 yrs.
