He obviously wants to gain weight because he isn't happy with being skinny. It would be like asking a fat bloke, "Why do you want to lose weight?". I myself am quite skinny and I would do anything to gain a bit of extra weight but I have an incredibly fast metabolism so I've given up..

But High metabolism has been said and that's the answer

Gaining a bunch of fat won't help you at all, it'll just make you tired quicker and you'll have to burn through the fat before you can start making muscle.

Eat lots of fruit such as apples, oranges, and bananas.

If you're finding yourself to be really sore after exercising then try "Muscle Milk" or "Weigh Protein", the protein will help your muscles heal quicker and stronger.

Be sure to drink lots of milk too, and eat 3 meals a day and you'll start gaining a lot of weight in muscle that way you'll fill out better and be fit too.

It's not that bad, and if you want you can mix it with chocolate syrup to give it a better taste and a tiny energy boost.

I also suggest drinking/eating your protein AFTER working out as you'll prevent stomach cramps that way.
