lol, I hear ya
it's all about the lighting
in the right lighting, when I flex I have a fairly visible 4 pack. In improper lighting, it just looks like a slab of beef
as for achieving a sixpack, it's all fat percentage. you can't have fat on your stomach...you can do 1000 situps a day and all you're doing is building muscles in your stomach...not toning them to the point where they're visible and defined. I used to do 2800 situps a week and played basketball twice a week. It made my middle torso nice and strong, but no sixpack simply because my fat percentage was over a certain point. Oh, and weight doesn't have much to do with it either. I know a guy 280lbs with ripped abs, and a lot of 170lb guys with little pot bellies.
It's funny how some people will look at your weight, a number, and declare you 'fat' or 'overweight' or 'out of shape' or whatever. This friend of mine...he's the same height as me (6'3"), although we're completely different builds. He's 170lbs and I'm 240lbs. I can run faster, I'm much quicker in something like basketball, obviously stronger, more athletic, and overall healthier (even a better blood pressure). In a lot of cases, weight is no more than a number.

Do a lot of crunches for abs. A lot.

There's soo much more to it than that. The way you eat, for example, is more important...as is cardio.
