Dude, anyone who's going to laugh at your for benching roughly your own weight is one of those douchebag fuckwads who thinks you're only as much as you can lift. As long as you're going it with good form, that's very impressive. If you're bringing the bar to about your nipples, maybe 1/4 to 1/2 inch away from your chest, and extending all the way up, then you're good.
I'm 6'1 and weight about 150, and I bench 95 for 4 sets of 10-12 reps, and I get dbags giving me funny looks for not lifting retarded amounts of weight, but in the end proper form, and low weight / high reps will get your better results.
EDIT: When I speak of douchebag fuckwads, I'm mostly talkign about battery. Honestly, don't listen to a single thing he says.
