I am sure there are some cases but you are right there are far more women who have this problem..I think women that are afflicted with this have body image problems and feel that they need to be thin...Men I think want to look big and muscular not thin.

Yes there is but the reason you dont here about males is because its harder for males to talk about there problems because they seem to need to think he can figure it out himself or that he might not hasve a problem and females are more so to talk about problems communication is the best way!!!!!

Anorexia as well as Bulimia are conditions/diseases which can affect men, woman, old, or young.
your brain decides that you are fat, weather you are or not, and then decides to tell you to do something about it . Don't eat or eat and throw it up. The only way to fix this visious cycle is to remember or discover what is healthy/normal unfortunately to most with the disease they think they are normal and will never see it differently without disinterested third party help.

I think you only hear about females who are anorexic, because men find it harder to discuss things like that with people.

Anorexia can happen to males but is definately less common which may be because of the pressure on men to be muscular. But anorexia can be as much about trying have control of something as it is about looking thin
