I am anorexic. I am 5 foot 8 and I weigh 95 pounds. Are men generally attracted to anorexic women?

Question

I want to weigh at least 85 pounds.

Answer 1

Generally, I think not. There are fetishes and what not but being anorexic is generaly considered unhealthy and unattractive. at your height 85 pounds would look really scary!

Answer 2

While I'm sure there'll be a small minority who are attracted to visibly anorexic women, it's probably reflective of psychological damage in the man. Overly thin women tend to have little or no visible secondary sexual characteristics (breasts, etc.) They look like prepubescent girls or are generally 'boyish'. This is sometimes referred to as "cryptopedophilia".

Also, very few people find a visibly protruding ribcage (and so on) sexually attractive - most people find it freakish and repulsive - you really should not be able to directly see details of someones skeleton. So if you're really as tall as 5'8" and you achieve a weight of less than 85lbs, you'd better plan on keeping your entire body covered up in public.

So the short answer is NO!

Answer 3

seriously... Im lower in my wqeight class, am 108 lbs. and only 5 2.... I used to be like 90. Every boyfriend I had then told me they felt like they would break me and it made them uncomfortable. I gained weight, am now with my husband. It feels better to them if you are healthy, not dying. Give your body the nutrients it needs! You look down and see fat, others see a skeleton... something isnt right there... you should be at least 115 to 120 and still be skinny as hell. Look for a clinic in your area today! Or jsut go the the local ER or doctor. They will give you the info you need.

Answer 4

I don't know about other men but the fact you're a woman is hot enough for me but hey the skinny thing works too as does the BBW guess i like the extremes so yes there are men who love anorexic women otherwise how do you explain Calista Flockhart?

Answer 5

Contrary to what ads and television programs tell women most men don't like women that are anorexic. Physical attraction aside, you are in danger of damaging your body to a point where it will not be able to recover. You need to have a better self image of yourself. I was 115 lbs at 5'7" until I was 40, I couldn't gain weight. Then I began to gain weight, I felt better, looked better and other people noticed. I am happy with me as I am, that is what matters to me.

Answer 6

Are you F****ing serious??????thatis disgusting!!!!!!!!!
I certainly as hell would not be...I would tell you to put on some weight or at least some muscle or something. In my view, Men aren't really attracted to a women who is thinner than his thigh.
You need to see a doctor right away, seriously because that is not healthy at all.
Im 6'4" and at one time in my life I was down to 100 lbs., but not by choice, (I was going thru chemo), and all I was were ribs and hair.

Grow up, gain some weight, get serious, go to a doctor immediately and then answer it again.

Answer 7

You are terribly underweight. At your smallest frame, you should be about 126-139 pounds. Generally guuys aren't attracted to this because your body is way out of proportion.

Instead of not eating for long periods of time, I would work on your 'trouble areas', so you still look and are healthy. Come on now.....

Answer 8

despite the social propaganda to the contrary, guys prefer anorexics to obese or even just overweight women, especially if the ideal of anorexic is the supermodel type. Victoria Beckham has been copping flak as a poor example of body shape but us men drool over that shape.

Answer 9

No. Men want a healthy looking women. At 5'8" and 95 pounds you would not look healthy

Answer 10

Don't let these people insult you. You shouldn't feel bad because of your anerexia; it's a disorder, and it's very hard to overcome. Getting help is what you need to worry about right now. Talk to your counselor or a friend - anyone! You can beat this; I promise. Usually, men will like girls who are not so skinny, but most of all, they love healthy girls. Just be yourself and pamper yourself. Just BE GOOD TO YOURSELF. That's what it's about. Men will love you for who you are. If you need to talk to anyone, feel free to message me, okay? ;)
