Is anorexia only found in girls and women or also men, because I never heard of an anorexic GUY?!?

Answer 1

its found in both! jonny depp is anerexic! you know the guy that did pirates an the cariibean and all those movies!

Answer 2

I think that you are asking a skewed question. If you have seen pictures of people leaving concentration camps, you realize how inappropriate and inaccurate you are. When it comes to slender women, however, many men are not necessarily attracted to their skinniness, they are just turned off by fatness. Also, some may think that a slender woman has more self control over her desires than a heavier woman, who they assume eats more food despite having more fat reserves. Others may view overweight people as greedier, or more focused on getting things for themselves. Whether or not these things are completely bogus, if it is what a guy thinks it will influence who he likes. Also, a body capable of athletic feats, such as running, was definitely evolutionary favorable, so men may have evolved to want to mate with 'athletic' woman. Hope this helps!! also the theory/study relating curves to intelligence sounds like a study that would quickly crumble under scientific scrutiny, though I would like to hear the physiological process that could link curves to intelligence :)

Answer 3

There seems to be some confusion between anorexia and bulimia,anorexia is where a person doesn't eat or doesn't eat enough to sustain life and bulimia is eating but then throwing up after,they are,however both eating disorders Both are found in men,bulimia is more common while anorexia is rarer.

Answer 4

Anorexia can afflict both men and women. Athletes often have problem with anorexia, particularly wrestlers who are trying to get into a lower weight class.

Answer 5

5-10% of people with anorexia are male.

Answer 6

Its been termed "Manorexia" and yes, it does happen a lot. Its more noticed in women though because guys can be really thin and no one notices but when a woman loses a lot of weight she has a probelm...KWIM? Double standards.

Answer 7

Eating disorders aren't as much about weight as feeling out of control of your life. Eating is the ultimate control of your life. Many people with eating disorders have them because of another major issue they haven't dealt with so it turns into this.

Answer 8

yes it can be found in men also. but men generally not concious about the their figure as girls are. so study says that girls and woman are more anrexic than boys and men.

Answer 9

yes both men and women can be anorexic but you don't hear it as often in men.

Answer 10

yeah, one of my friends friends was actually bulimic (and he was NOT gay, thank u). its just that a lot of guys ARE thin, so you don't even think of them as having problems. women are more noticable cause we look a lot as a womans figure more than a man..its just more common in women.
