So, I have this really good guy friend named Richard. Now personally, I am disgusted by eating disorders. But, he says that guys like women with eating disorders because it shows that they have discipline and self-control. He also says its not an eating disorder if you look good and are thin.
Now do all guys feel this way? This is so confusing.
I mean, yeah, I know guys have them too, but I am just wondering about guys opinions on a girl with an ED.
I might also add, that at the time we were discussing it he was looking at a pro ana/mia forum. and he mentioned how hot the girls were because they were really thin.
Your body, by all nature, needs food to obtain sufficient minerals and vitamins to keep it strong and healthy. Lots of bad things succeed eating disorders besides losing weight a slower and safer way.
NO, i don't like eating disorders. I prefer to eat well and do some sport.

guys have been known to have eating disorders too, it isnt just a girl thing

hopefully, all guys don't feel that way- that is pretty sick! and by the way, no matter what, it is an eating disorder, but whatever floats his boat….

I think my boyfriend appreciates that i have that much self control that i went without eating for two months, but he would NEVER let me do it again, so i always prove my self control in other ways like how i refuse to drink alcolhol and how i always stick to my morals
(im a weird teenager i know)

I think most people would disagree heavily with your friend Richard. It's odd that he'd say it shows self control….because it's way out of control.
Anyways, most guys I know like healthy girls who eat their food on dates.
Just what I've seen.

I hope not. Finding a psychological disorder to be an attractive quality is disgusting.

Eating disorder are gross and shows that the girl isn't self-confident about her body. My best friend had a eating problem last year, guys are freaked out by her. They are like "ya she's weird, isn't she anorexic or something gross?" That's gross is guys like eating disorders, I mean theirs nothing good about them.

Run away from this guy. Most men don't like stick thin women or ones that are vomiting to maintain their figure. THis is a sign of a sick little boy. Eating disorders are very serious and difficult to overcome. Nobody should be encouraged to go down that path, it's unhealthy and possibly deadly. It's a sad reality that people are killing themselves in the name of pursuing the "model" figure that most people can never achieve. Don't buy into it. Eating disorders aren't disgusting, they're a medical/psychological condition that requires serious intervention. Just don't go there.

No, that just isn't so. Eveyone has different outlooks on people looks. Not every guy likes skinny girls or girls with eating disorders, plus it is vey dangerous for your health. Ask other guys besides Richard, and I bet you will get different answers. Good luck

No not all guys feel that way…and your "friend" Richard is an a@#hole! I have NEVER heard any guy say such a thing about women.
References :
your friend is a little misguided, its not self control, in fact, its the exact opposite-they have a distorted sence of themselves, that makes them think they are overweight when they are actually stick thin.
I know a chick who used to scarf and barf, that's foul. She started to get ulcers so she had to go to therapy or rehab…something. Its messed up.

I prefer women that eat… Curvy is better than Skinny…

First, I am a guy. The biology of beauty is all about health. Obesity isn't healthy and neither is scrawniness. Eating habits that result in either are bad–a "disorder" if you wish. A healthy woman is almost always attractive, and I suppose the same is true for men.

First, your friend may be gay. Gay mean care about their weight to the point where you can call it an eating disorder. Women, yes they have control but the eating disoder is kind of freaky to me. How about a chic who is active and stays tone? Health.. think Health
Yes, thin chics are hot and just because they are hot its not right to say they have a eating disorder.

That friend isn't exactly thinking for the best of you. Eating disorders are not only unhealthy, but gross. No guy in his right mind wants a girl that when she turns sideways, she disappears.
That's just unattractive. Trust me. No guy (with the exception of your friend) wants someone who has rotted teeth (bulimia reference) and bones that pop out of the skin. It is just plain gross and disgusting. I personally don't understand how people can find that beautiful.

Geniune people with eating disorders as in anorexia are very rare. Most eating disorders are the other way – that is over eating. It is very common to be slim and not have a mental condition.

I don't want to sound offensive, but your friend Richard has absolutely no clue what he is even talking about. Eating Disorders are a mental illness that can turn life threatening, anyone who finds that in anyway acceptable or appealing needs mental help themselves! Sorry to sound harsh. Take care.

Eating disorders are not gross or stupid, the effects yes maybe unattractive but eating disorders are a mental disorder. Many people don't realize that people who have eating disorders suffer from, paranoia, depression, anxiety disorders and (OCD) Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It is really sad that people make fun of people who are suffering because it is like teasing a cancer patient because they look sickly. Its a disorder people not a choice. Make fun of the people who pretend to be anorexic just to be cool, they are the stupid ones. Or the ones who are into pro-ana because they want to devolop eating disorders. Everyone who really has had one hates it and wishes that they were treated for it.
