Although that is rare, it does happen. There's something like 10 percent of all people with anorexia are male.  I am not exact on that number, but there are males with anorexia.

I don't judge people by the way they look. A person being overweight would not make me not be attracted to him. If he is still able to get around and is active than it wouldn't be a problem for me. He would need to have a good personality, be kind, funny and nice. He would also have to have self respect and be respectful to others. Those are the things that are the most important.\n\n@--->---

There is one chubby or "beer-bellied" male avatar.\n\nI think having some showing signs of age would be great - younger looking ones (even children) and older folks as well.\n\nWe live in a superficial world... why not a superficial internet? It's disgusting really. You know, a lot of people spend their time wishing they were thinner or had perfect skin/hair/etc. Now, that they can be that "perfect image" we want them to look realistic. Go figure.

With the proper spelling, "anorexia", I found the answer to your question.  See below.

About three minutes ago there were two questions pertaining to anorexia. Maybe, if you have good information to share, you should go find those questions. If people are specifically asking, they would be the ones most likely to be open to receiving helpful insite.

~no one can help you but you. YOU have to care about you and stop making everyone else take on YOUR responsibility!\n Anorexia is more a control issue for you, isn't it? And a way to avoid doing what you really should be doing...\nI will pray for you Sweetheart, but if YOU don't care about yourself enough to face the truth and handle your business, then why should I waste my valuable time doing what YOU are obviously to lazy or stubborn to do yourself??\nLike they say: \nIf YOU won't even fight for you, then why should I?!

That looks like anorexy. Don't take it easy and go talk with a doctor, it's important.

One of my friends used to be anorexic. She went to the doctor one day for headaches and come to find out, she had a brain tumor because of it. If you are still in school, go to the guidance counselor or talk to her parents. Definitely not healthy.

Anorexia Nervosa\n\nSymptoms:\n1. Person refuses to maintain normal body weight for age and height.  \n\n2. Weighs 85% or less than what is developmentally expected for age and height. \n\n3. Young girls do not begin to menstruate at the appropriate age. Puberty is delayed in both sexes. \n\n4. In women, menstrual periods stop. In men, levels of sex hormones fall. Sex drive disappears or is much diminished. \n\n5. Person denies the dangers of low weight. \n\n6. Is terrified of becoming fat. Is terrified of gaining weight even though s/he is alarmingly underweight. Reports feeling fat even when emaciated. \n\nIn addition, anorexia nervosa often includes depression, irritability, withdrawal, and peculiar behaviors such as compulsive rituals, strange eating habits, and division of foods into "good/safe" and "bad/dangerous" categories. Person may have low tolerance for change and new situations; may fear growing up and assuming adult responsibilities and an adult lifestyle. May be overly engaged with or dependent on parents or family. Dieting may represent avoidance of, or attempts to cope with, the demands of a new life stage such as adolescence.\n\nBulimia Nervosa\n\nSymptoms:\n1. Person diets, becomes hungry, and then binge eats in response to powerful cravings and feelings of deprivation.  \n\n2. Feels out of control while eating. \n\n3. Fears gaining weight and frantically tries to "undo" the binge. Vomits, misuses laxatives, exercises, or fasts to get rid of the calories. \n\n4. Swears to "be good," to never binge eat again, but then continues to restrict food intake which starts yet another repeat of the deprivation-hunger-binge-purge cycle. \n\n5. Believes self-worth requires being thin.\n\n6. May shoplift, be promiscuous, and abuse alcohol, drugs and credit cards. May engage in risk-taking behavior and have other problems with impulse control. Person acts with little thought of consequences. \n\n7. Weight may be normal or near normal unless combined with Anorexia Nervosa.\n\nLike Anorexia, Bulimia can kill. Even though bulimics put up a brave front, they are often depressed, lonely, ashamed, and empty inside. Friends may describe them as competent, glamorous, adventurous and fun to be with, but underneath, where they hide their guilty secrets, they are hurting. Feeling unworthy, they have great difficulty talking about their feelings, which almost always include anxiety, depression, self-doubt, and deeply buried anger.

Have him come over to your house. Before you do this google picture and all these articles on anorexia and all the problems that is can cause including the long term effect--DEATH! After you do this have him come over and have a serious talk with him and say that you are worried about him.  Show him all the research and talk with him.\n\nIf this doesn't work, then you need to tell someone because he is hurting him self.  Maybe like a school couslner, mom/ dad, girlfriend of his, anyone that will have a bigger influence on him them you.\n\nI know this must be hard. But remember you can only help so much. He has to want to change to.  Good Luck
