Many people seem to feel a certain measure of resentment towards skinny women, and immediately think when they see them that they're anoerexic and/or have self-esteem issues. But tell me, what do you think when you see an anoerexically thin *Man*?

I'm not one to judge by looks. I don't assume one is anorexic merely because they are thin. The fact that they are the way they could be because of a gene issue, it could be because they just recently had surgery and are on recovery therefore still gaining their weight back, it could be that it's just natural- the way their body forms. It could also be that they are anorexic. Having been anorexic myself a couple of years back, I know all too well the judgment, and will never judge one like that. I'm also not one to distinguish issues like this between male and female. If I saw an 'anorexically' thin man, it wouldn't change my life. I'd notice it, maybe look at them again, but no more. No judgment. People are people, be they females, males, tranvestites, transexuals... I don't care. They could be what they want. I'm not one to judge.

I'd think, "There's my guy- oh wait, not him." My guy is skinny like that, but eats WAY more than I do, and always wants sweets. Mostly, I'd probably just think, "Damn males."

That he is not well. A certain amount of weight and muscular development is necessary for health. Throughout history, the only thin people have been so against their will, never deliberately.

Funny you mention that, i am very slim at 7st 2, and i get persecuted for being skinny, but if its a man thats OK! some people just can't put weight on its not in their genetic make-up :)

I really do not think much about an anorexically thin man or woman. The most I think is "I hope they are healthy". I had a friend who was dying from a metabolic disorder and looked "anorexic" despite eating as many calories as he possibly could. I do not find the anorexia look appealing but I do not have a negative reaction to someone who looks that way.

usually i think "emos are really annoying"

I don't judge guys who are thin. My second boyfriend was and still is thin. I didn't really pay that much attention until he pointed it out and other people pointed it out.

I'd probably think, "Look at THIS faggish hipster. Oh you think you're the cock of the walk eh? Look at this guy, what a douchebag, could his jeans be any tighter. I'm a fat bastard but if I chased him right now he wouldn't even be able to out run me because he has these queer looking tight jeans on with the crotch just above his knees. What an asshole. Somebody should say something to him. Where's this guys father? Hey wheres your fucking checkered VANS at pussy? God, how are you honestly THAT guy?......?....I gotta shit."

In all honesty, I am envious of skinny women - but I never assume they are anorexic, have self-esteem issues, OR are healthy. I only envy those women who are physically fit.

If I saw myself in the mirror I'd think "no matter how much food I eat I don't gain any weight." I have a high metabolism and burn off extra calories cos I get a bit hyper sometimes. As a general rule of thumb, I don't judge people by their appearance

I do not feel resentment towards skinny women OR men. Just being thin does not qualify as thin enough to be anorexic. I also do not automatically assume that extremely skinny = anorexic. If I see someone who I think is anorexic I think that they could either be anorexic or have a medical condition that causes it. I had a doctor who had a disease that made it impossible to gain weight and he looked anorexic. He always had fattening food at his desk that he ate in an effort to stay, frankly, alive. When I see someone thin enough to look anorexic I just think to myself that I hope they are OK healthwise and, if it is anorexia, that they pull out of it before they die.

I think that he is probably ill, suffering with some kind of disease like cancer or Chron's. But I think the same thing when I see an anorexically thin woman too.
