Men 'unhappy' with their bodies

Sadly it seems that eating disorders are now spreading among young men..

http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/he...00/7611115.stm

Quote:
One of Britain's leading eating disorder experts says as many as one in five young men are deeply unhappy with their body image.
Dr John Morgan said that for every man with an eating disorder there were 10 more who desperately wanted to change the way they looked.

Re: Men 'unhappy' with their bodies

I don't really get this, the "idealised" male image is not something very skinny, well neither is the female one but tell that to women's magazines.

In many cases the exact opposite happens called "Muscle dysmorphia" where they become obsessed with eating protein and body-building. But this is not so much of a problem as anorexia.
