Boring question #88: Those men/women who are attracted to anorexic women, what makes them physically attractive?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) July 16th, 2013

Seeing that not many men (at least that are seen) are anorexic this question will focus on anorexic women. To those men (and maybe a few lesbians who like anorexic women) what physical attributes make anorexic women attractive? For instance, is it that skin-stretched-over-a-skeleton look, knobby knees and elbows, being able to count each rib, thin skin that you can see veins under, etc?

Can I answer why I don’t find them attractive? No softness. Not womanly. Makes tribbing painful. I like full, bouncy tits and and a nice, round ass. A little belly is sexy, as well.

I’d rather date a curvy woman (Cosmo says you’re fat. I ain’t down with that!) or someone who is toned (muscular). No knobby knees or protruding rib cages, please.

It’s a probably fetish. Just like some men are attracted to women so fat they can barely move.

Because it makes them feel strong and powerful holding a small, fragile woman in their arms?

Some men and their egos.

People are attracted to different things.

@Mama_Cakes Couldn’t agree more.

It is not that anorectic women are attractive.
In my opinion, it’s just that women these days seem to be really fat or really skinny.

Not that many seem to be “just right”.

Since I think fat is repulsive, that leaves skinny. As a guy, it is just a matter of picking from what is out there.

Fat people (especially fat women) are reviled in our culture. So a lot of men probably see the opposite of fat (anorexic) to be awesome, then they make sure that everyone knows that thin is much better, and that fat is disgusting (like displaying a sticker on your car that says: No Fat Chicks) and so propagates the idea that women are not valued unless they are sickly thin.

I can think of several people things I find far more repulsive than ‘fat’. Ugh.

They make cheap dates.

I don’t know. Maybe it is a sort-of fetish idea. Skinny women are not the only ones I find attractive, but things like hip-bones and collar bones just turn me on for some reason. Of course I wouldn’t want someone to be terribly unhealthy, though. Also, I’m a chick just in case you’re wondering
