Hello,
I think this site show that men can get poor body image also. I think sometimes a problem is that people think always women are sensitive and concious about body image, but they think men do not worry about body image.
So maybe this means it can be hard for people to understand problems for men with eating disorders, and also all men who feel sometimes bad about their appearences. I think a problem that is for men with eating disorder is maybe people can make unhelpful or hurtful comment or hurting your feelings about your body, and not realises you can get upset.
I know sometimes people make a comment about my weight and it is meaning for only teasing and joking, they do not understand it hurts me, but I feeling silly so did not say how it makes me feel. Even one day my collegue makes joke about my weight in front of everyone at work, who laughs. My collegues are my friends and I get on very well- I know they will not like to hurt me, but they did not realise it makes for me very upset inside.
Being very sensitive about body image and comment about it is part of every eating disorder, including of men, I think.
