I still disagree but it doesn't really matter.
On eating disorder rates not affecting males like females it's also a point that men are less likely to seek help when there's a problem - perhaps because of a belief services (by extension of gearing towards customers who approach them!) are all for women and as men are less likely to seek help generally; whether it's for eating disorders or depression (a reason why the highest suicide rate group is young males), or whatever else.
We don't hear about it as men are less outspoken about it but that doesn't mean the issue is so small as it appears (and yes I do believe it is still a much greater problem for women just that for males you can't glance at a clinic or statistics and see the whole picture.
As for all the comments about women going out with overweight men all over the place I don't think that's true at all. Slimming down and building muscle are not equally hard work also. The suggestion that women aren't primarily attracted to superficial things like physique seems to be a fallacy - no matter what is 'said because they don't want to seem shallow'.
Plus all the comments here seem to imply women might go for such guys but only if there are major overrriding other factors - wealth, fame etc and probably would prefer that person to be slimmer too anyway. On a side note physical attraction is linked to perception of an individuals success. Noble emotional connections are all well and good but I think for all that's said it's found women tend to be substantially more interested in trying and build such emotional connections with slim toned guys than those guys who aren't.
