| Just curious if there are guys out there that would date a woman recovering from anorexia? Would you treat her normally, or would you have serious reservations about a serious relationship/commitment? |

| I would date 5'6 and 94lb. I would keep her disease in mind however and try to support her recovery in every way I could. If she relapses, however, it could go in one of many different ways. No one is perfect. My highschool sweetheart became bulimic while we were dating. She never really became skin and bones, but she lost some weight and was on her way to become malnourished. Her parents had money so she got doctors, nutritionists and all that. She ended up leaving me a few years later and we talked on and off but haven't for years at this point. From what I know through common friends, she's healthy now and has no boyfriend (I was curious, lol). |

| I'd date a woman like this, but like someone already said, a relapse could cause me to act in any number of ways. I'd be conscious about not saying anything about weight or "you should eat more" or whatever, but I'd be supportive. |

The point here isn't whether someone like that would look sexually attractive to you, but whether her having a very serious, and in fact life-threatening, disorder (from which she'd be struggling to recover, thus needing support, communication and empathy and not merely male attention) would be a dealbreaker. |
