All behaviors listed were dramatically more common in men than women, despite common portrayal of eating disorders as "female issues". Specifically, for example, vomiting for weight control (bulimia) was found in 22.4% of female online daters, and 36.4% of male online daters. Thus '''male online daters are 1.6x as likely as female to have bulimia'''. | All behaviors listed were dramatically more common in men than women, despite common portrayal of eating disorders as "female issues".
