Anorexia has been known as the eating disorder that affects mostly women. However, a number of men have openly discussed being anorexic, which lead to the creation of the word “manorexia”. The media and the whole idea of the perfect figure greatly affect all people, whether you are a male or a female.Craig Laue developed anorexia during his high school years. These were the years he felt the most pressure to fit in; "You get into high school — not only did I want be a better athlete, but you want to get attention from girls, and you want to fit in," Laue said. "Everybody else is in shape, and I was always a pudgier kid with glasses." Laue started to eat less and exercise more; he went from weighing in at 210 to weighing at an unhealthy 113 pounds.
Laue said, "You have these magazines where they're telling you this is the in thing. This is the in thing to wear. This is the way to look. This is the way to wear your hair. This is the way to get your six-pack abs. This is the way to get girls' attention. This is the way to be hunky and sexy.” “At what cost?" The media portrays this image that everyone should look like, and realistically it’s impossible.
