An article published in the Journal of Eating Disorders suggests that attraction to men is a risk factor for eating disorders.

Eating disorder prevalence is higher in women and men who are attracted to men than it is in men who are attracted to women.

Regardless of sexuality, men place higher emphasis on the physical attractiveness of their romantic partners than women do, causing researchers to hypothesize that attraction to men may be a risk factor for disordered eating.

As predicted, participants who are attracted to men showed greater levels of eating disorder symptomology than lesbian women and heterosexual men.

Body dissatisfaction was greater in participants who reported being attracted to men but was also greater in women regardless of sexuality.
