Is it normal to be a male binge eater

All of the people with eating disorders seem to be female. I'm a 21 y/o guy and i'm known to binge on entire jars of peanut butter, entire loaf of bread, 1LB bad of peanuts, and an entire package of cookies...when I'm not even hungry. My entire life I've always felt I related to women better. but it seems strange that not as many males are stricken with this crippling disorder

    Totally normal, it's just not shown or talked about very often for some reason. :\
    (I hope you can get through this, I know how horrible and dangerous those disorders can be...)

    you don't haver to be a woman to be a binge eater... actually alot of college age boys do it. women are simply more likely. BUt if you feel like a girl in boy skin, thats cool. My sister's husband binge eats 'til he throws up. he just likes eating. Ask yourself, why do I need to eat like this? Am I sad? Does this help me associate with femininity? What else can I do to get that kind of gratification?
