Are your pulses racing?

Do you find anorexia attractive?

Bella sets pulses racing in black string bikini

Bella Hadid shows off her phenomenal figure in a string bikini as she leaps into the sea with new boyfriend Marc Kalman on a romantic trip in Antibes

She is thin, but not anorexic as I understand it. I have known a couple of anorexic women, and they have looked more like the starving African children photos, a bag of bones. One can use the term "anorexic" to describe any number of degrees of thinness, but I would not use it to describe her. I'm sure if you google you can find better photos of anorexic women.

She's svelte...

[TPFKA@W]

She looks fit to me.

[Scooter]

I'm obviously not the most qualified to judge, but...

Pelvic bones jutting out like that give her a look more akin to early concentration camp.

[TPFKA@W]

People have gotten so accustomed to people being so damned fat they have forgotten what a normal weight looks like. But surely it’s ok to body shame someone who has a normal body weight.

[Joe Guy]

She doesn't look anorexic to me but she also looks like she can't afford to lose more than a couple of ounces.

Now here's an anorexic...

[BoSoxGal]

In humans as in animals, it is not considered ‘fit’ or healthy body condition for ribs and other bones to be visible.

Anorexia has stages, from underweight to dead.

Bella Hadid is NOT fit. Fitness requires muscle tone, not just an absence of body fat. And quite obviously some degree of body fat - especially in women - is also required for fitness. I’d bet a month’s wages that Bella Hadid doesn’t menstruate.

Hear, hear!

[Gob]

She's naturally thin, and works out to keep reasonable muscle tone.

[MajGenl.Meade]

Awful.

Meanwhile, pulses racing:

I don't think that any of us should be body shaming anyone. And I'm willing to bet that Bella Hadid can beat most of us over pretty much any distance from 100m to 5K.

Perhaps, but then this is not uncommon among elite female athletes, especially runners, gymnasts, and others who would hardly be called "not in shape" or lacking muscle tone (the last estimate I saw was about a third of elite female athletes are amenorrheic, and it includes those in a variety of sports and body types). /Sure, starvation can cause amenorrhrea, but then so can exercise.

[TPFKA@W]

I contend she is fit. I envy her her BMI and her will power.

The 3 cups of espresso before noon is, however, a bit concerning.

[Joe Guy]

I'd never heard of her so looked her up. I don't understand how she could have Lyme Disease for almost 10 yrs. I think she might be a bit wacko. Other than that she looks like most models do. Thin.

I have to say that I agree with @W on this.

One of my friends from High School has had PTLDS (Post-Treatment Lyme Disease syndrome) for over 35 years. Symptoms recur irregularly but in her case, have been debilitating over the last 10 years.

Awful.

Sorry Meade - that one took me a while. Nice one.

[rubato]

She is not anorexic, not by any measure. Her hips, thighs, shoulders and upper arms are well muscled but she has much less subcutaneous fat than most women. Just step off the body-shaming bus and walk away.

Compared to a lot of supermodels, she's not that thin. Kate Moss back in the 90s comes to mind. Or the androgynous look from the 90s-2000s, such as Kristen McMenamy.

As for making my pulse race, well, no. But that has little to do with her looks.
