Likely because there is enormous societal pressure for girls to be thin at this particular moment in time.

But guys can have eating disorders, too, including those more stereotypically female, like anorexia and bulimia. But you tend to see in guys more problems relating to pressures that guys in particular are under, such as bigorexia where guys can develop an obsession with getting bigger and bigger muscles.
