Guys...would a stretch mark freak you out?

I don't think stretch marks are anything to worry about most guys like myself only care that our girl loves us and that you are honest to us guys... because I hate lies with a passion I'm sure no guy likes to be lied on so don't worry about your stretch marks and congratz on the weight loss, I myself am 21 yrs old used to weight 280 pounds now I'm at 190 after 6 months and still wanna lose 30 more but I'm pretty happy here myself so I know how you feel. :D

Hey, first of all I would like to say I'm surprised you're still a virgin at 23! No offense! I respect that!! I'm a 23 years old as well, and I myself am one... I want to try to keep it for that special someone... I just didn't think there were any girls out there anymore like yourself... All the girls I know of lost it as young as 14...
But WOW, congrats on your weight loss!! And no, personally I wouldn't mind about the stretch marks... I'm a guy myself, as long as your personality is there and you're an understanding girl, that would be all that matters to me.

Anyways, really proud of you and hopefully your bf will see it the same way as I do. You deserve it! And you really are that "special someone" that every nice guy is searching for!

Well, I wouldn't be freak out by them. I have stretch marks of my own from when I had my growth spurt and grew 3 inches in no more than 3 months and didn't gain any weight to cover the extra height. So I have some light stretch marks on my legs and near my hip bone.

As prettyirishgirl suggested, you can use coco butter and vitamin E to help fade them. Be careful if you buy any product that seems really expensive for removing them, they don't tell you it might take 5 bottles of the stuff before you see any results. If you run a Google search on fading stretch marks you can find a lot of suggestions. There's a new product out called "Scar Gone" I think by the company that makes "Head On," and it's supposed to help with stretch marks some.

Also, since you aren't really old the stretch marks will fade over time. So unless you have the really extreme ones that are dark red they'll fade naturally so they aren't all the noticeable even without helping them along.

Stretch marks aren't attractive but it wouldn't freak me out

I've been with women that had stretch marks, and honestly, I didn't really care, until they kept annoying me with..'i hope you don't mind my stretch marks...' I think most guys won't care about that. You can also turn the lights off if you're that worried about them. Also, congratulations on your weight loss. You should really be proud of that. I don't see why you want to hide that from your bf, after all, is part of you. I also dated a woman that like you, lost a lot of weight, and like you, she tried to hide that from me, but because I tend to be a curious person, I asked her about her high school pics, as I always find it interesting to see how people looked then.

She kept making excuses about it, and I finally said--what the hell are you hiding, I'm not that stupid. Anyway, she finally showed me her pics, and I was just amazed at her accomplishment. If anything, I was really proud how she took action and unlike many other women that say they are happy to be obese, she did something about her weight problem. So if your bf loves you, I don't see why you need to hide this from him. Congratulations again, and maybe you should write a story of how you did it, what was it like to be overweight, because I've seen many girls posting questions on this matter. :)

Most women have stretch marks. so unless he's never seen a girl naked, he's not gonna care b/c it's natural. I think the media makes us think that stretch marks are this horrible curse just b/c they airbrush everything out. but if you think about it: stretch mark lotions & creams are so popular b/c so many women have them!

I guess this isn't an answer to your problem but would you mind sharing how you lost all that weight? =)

Hey I know you asked guys but I think this might help you. like they said he shouldn't care and it shouldn't bother him, but I get the whole self conscious thing. A friend of my lost a lot of weight recently and we tried to figure out if there was a way to reduce the stretch marks, I don't know if it works for everyone, but it worked for her so maybe you could try this or look up, or ask your doc about something you could do. Because if you aren't happy with your body then nothing matters, but if you aren't happy and you comment and apologize all the time for it like Sexwiseman said then it might get to him where it didn't before.


1. brush marks with loofa or skin brush when showering
2. massage coco butter into marks
3. use vitamin E oil on marks after shower

also there is a thing called tretinoin cream but you need a prescription so go see your doc and ask them about it or what they think you should do

and eating A, E, C vitamins is supposed to help along with zinc, and eating foots with fatty acids(regenerates cell walls or something)
