This is a question for guys. I have a huge scar like all down my left leg ..its a skin graft from a burn...I was wondering if this would be a turnoff or not. My family and friends say its nothing to worry about and its not that bad, but I can't seem to find the confidence to go out in shorts and/or bikini. what do y'all think? brutal honesty would be appreciated
When I was 17, I realized I had a bunch of moles on my arm. I thought they were really bad, so that summer, I wore long sleeve shirts the whole summer, so no one would see them. I made myself miserable, just to hide the "flaw" that I had. A few months later, I just accepted the fact that I have them, and wasn't self conscious about them. Now I don't even notice that they are there. I have never had anyone comment on them or stare at them. So many times, we think we have a "flaw" when in reality, it's nothing at all. If you have a scar, so be it. It's part of you, nothing to be self conscious about. If a guy truly likes you for who you are, and everything about you, he's not going to reject you because you have a scar. But just accept the fact that it's part of you, and realize that you're the one that is going to focus on it, because you know it's there. Anyone else probably won't even notice it.
Though I understand why you're self conscious of your scar - I don't think that it would be a make or break a guy being interested in you. If you were to have your scar showing, I don't think that it would draw attention for negative reasons. Most of the attention would be from simple curiosity - people trying to figure out what happened and why. The more a person is exposed to something, the more used to it they get. If you were to just show the scar daily, at first people who see you often would probably ask about it or stare - but in time it would just be another part of you. Basically, "old news". Also, your attitude towards your scar will pretty much set the tone to people's reaction. If you don't make a big deal out of it, not hiding it or being evasive about it, most people will pick up your cue and not make a big deal out of it as well. It's part of you, might as well love it. I had an emergency c-section with my third child. I have a vertical huge scar bisecting my lower belly. It wasn't even stapled back correctly - looks a little, uh, warped. It doesn't bother me at all, mostly because it was necessary for my son to be born healthy. I don't try to hide it (wore a bikini all summer), and when people ask what happened or stare too much, I just wink and tell them it's an old scar I got from being in the CIA. Most people overlook it because it's such a tiny part of what makes up the whole of me. Scars just show that you got hurt and you were strong enough to heal ... it's a badge of survival. Be proud of it. Good luck.
well I know this question is for the guys but...i have to say that scars are nothing to be ashamed of! I have I don't know how many scars and I'm proud of all of them. I'm seriously happy when I get a new scar XD. I've found that guys don't really care about them at all, and when they do they think they're cool looking. Also scars show that your adventurous, but that's just imho. Hope this helps! =]
Thanksgiving is right around the corner and just like the last year and the year before, you will most likely spend it with your family. And just like everyone else, you have a crazy uncle or an...

I am so often inspired by the questions, answers and comments on GIRLS ASK GUYS and in the case of this article, I have to say that that I was especially moved to write. This time, the idea of...
"I look nothing like the girls from Sex and the City" "My body isn't even close to the bodies in the magazines" "My boobs are too small" "My boobs are too big" "I have a ghetto booty" "I have no butt"...
