How do you guys feel about a girl with acne?

It is ok to have acne, but not out of control

Well I too have a lot of acne, sure I like a girl with nice skin, but I would love perfect skin as well, but nobody is perfect, as long as its not like her whole face is covered in zits and acne, it won't matter, I mean it happens to everyone probably and if you care so much about acne, it is just for looks.

I do like girls with good skin, so acne is a bit of a turn off (for me). One little blemish isn't a problem, but a lot of acne looks nasty. It takes away from the skin tone and puts an aged look on the skin. I like to make eye contact with a girl, I don't want to end up staring at her acne.

I had acne for thirteen years, and was treated like shit the whole time. Eventually I had to buckle down and take Retin-A to get rid of it. My skin was dry, but it worked. Now I only get the occasional pimple if I've been eating greasy foods. I have some scarring, but thankfully for guys that's considered "character. "

Anyways, I tend to not be harsh toward women with acne because I've dealt with it myself. I still don't like it, and think they should be trying to treat it instead of searching for someone who doesn't care, or pretends not to. Maybe I have some latent hostility from all the treatment I had during that time of my life, but the lesson I got out of all of this is everyone is superficial to a degree. Taking the time and effort to present yourself as best as you can is important when attracting a mate.

How is your diet? Cutting out greasy foods and eating more whole foods is a good natural way to reduce the amount of oil your skin produces. I have changed my diet recently, and I've noticed it helps tremendously to prevent the minor outbreaks I get.

I hope you find a product that works. Just remember the acne isn't who you are, it's just something you are going through. Something you can overcome.

I know I'm not a guy, but I just have to chime in. I used to have bad acne as a teenager and oh my god did it hurt my confidence and self esteem. I still managed to date a lot of guys.

Remember acne goes away once you get older and being on birth control helps to regulate those hormones. If a guy doesn't like you because you have acne, then he is pretty much just a jerk and only cares about the physical appearance. Of course, without is always better (even from a personal perspective), but hey it's something we all have to go through!
