you're really good looking. I looked through your pics. you have nothing to worry about
agreed
but to answer your question, I am pretty indifferent about strech marks...everyone has them. I think girls make a bigger deal out of them. considering that you are overall a really attractive girl, caring about something like stretch mark is really trivial.
i would consider myself a "pickier" kind of guy because well I am not bad looking myself and have always been around pretty girls (my mom, my sister, girls I dated) so I have those standards. you are a pretty girl, so remember that instead
of picking apart random little flaws that everyone has and worrying about them. plus those little "flaws" are what makes people individually good looking and interesting anyway. just have confidence in yourself...you are hot! I'd be real happy to have you as my girl.
Awww, you're very sweet..thanks for the words <3
Most guys I know are indifferent about stretchmarks but find a girl more attractive if she doesn't have them.
Kind of like you're cute but would be cuter thing.
Not self conscious about stretchmarks since I don't have them or will get them thanks to my genes.
Sidenote: They have dermatological stuff for that? I thought those things were permanent.
Yes, there are dermatological treatements that won't get rid off them, but will make them look better, not too revealing.
Thanks I was beginning to question my anatomy & physiology knowledge.
does the dermatologist just prescribe a special cream cause I have stretch marks too:S
I have some on my chest and they kind of bother me when I really think about it. I got them when I was in probably 7th grade or so when my chest got kind of big really fast. They've all faded but I can still see some small indents where the pink scars were before. Both girls and guys get them so any guy saying they're gross is very shallow.
Are guys physically perfect? NO I am not sure why they expect a woman's body to be. As long as I am fit, they should worry about it. If a guy said or had a problem with something as minor as stretch marks I wouldn't talk to him, he's too shallow. I would point out, I didn't laugh or get mad when I saw how small your d*** was, your gutt, and scars on your body...if you can't accept me for who I am , you don't deserve my love
and if he is complaining now, and you are thinking of having a serious relationship with him, what do you think he will be saying after you have a few of his bastard kids? Stay away from guys like that...shallow guys make bad boyfriends anyway. ...i learned this from experience
I have stretch marks by my armpits and chest, its because I used to work-out a lot back in high school for wrestling and gymnastics, and in college for class. I don't work-out as much anymore so I lost a lot of muscles, but you can tell I used to work-out a lot because I still have the broad shoulders and chest...and the stretch marks...unfortunately...I wish I had something to get rid of them.
why would someone give this comment a thumbs up or a thumbs down? I don't get it..
Honey, you look gorgeous!
Guys wouldn't even notice unless you pointyou point them out. So, just don't.
Aww Sally, thankyou <3 You're so nice :)
Depends how bad, but most girls do have stretch marks however faint somewhere on their body and that's fine. I expect some on her ass but it's no big deal. Also a lot of girls tan and I guess it hides them.
I wouldn't worry about it too much. As long as they're not on your boobs you should be fine.
I don't consider stretch marks on other to be a turnoff. just the ones on me. I'm horribly self conscious about mine. they have blended into my skin tone by now, but still, I see those long, scraggly bits of shiny skin, and I instantly hate them. I always feel like, as soon as someone sees them, then are sickened. I'm stuck with them, so you'd like I would adjust, but I just can't seem to be happy to accept the fact that I have them. :\
In my opinion, stretch marks are way too minor to obsess over. I've got them on my sides, hips, and upper arms. Most are skin-colored, but some are darker and I don't really care. I used to hide the ones on my arms, but then I thought, why? Do I really care about the opinions of complete strangers? The only person who seemed to give a crap was me. So I got over it :) I love my body.
If you're confident, the guy won't even notice them :) I have them and guys never say anything at all.. Tease him with the good things you do have!
However if you're worrying and hiding them, he's gonna ask whatsup and notice that you're not confident in yourself... That itself is a turn off!
its unattractive to me if someone has dull skin or bad teeth because that indicates bad health,
but stretch marks, scars, birth marks, they don't bother me at all, who cares?
i have a scar running up my leg that I can tell you without seeing them is more noticeable than your stretch marks and I have never tried to hide it or wasted time feeling embarassed about it.
I have them on my thighs and cannot stand it... there not too noticable because theyre now my skin color after my growth spurt in high school but anytime I go to the tanning bed, the tanner I get the more noticeable they get.. but from my understanding I've never met a man who noticed them and cared.. any man who noticed them told me I was ridiculous for caring and that theyre no bigge but ofchourse were still annoyed by them. that's life, none of us are perfect and some of us women strive to be no matter what.
It's really not a big deal. You're attractive and like you said, it's 80% better now, so why worry about the remaining 20%. It'll most likely fade with time. I have stretch marks on my biceps back when I used to lift and have a few on my stomach when I got fat. I try not to stress about it much.
they don't bother me at all, unless theirs a lot of them, even then iam not that shallow. nothing to fuss about really. I got them in high school from weight lifting. I was kind of self conscious of them at first but then I realized its just a sign of progress being made.
eventually they will heal turning from a purple color to normal skin color. at least on me they were purple at first, then they returned to my skin color.
It depends on what causes the stretch marks and where they are. I've been both turned on and turned off by them. If she's got them around her arms or stomach, I'm turned off. If I see them around the breasts because she went through rapid development, I've VERY turned on. I remember seeing a girl one day that had the perfect hourglass shape, butt, and breasts. When I saw the stretch marks around her breasts I about grew a boner right there.
Thanks for answering.
Lol no way; I have them on my breast and I think guys would either overlook it or not like them. No one else in my fam has them; all the women are small B cups to A's, (I'm almost a C,) rapid development...now I know :)
LOL yea sweetone... For a girl of healthy weight, having them around the breasts turns me on. Maybe I'm just weird.. But I don't expect, nor do I even want, a FLAWLESS girl. Flawless women turn me off.
I have stretch marks but that's from weight lifting. I consider them "battle wounds" and I'm proud of them :)
i used to have them ALL OVER my boobs it was so embarassing! DX I'm a ginger and the purple really stood out on my pale skin :((
i googled stuff about stretch marks and it said they never go away but they did. COMPLETELY.
THANK. GOD.
then I noticed I have then like that on my butt also? w/e I was always SUPER skinny, I had to take special bars and shakes when I was young to gain weight, I guess betting bigger boobs and a bigger butt was too much for my skin..
They disappeared? Or just blended in with your skin tone?
I really hate my stretch marks got them from losing then gaining weight then losing weight again. Now I'm at a size I'm comfortable at and I got gross stretch marks...I have them on my hips, thighs, and arms. I would definately like to get those dermatological treatments that you're talking about...I would do anything to make them look better it would also make me feel better in a bathing suit
Thanks for answering,
Yeah I have them, but I don't worry about them. I honestly hardly ever notice, because you have to be real close or looking for them. They won't prevent me from wearing a swimsuit or even a bikini.
And, my boyfriend certainly doesn't care. He has some too, and I don't care either. I actually think they're kind of attractive.
Yeah! Good for u!
Haha, thanks :) There are bigger things on my person to worry about than my stretch marks like toning up my arms and belly, and it's not like those make me cry alone at night either.
You have to like what ya got. How can you expect someone else to accept you if you can't even do? Love yourself; you are the only one who's going to do it every single hour of your life.
I wouldn't mind, maybe I wouldn't even notice. Flaws can be a good thing, I have tons of them.
Thanks for answering.
I have stretch marks on the sides of my butt :/ and I'm quite slim. It bothered me at first too but now I'm used to it. At least I haven't got... stretch marks on my face... Now that would be gross lol. Don't worry lots of girls have them but guys are so used to looking at girls in the media they forget that girls are not perfect... we're natural.
