Girls: Is loose skin a turn off to you? Please be honest...

[Anonymous]

Hi girls,

I`m 22 years old and I lost 100 pounds.

I've been working out for a while and I have some definition,I look quite muscular when I`m dressed but I still have some loose skin around my belly button.

It is not that noticeable when I`m standing up but if you touch my belly you can feel I have some loose skin.

People say I`m very good looking but they don`t know my body isn't perfect...I never really had a girlfriend because I`m afraid she`d be turned off by my loose skin around my stomach once I take off my shirt...Many girls wanted to date me but I always said NO...As you may guess,I`m still a virgin due to my lack of self confidence...Be honest please...Is loose skin a turn off to you?Oh,I have some stretch marks to but I`m treating them with retin-a.

Surgery is a very unrealistc option,my health insurance does not cover it because my loose skin isn`t that bad...

it takes some time but you're skin will shrink. but it will take a few years. just get some information on the internet on food and stuff.

now, 100 pounds is not THAT much so I think it will shrink quite OK. if it doesn't you don't really need to get a surgery (tummy tuck). and I wouldn't even recommend it because of the scars, but you can get some laser treatment that will help. lasers are getting better these days and they give relatively great results. look up "laser skin tightening." I don't think it would costs you that much.

I`ll look for such skin tightening treatments...thanks for letting me know :)

Stretchmarks are caused by regular growth as well so they aren't as big a deal. If you are into shallow girls then I would say they would mind. I personally don't think it would bother me if its so little you can't notice it with clothing on. No one is perfect and if you are good looking and nice you've already got loads going for you!

You're perfect, don't worry about it. What would turn a girl off is your lack of self confidence, has nothing to do with that area, so I suggest working on that.

[Asker]

I`ll try to work on that,thanks for the tip ;)

[glacialacid]

Your welcome, and thanks for choosing me ;)

Isn't that bad in my eyes. To me, it's just like a pimple. Will disappear with time. If your working out, it'll go away, just like a pimple. :)

[Asker]

I`ll try to see it as a pimple lol,thank you

[upsyndrome]

Nope, as long as it's not extreme I wouldn't care.

[okenel]

can you afford surgery to remove it?
