Is body acne a deal breaker?

[Anonymous]

Imagine you’ve been seeing someone for a while and they’re everything you could hope for and more.

When you undress them for the first time you notice that they have moderate to severe acne on their body. (Chest, back, butt, whatever.)

You know that they bathe regularly and can only deduce that it’s the result of a skin condition.

Would this ruin your ability to be attracted to that person?

Yes

No

Depends

Wow, you guys are restoring my faith in humanity.

I would take them to the best dermatologist possible and help do whatever needs to be done to help treat it. Not because the acne is unattractive, but because it can cause a lot of permanent skin damage, infection and complications later in life. But i prefer to be single, and appreciate that lifestyle because I will never have to worry about things like that.

Simple

Not for me because I understand the struggle. I no longer have it but i used to have severe acne on my chest, back and face. I was so insecire and didn't want to wear anything that could show my chest or back. I felt really ugly. But I'm good now but i understand if someone has their insecurities. So i wouldn't make it a dealbreaker

Nobody... no body is flawless. My dude has it on his back a little... and I still gladly rub his back, pop them bumps when he asks. You'll be fine don't over wash it, as that can irritate acne more actually. I use natural ph balanced (5.5) soap with lavendar oil in it so it helps to fade the blemishes as time goes on.

[Asker]

Thank you.

I infused my body wash with tea tree and lavender. It’s working well so far.

[LaBrownEyes]

That's good. Ofc don't expect photoshop results especially quickly. Time is important.

Well, I would be turned off by the idea of him not taking care of himself, but if as you say he showers regularly and its a skin condition of course i wouldn't be turned off. It's not his fault and he probably doesn't know how to deal with it. If I really liked him as a person i wouldn't really mind.

no tbh every one at some point in their life has had it, whether it is a little or a lot...
also i am attracted to personality so doesn't bother me one bit tbh...

I dated a woman years ago who had a lot of blemishes on her face, she was a great person... only reason it didn't work out was cos she was far too much like another of my closest friends who i classed as a brother... so became quite awkward tbh

[Miristheiss]

No, acne would never be a deal breaker. A natural short term blemish or a scar would never be a dealbreaker. I wouldn't care about that at all. Manmade tattoos would be. If she undresses and there is a tramp stamp or some panty line tattoo or intimant piercings. I would immediately know this is short term and she is not girlfriend material.

[gym4ever]

nope, i also shower at least 2times daily up to 4 times daily (ye i know, too much but life is boring haha) and i have a lot acne on back and sometimes on face too. can't remove them, but there is one therapy that is very strong and i need go to few tests etc... to start with that shit but im too lazy

[princessfromjupiter]

My housemate has the worst acne on her back and she found a boyfriend so you can definitely find someone!

[Asker]

Already have someone.

But thanks.

I had a lot of acne on my chest and back, but 2 years ago I started living healtier. I had no caffeine or any kind of soda for 2 years and I'm smouth as hell baby. I do have facial acne tho but It's part of pubery. :W

[9teen]

I'd be probably too busy looking at something else to notice.

It wouldn't bother me though. I get it on my back and sometimes on my chest too due to my hormones (not severe, just a little bit)

[Bananaman177]

No, not a deal breaker at all, but we are going to explore the hygiene regimen. I'll even help her scrub up if you know what I mean.

Cleanliness is next to Godliness, after all.

[hellacray]

Well skin condition or they have a crappy diet, or possibly a late sleeper.

Depending on how bad the acne is it could be a deal breaker. A little bit I would say is fine, I mean I don't expect anyone to be perfect.

[kay1523]

No way we're human. Like it or not we're all covered in red bumps, acne, bug bits, cuts, heat rashes, and razor burn.

[Mochli]

If she'd be anything I can hope for except for that condition and we're already really close I would'nt love her any less because of this.

[CarpetDenim]

It depends on how severe it is, but regardless I would recommend they get it treated.

[bingo012]

It's all dicks that should matter to you girls. Body is just a 2nd option.

[Asker]

It’s personality that matters.

Dicks and bodies are just a bonus.

[bingo012]

Girls these days are behind dicks only and nothing else.

[Asker]

Stop being the male version of a feminist. Lol

Not all girls are the same, not all guys are the same.

I’ll make a poll out of this and invite you. :P

[bingo012]

Sure

[Piteka5]

It's somethings natural, why would I be bothered, I judge what people can control themselves that is their character, people with good character always get my attention

[Anonymous]

Yaa probably coz i have it too and its just gross..

[Asker]

That’s kind of hypocritical don’t you think?

[Opinion Owner]

Yaa..

[Asker]

At least you’re honest enough to admit it.

*salutes*

[Opinion Owner]

Thank u..

[Asker]

by the way, tea tree and lavender essential oils will help you.

Tea tree oil kills any microbial it comes in contact with.

Lavender oil relieves swelling and helps prevent/treat scarring.

[Opinion Owner]

Thank u but i already Googled it..

[Opinion Owner]

I did all the research in that..

[Asker]

Have you tried it?

[Opinion Owner]

Naaa well I'm busy this whole week coz of exams, so didn't have time but I will try soon..

[Asker]

I hope it helps.

[Opinion Owner]

Yup..

I got lunch lady arms, I can’t start discarding people because they’ve got bacne

[dontgofalling]

We all got our shit, it ain't bad enough to be a deal breaker...

[isweatergawd]

Some females and males have certain thing that make then get bumps all over

[YHL6965]

It depends on how severe the acne is and how long it lasts.

[Eleni91]

No lot of times nothing she be able to do about it.

[SarahsSummer]

It’d be pretty shallow to think so.
