I have a scar on my arm and I was wondering if it is a turn off for some people. If you have had scars please feel free to share your experience.
Do you find scars gross?
I have yet to see one I couldn't get passed. Smaller lighter ones can even be attractive, a sign of an interesting life. Really bad ones especially on the face obviously can be kind of ugly at first glance but it really doesn't take away from someone's attractiveness once you get used to it and still is a sign of an interesting life. Honestly like even if a girl's face is totally burned off or something, it's something I can get used to and does not really ruin her attractiveness for me. That's something that comes from seeing that sort of thing and coming to terms with it, seeing that it's just skin, nothing gross, and a person there. I do think that for others who have not really thought about it or seen any, that they would find severe scars to be ugly and a turn-off.

Look I really hated my scars, because they were.. Self inflicted (not cutting or self harm).. When I was younger I got into a deep state of depression, ate so much and got extremely fat in a short amount of time.
That left me with stretch marks all over my body, they are white now because I lost a lot of weight and got in better shape, but the scars are there and they always made me feel... Ugly
Until I met a very nice woman who explained to me it's all in my head, they don't look that bad, and you only notice them if you concentrate a lot on them.
Same with most other scars, they are just there, and sometimes they can be cute.
I got a tiny keloid scar on my hand, after accidentally burning myself with a match. Growing up, I also have this faint white scar on my bottom lip, which I got after landing face-first into the concrete and busting my lip. You can barely see it now, but it used to be much more visible, and made me really self-conscious. I also have 2 medium-sized scars on my right leg, the remainder of a motorcycle accident last year.
They don't bother me as much as they used to, but I can't say I'm really confident exposing them, especially the ones on my leg. But I gradually learned to not give much thought to them. Plus, they make for some interesting conversations.

I don't believe so. I was an avid soccer player for about 11-12 years and in a final game, tore my part of my MCL, both my lateral and medial collateral ligaments, and clean through my ACL. My ACL had to be completely replaced with animal cartilage because they could not repair it.
I now have a long surgery scar on my knee and don't play in college.
But, hey, to my guy friends they think it isn't gross and not to worry. so I'll take their word for it.

Scars aren't bad or nasty at all. I rather find them beautiful.
I honestly was ashamed of my scars on my knees and my forehead for a quite long time, but accepted them as a part of me. I got them from a car accident in 2013 with my co-workers when we were on the way to our company's Christmas party.

I work as a chef, got some nasty burns on my arm, my wife don't care about but i do. Never had the urge or need to cover it with long sleeve shirt or a tattoo. Other wise i have 6 scars beside the one on the arm and i don't give much thought about it.

I don't. I have one scar on my back it's around 5-6 cm, and one really tiny on my lip but people don't really notice it.
Also my sister had a heart surgery as a kid and she had like 15 cm scar in the middle of her chest and it doesn't look bad.
It's just skin. -
Depends on size entirely. A nastly scar can definitely be a turn off its important to understand that unless ypu know the person people often take what they see infront of them as to who someone is. But it depends from me.

I've got a few doozies. Some are badges of honor, some are just evidence of more foolish moments in my life. I wouldn't give up a single one, or the memories that go with them. I would argue that someone without scars has yet to truly live life.
-
Scars are not a big deal, it is however your story and a great conversation waiting to happen.

I have a scar on my hand from an accident when I was around 12 and three small scars on my stomach from appendicitis. I didn't like them at first, but now I'm trying to look at them as signs that I've lived, and that each mark is part of the story of my life etched into my body. I don't know if it's a turn off or whatever for people but I know that they are a part of me, and my previous partners have never had vocal issues with them :)

It's not likely that I'll have a problem with it. If someone does they're simply not mature enough to accept it at our age. Later on I'm pretty sure no one will care.
-
It'd have to be a really bad scar for me to to have even a slight issue with it. Even then, it would probably make me more interested in the story behind it than it would be a turn off.
-
Studies have been shown that minor scars even facial ones on women have no impact on how attractive the woman is thought to be (men are actually deemed more attractive with them.)
-
I like my scars, each was a memory and the attached proof. Now they fade away and the memories fade with them.
-
Self inflicted ones, especially near main arteries are terrible and do not tell a nice story. If you fell on your butt once it's fine
-
I find they add to her uniqueness, like a birthmark
-
I feel like everyone has scars, just in different ways, so scars ain't bad at all, I got some on my knuckles and I got one next to my eye

I find scars to be interesting. Each and everyone of them, physical or psychological, have a story behind them.
-
I don't think there is or ever should be people who have a problem with scars. No matter what, they tell your story. Be proud of your story.
-
I miss the "I don´t care button". Wouldn´t turn me on/off. Other things are more important than a scar. The butt for example *_*
-
No, I love scars and the stories that come with them.
-
Scars don't add or take away what a person is to me.
-
From my experience it's best to hide them. A lot of people I've met ghost me when they saw some of the cuts and burns I did to myself
-
No, you can get past looking at them for sure
