Of course, acne by itself always looks bad. No one ever found a zit attractive. There is a reason why there are treatments for acne. And everyone looks good with clear healthy skin.
But my question is, can acne make someone look less attractive overall? Or you don't bother because it's just a temporary thing and the person having it still looks as attractive as they do?
It doesn't bother me at all, acne is normal and it doesn't make anyone uglier.
It doesn't bother me only to an extent. Too much acne looks bad.
I voted B. I know full well that if you take care of your diet and your skin, but you still have acne, there's probably very little you can do without taking medication, like roaccutane. And those are extremely "toxic", they can wreak havoc on your body, and during treatment many people suffer from quite severe symptoms. I wouldn't expect anyone to go through that if they don't want to. But with that being said, severe acne does "lower" someone's attractiveness to me. I don't think too much about a pimple here and there, or the occasional outbreak, but acne in general is just not very attractive. That doesn't mean it's a total dealbreaker for me, but I just don't think it's as attractive as clear skin.
Acne is part of teen years and even young adult years as well. Sometimes, no matter how well you take care of your face, a few pimples are bound to show up here and there, especially when you’re more prone to acne. There’s not much you can do to help it. Anyone who says acne is a dealbreaker is foolish because it’s just one of those things people can’t control. And it goes away eventually. As long as you don’t look like a braille board, it’s not a cause for concern 😂
If a girl has bad acne... it does have a major impact on how attractive she will appear. I mean it's natural... it's like giant spots covering your face... ofcourse a guy is going to notice it...
Having said that... there are obviously other factors to consider as well... she might otherwise have a great personality and outstanding features... so yeah it all gets taken in to consideration... also acne doesn't have to last forever... it can be treated pretty easily... so again more to consider...
But yeah if I met an average girl for the very first time and she had really bad acne.. it will probably scare me off a little at least until I actually got to know her...
Define 'acne' because everybody gets a few spots here and there due to stress or hormones. If you're talking about serious acne e. g. cystic acne, to be honest for me yes it's a deal breaker, I mean I hate to say this but it just looks 'unclean'. I used to know a guy who had probably the worst acne I have ever seen, he was average looking but all those big red lumps with white heads all over his face made him look greasy & dirty.
Luckily there is a lot of treatments for acne these days like accutane or just going to the doctors getting blood tests and correcting imbalanced hormonal systems, such as he did.
I wash my face two-three times with cleanser and several more times throughout the day with water. And I still get breakouts. I dare you to call MY skin dirty! 😂
Obviously acne is not something that enhances your beautiful. For sure. But what we should keep in mind is that almost everyone have acne at different degrees. Even people who don’t have severe acne do have some pimples. It is natural and not that ‘disgusting’. Sometimes your partner might have pimples but you don’t even notice it, because finally it’s not big deal and we all have ones. Think about Kendall Jenner, even her have acne
It's hard to say because I am usually the one with acne, have had it since like 12 years, got it from my mother, both me and my sister struggle. I have tried all there is and met more dermatologists than anyone ever should. It only got better when I was prescribed specific contraceptive pills, they balanced out the hormones more or less, now I only get acne if I eat junk and sweets.😥
I really have empathy for people who have acne because I had it when I was a teenager (from age 12 to 15) and I had to take Acutane to get rid of it. It took a serious toll on my self-confidence: I felt ugly, gross and unsightly. I decided I would never judge or reject anyone just for having acne. In all honestly, maybe it would have been a deal-breaker I had never suffered from it myself.

I'm 28 and still have some acne albeit a hell of a lot less than when I was a teen. It's a part of life for most people. Some people are lucky and may only get the one or two blemishes and others get riddled. I'd be lying if I said it didn't make someone less attractive, but if it's a deal breaker for someone then you're better off without that person anyways.
I've had crushes on guys with pretty bad acne. They kind of seemed more attractive, in a sense. I think it makes men look more masculine. Then again, I have acne myself, so maybe I overlook things like that.
I had severe cystic acne that I had to treat with accutane. No, it is not at all a deal breaker with me. I know people are still beautiful with or without it. Some of these comments honestly disappoint me.
I don't think so. If they don't address it then I might have an issue. I find people who take care of themselves and their lives attractive, if they just let it get out of hand I will think they are lazy. So it's not the acne but how it's handled that I would find attractive or not.
Handling acne isn't easy especially if it's hereditary. Acne for other causes can be cured but if it's something that runs in the family and that's just how someone's skin and hormones are then skincare can only decrease them to am extent and not really clear them up. And medicines really fuck up the hormones and come with a lot of side effects.
Well yeah too much laziness is bad but try to be a little kinder 😂 not everyone who seems lazy on the outside is actually 'lazy'. They could be dealing with mental health issues or even physical issues.
I don't mind it at all. Of course, extreme conditions may be unattractive, but if girl has pretty face, I could get over it. Definitely not a deal breaker, in one way or another.
I would encourage my partner to find help for it. Nowadays acne can be prevented so easily. Clearasil, accutane and Spironolactone all clear up acne without too much side effects.
well its acne it can go away, sure for many guys its a deal breaker but not for me, if you are smart enough you can see that they are attractive without acne
Let's say you are a 9/10 without acne. If you get acne (like in the pic), you drop to 6-7/10. C'est la vie. It's a flaw, like many others (being too short, or too bald)
Acne isn't a deal breaker for me because I know it goes away and because I used to have awful acne and still deal with it some. Fake lips, however, are MAJOR deal breakers
Either or it doesn't really have an effect on me. Acne comes and goes there is treatment for it. As long as they have a great attitude and match well with my personality its all good.
It wouldn't bother me much if not at all, it certainly isn't a deal breaker, I base my standards on their personality and more permanent/long term things.
I had bad eczema growing up, I changed my diet, changed pretty much everything, but nothing worked, I finally found betnovate, and that cleared everything up... apparently certain doctors suggest's you don't use it on your face, but it was the only thing that worked for me.
The only thing I would turn down is a woman who has no respect for others or her self. A woman who has a filthy mouth a dirty attitude and lack of modesty
Completely smooth faces look too artificial to me, like a robot or something, I like the little imperfections to let me know they're human... if that makes sense.
No Ma’am! Acne would not be a dealbreaker. No one is perfect.

Honestly I have acne and if she has to deal with my imperfections why shouldn’t I deal with hears? I’m not looking for the perfect girl I’m looking for an imperfect girl that makes everything seem and be perfect.
No, acne might don’t look good but is not a stopper either. Having a flawless face skin is very rare to find too.

Howcome there is no choice for ''it bothers me''? lol looks like you want people to vote a certain way. There is even an option for ''it makes them cuter''.
@morimeme1 exactly. and I am not talking about one or two pimples. everyone gets those. I am talking about actual acne, like the girl in the photo, or people who have more than a few
It makes sense there to be cartain "extents", if you put "it bothers me" it still includes that one occasional pimple cause we are all human, but what came to my mind when I read "to an extent" was the girl in the pic, like real acne that is there more or less all the time, not clear skin that gets a pimple once every half a year.
@morimeme1 you're right, but rarely people get spots so less often. With 80% people dealing with acne at some point in their life, option B is only realistic. I didn't feel the need to have two poll options that could basically mean the same thing in wording.
it would not mean the same thing at all. you've already done options with basically the same meaning cause you did not want people to vote that it may bother them. Now ''to an extent'' is very vague and could be wide range of answers. It does not bother me personally, and I have acne, that's why I'd like to know HOW MUCH it may bother others, but you picked options that you want people to choose afraid to see some of them vote ''no acne, healthy skin only''
@morimeme1 acne is temporary so I don't think you can just call someone's skin unhealthy for having acne.
That being said, either way the commenter had the option to either vote for the closest option available which was B, or she could have simply voted D, period. I'm outta here now.
I heard that from a few guys! About how they saw this one girl with acne and thought it just makes her look cuter. Too bad mine look like craters of the moon.
Makeup doesn't really flatten out a swollen pimple or fill out any craters left from acne scarring. It can correct the redness and scarring to an extent, but still it doesn't help a lot with texture.
Because she might not think she's attractive with acne. I would still think she's hot. Then a cute, but less attractive guy like me can possibly get a date with her. Maybe she's more loyal too because if her insecurity? Just a theory. Sometimes insecurities actually make people better people.
Insecurity is never a good thing. And it certainly doesn't make people more loyal. It might make disloyal people avoid adultery but as soon as the insecurity gone the loyalty is gone too 🤷
