I have stretch marks on my knees and I've had them since I was 14. They just suddenly appeared and I've been self conscious of them since. One day I noticed I have stretch marks on my butt either my right or left cheek I can't remember. It's only on one side and I don't know when I got them or how long they've been there. But because I have them I feel like a guy will be disgusted by them. I also feel like wearing a bikini or any swim suit bottom will be embarrassing since it'll show. But then again you'll really have to look closely to actually see it which won't be a problem for a guy because they stare women down and check them out hardcore, especially on the beach.
People get them from the skin having to stretch too quickly. Growth spurts are weight gain just like gaining muscle or fat.
They always come from weight gain. There are no pure vs impure reasons. Some people get them from a little weight gain, , some done from a lot of weight gain... depends on the genetics, and how quickly your change how good your nutrition was.
No matter the reason they are considered flaws in the skin bc they are literally breaks in the fiber.
Most people are not crazy and don’t care. But some do. The skin has been affected that is why they are considered a flaw. Like scars. Most people have scars. Some think it’s hot.
I’ve never heard a guy talk about stretch marks. Like it seems to be a purely woman thing, where you the woman hates the ones you have, so you assume that men also hate them.
At most, young teenage boys brainwashed by porn might think stretch marks are gross.
But once you start dicking hoes down, you’ll see like, all of them have stretch marks.
And sometimes, when you’re inside her, getting ready to cum, and you see her hips and some stretch marks on them, somehow it brings out the animal in you and your orgasm is even better. I dunno. Maybe that’s just me. But feminine beauty is not just what’s in magazines and photoshop.
Because society has gone off the deep end and lost all standards based in rational thought. Personally, I do not mind stretch marks at all. I really like chubbier girls, and they tend to have stretch marks, so it never bothered me.

I guess it’s because of most people’s preference. They want everything to be perfect. So, they don’t want someone with stretch marks. I don’t have a great self esteem as it is and this makes things a bit worse. It’s usually the younger people though. I suppose it has something to do with maturity. I like stretch marks on other people, but not myself.
Because some people just want super flawless skin like a doll. And seeing moles, scars, stretchmarks, etc on your body removes that aspect. Yes, it makes you look real and like a human, but I guess some people just really want to look "perfect" even though that's impossible. I personally don't find them ugly. I have a tiny bit on my butt that are barely noticeable. But I find the ones that are very noticeable and extreme like on the tummy to not be very attractive.
Probably because they're technically scars (scar tissue)? I have them on my breasts, butt, hips and lower back after I lost 10kg in 2 months and then gained it back gradually over a year, but also due to puberty. I don't think they're a bad thing personally. It's only natural that our skin stretches when our bodies change
everyone expects us to be perfect at all times.. its sickening
I've never heard a guy complain about them, i think its just a woman thing, or maybe its pushed by skincare companies as a flaw to sell more products
On a personal opinion I think everyone has a stretch mark someday or the other and is okay with it. It's only when their in front of public they feel bad as people in whole have made it sound like a taboo.
Cos they are a flaw. Like a spot, a bump, or a mole. Now, some people don't mind moles and some others even like them. The issue is that, for some reason, the opinion of the guys who wrinkle their nose and say "disgusting" tend to prevail over the million others that say either I don't care or "I like them". So, then women believe that we all belive they are disgusting.
I have stretch marks on my stomach, boobs, thighs, etc. Pregnancy completely changed my body, but I love each and every one of them.
I love when my husband traces them lightly with his finger tips too.
Genuinely didn't know they were seen as a flaw until I read this post.
I didn't even know they had a name. It's sad that women's looks are nitpicked so much that we have all these names
I think stretch marks are pretty cool actually, like tiger scratches. I have stretch marks even tho I’m fit and I just think they’re cool.
I have some stretch marks on my butt too, it's very normal, I personally like them. They look like lightning yk
To me, they are not a flaw at all. I see no problem with them in the slightest
I have stretch marks on my pecs and shoulders
I think its seen as a flaw because the skin looks imperfect
If someone is bothered by strech marks then they are just immature and have unrealistic expectations, you don't need someone like that in your life.
I dont really care about stretch marks, only when they are extreme from severe weight gain or something.
But if its related to pregnancy I couldnt care less. Thats a beautiful thing
think of stretch marks as a tiger you earn them strips
I don't get it either. Unless I like squint really hard I can barely even see them in person. I guess there are just some people who are grossed out by them but I don't think it's a super common thing
90% of guys don’t care. 90% of women are worried about them. It’s probably due to photoshop.
I love my stretch marks. Stretch marks honestly different and pretty cool
