Girls, Would you ever date a guy with loose skin?

[Anonymous]

So, Say there was some guy, And he lost a lot of weight, and he got loose skin as a result of it, and his body looked like this, Would you date him (Marybe marry him and have a life with him too) ?

Before anyone says :

1) No, You cannot ''tighten'' this much loose skin, Dont give me that bulshit, Its physically impossible.
2) Surgery is out of the question to remove it, It simply costs too much money.

No, I wouldn't ever go near him, It looks too bad

I'd just friendzone him

Yes, I could put up with that

Please be honest, Dont just click some option to make yourself feel like a better person or something. Click which one you would HONESTLY do.

Its no good clicking Yes if in real life you would throw up going near him...

Keep in mind that after weight loss, the loose skin takes up to 2 years to get tighter and working out and building muscles can help a lot. In the end the person who has lost a considerable amount of weight might not look like someone who has never had any weight issues, but they can definitely improve the flabs with building muscles.
I don't think it's disgusting. To me, it's like a scar with a story behind it. Because every squer inch of that flabby skin proves how much dedication and will power that person has!

[Asker]

I understand it is possible to tighten loose skin, But only a couple of CM or an inch or two at max, This severity of loose skin cannot be tightened naturally, the only way to fix it is surgery which can cost upwards of $30,000 :/

[Glue-Sniffer]

I know... I have lost some weight too and i have flabby arms... i always cover them up and wear long sleeves or sleeves up to my elbows because I don't like the looks of my loose skin. I don't really think people notice or care as much as I do.
Besides, you are very young, you'll graduate and go to work and you can save up your money to get surgery in 8-10 years!

[Asker]

Im already 1/2 through college, And working too, But regardless, 30k is 30k ya know? a lot of fuckin money :(

[Lomlei]

@asker if you really feel uncomfortable, start doing some research for good Dr. for surgery in other countries that would be cheaper. Cheaper in other countries doesn't mean bad Drs. It means dollar currency in other countries has bigger value. Just like you put yourself a goal and lost all that weight, put your self a goal of money, once you do your research and in some years you will be able to have your surgery. If you are in America, Colombia is well known for good plastic surgery.

[whiteflowers]

Ewww no thanks it's the last thing that I want in my life.

[Asker]

I expected so, Thanks.

[whiteflowers]

Thanks for the mho :)

[Asker]

No worries, you were the only honest person.

[BeeNee]

People who all the time throw up their hands and say its hopeless, no one will ever like/love me are selling themselves short. We are not just our physical being. There is more to a lasting and loving relationship, then how you look. My last boyfriend had a birth defect whereby his fingers were fused and it didn't bother me because he was more than just a body part. For all the shallow people out there, why are obese people, bald people, disfigured people, or "ugly people" and on and on married or in relationships? It's because they found someone who wasn't hung up on their physical who did actually find them attractive. As someone pointed out, you may just be surrounded by a certain type of women that doesn't like that, but have you traveled to other places in your country or around the world and or met every woman on the planet? So how would you know if she's not out there yet? So yeah, maybe you haven't found the one just yet. That's a true statement for a lot of people.

[GirlsLie]

Honestly I don't really care about guys bodies that much, if he has an ok face and the other qualities that I like in a person then I would date him. I prefer a normal skinny looking guy but a body on a guy isn't a deal breaker for me, unless it's extremely over weight or extremely skinny.

You could always work out or continue to work out and just be healthy and take care of yourself, you might not lose the extra skin but you could still look good. I've seen so many women who lost a lot of weight, who have extra skin but they still have amazing shapes, some extra skin isn't that bad.

[willow74]

Yes. I was overweight at one point, and then adopted a healthier lifestyle. I got lucky, though, and got away with just a few stretch marks, but no loose skin. But I'm familiar with the struggle and the insecurities and emotional pain that comes with it. If anything, i would admire him for his accomplishment.

[Lolomon]

So, loose skin wouldn't bother me at all. Plus do you see this dude you can see the ripped muscular body underneath the skin. that is hardwork and devotion that people who never had weight problems would never be willing to do. Al they have to do is drink protein shakes. Weight problems are a serious of eating disorders, hormonal imbalance, mental issues, genetics.. etc Id date him, marry him and have a life with. Now, if only men felt the same way about women who have loose skin.

[Asker]

Im siliar to him, I mean, My loose skin isn't as bad as his, But.. Well, If you can stretch the skin where my moobs use to be by like 2 inches.

I think im in no place to judge women with loose skin.

[Lolomon]

you worked hard , nobody can deny you that. I know forsure that there will be a surgery in the next 5 years that will tighten skin up without surgery and will be more than half of the price of traditional skin removal. And there will be a cream that will literally eliminate stretchmarks. Friend of mine is about to open up her own clinic, so i know these things. She says they are all in there testing period before they come out on the market. So there is hope, even so loose skin wouldn't turn me off

[Asker]

I apprecaite the optimist, But, we both know this shit it just a fast pass to dying alone :(.

Have a nice day.

[Lolomon]

no dont think that way. you won't die alone

[vishna]

I would get to know him and like him before I ever saw him shirtless or naked.

And if he was a great guy and treated me well, then yes, I would absolutely give him a chance.

I'm not a face person, or a body person. I date for the personality and how I'm made to feel. That's it. Initial attraction is great, but I can get over pretty much anything.

[mysterymo]

Absolutely yes I would. He probably worked hard to lose that weight. Besides that though everyone has imperfections. I wouldn't want him amy guy judging me or avoiding me because of something so insignificant. As long as he had a good personality (not a douche) and I found him attractive, the loose skin wouldn't bother me at all.

[PhatGirl74]

Yes, of course I would because physical appearance is not what I look for in my significant other. Why does his body have to matter? If he is a sweet, nice, kindhearted person and has a great personality that you like then his body shouldn't phase you. People need to learn how to love people for who they are not what they look like.

[GreatPerhaps]

That wouldn't bother me, do you know the type of mindset that comes with a man who over came this obstacle? he's strong mentally and now physically. That's attractive that he wanted better for himself and look at him now. He's someone Who can achieve what he sets his mind too😍 that's attractive!

[Babyapple]

It's an interesting question. I think I wouldn't mind it in private but I'm not sure how I'd feel to go to the beach with you. is that terribly shallow? I think it is. Sorry. Probably because I'm not that comfortable with my looks either so I need a 'normal' looking person next to me...

[Justacatlady]

I did answer yes, but... It would all depend on the guy. If I am being honest, it would have to be that connection that you don't have with anyone else. It would have to be quick and come on strong or I would friendzone him.
I would like to point out that surgery isn't always super expensive. And if you can get a doctor to say that the folds of skin are causing medical issues, you can get some covered by insurance.
:-)

[LightsOff]

Honestly I would have to love him a lot in order to accept that. That simply just does not look good at all. It's great that he has lost the weight but the saggy skin makes his body look like he's 80 years old. Not really a turn on and would be hard to get around during sex. But if I truly loved him, there wouldn't be much else for me to do but accept it.

[Anonymous]

YES I could be with a man with loose skin. Why? because it shows he worked hard to lose weight! and I too lost 100 pounds and have some skin on my thighs. Thankfully it's not horrible but I still hate it. A man like that would understand a woman's loose skin and imperfections.

If you have loose skin don't let it bother you! embrace your body and work on loving yourself and the right girl will love you for you, not just your body.

[Anonymous]

It honestly depends. I mean if this guy approaches me, shirtless, and asks for my number, even if he's attractive I'll probably say no.

But let's say I befriended him, realized that I sincerely loved him, and then I saw how his skin was... it would be a turn off but I would still want to be with him.

[Anonymous]

Why wouldn't they want the surgery would be my question... there'd a payment plan for all expensive things... but to be honest, if a guy didn't have enough money to take care of himself would be my deal breaker :(

I think just because they dont have money or drive to make something to fix something that bothers them... if they are trying to yes though :D

[Asker]

You do realise this surgery costs $30,000 right? I don't know about you, but i dont, nor likely will ever have $30,000 lying around.

[Opinion Owner]

Im sorry :( it must be stressful, you can vent if you want

[Asker]

Eh its fine, Nothing will change, So, May aswel just learn to live with it i guess.. :/

[Anonymous]

Wow, it took that much courage and motivation to do something life-changing! It's not all about physical appearances and if you got healthier because of it then it was well worth it. Sure, nobody is perfect and there is always something we want to change about ourselves but let those be your battle scars you wear proudly and don't be ashamed of your victory! If a girl can't appreciate your effort and ambition then she's a superficial idiot!

[Anonymous]

I'm not a body person anyway. I'm all about the face. A guy could have the best body in the world but he'd be worthless if his face is ugly. Honestly in my opinion a good looking body is a waste if the face is ugly.

I've dated men of different sizes. I've never gone for a body type, so I would give him a chance as long as the face makes up for it.

You'll never stand a chance though if the body looks like that and the face is ugly. Sorry.

[Asker]

My face isn't bad, I mean, I did a thing on here, And it averaged out a 8/10. So, Im not worried about my face really, Infact its probably the bit on my body i like the most, Its just my body is such a hard let down ya know?

[Opinion Owner]

You already have your foot in the door then. In my opinion, a good looking face makes up for a lot.

[CookieLyon]

I think he has other qualities that are Hot. His personality. His face it cute. He's strong. I follow him on YouTube. So u gotta have other things going for u.

I would date him. And it's not like his shirt Will me off all the time.

There's plenty of guys with moobs out there that have women.

People in wheelchairs, small people, one leg, etc find Love. No reason for him not to.

[LittleSally]

I like who I like...
That being said - I'd help him with regards to surgery - my dad is a doctor. =)

[Anonymous]

I have a bit of loose skin around my abdominal area due to pregnancy.
I would date him.
I can relate to this guy.
If I loved him enough I would help him save up for surgery so he doesn't always feel so down about himself.
All of that hard work he did to get his weight down... he deserves to feel great.

[Anonymous]

If I already knew beforehand than I wouldn't date him. If I date him and later he tells me about it I'd continue dating. But only if he's really handsome. If you don't have a hot body than you must be very good looking. If you're not handsome than you mist have a nice body. Although the latter is harder to deal with. Face is most important!

[9mfeo]

That doesn't bother me. Why are you assuming that all women are shallow, manipulative liars? Have you already been hurt so badly by women as to believe such nastiness?

[Asker]

Surely is the poll not evident enough that i am repulsive and women think so?

Read some of the opinions, ''Not attractive'', ''Repulsive''... etc. I think its pretty safe to say, Some of us just aren't meant to date. That shit is just hard to come to terms with though i guess.

[9mfeo]

As of right now, 58% of the respondents said they could date a person with loose skin. You're embittered and projecting. Get over yourself.

[Asker]

''Get over yourself''...

Sure, 58% said yes. Id say of that though, perhaps a good 30% are just saying it to seem like better people / cheer me up and in real life they would say no (Dont deny it, you know im right, people glorify ugliness on here all the time to make people feel better).
Im not being ''embittered and projecting'', I am just accepting reality here buddy.

[9mfeo]

You're what, like 16? You hate the world and believe the world hates you. You're not in a position to make judgements about the world because you do not yet understand it.

[Asker]

Haha, I don't hate the world, Nor do i hate the people. And, I don't believe the world HATES me, Hate is an awfully strong word, I just accept that, they dont exactly like me.

[9mfeo]

I would remind you that the world doesn't hate you - it doesn't give a shit about you. It doesn't give a shit about any single one of us.

[Asker]

Exactly, I dont believe anyone hates me, They dont like me, And do not care for the fact they dont haha.

Its chill though, Thats just life i guess.

[Starfishlover]

Let's just say that I have always been a lover of men with unique features. So yes I would date him. One day a man had third degree burns in his face and looked a bit like Harvey two face. But his body oooooh yeah

[SilenRose]

No. I would only date him if he planned on getting the surgery to remove it. Congrats to you on losing the weight!

[Asker]

Its not really easy to find $30,000 lying around to pay for it but.. i understand, thank you :(

[SilenRose]

I understand. If we were married to get married we'd probably have to just get married at the court house and use the wedding money to pay for the procedure. ;)

[bbylake]

Call me crazy but I find this attractive? It’s SO incredibly hard to lose weight especially enough to where you have excess skin— that kind of determination and mindset is fucking hot, that’s just the result of what comes along with it. So yeah, I’d absolutely date someone who looked like that, I’d prefer it.

[Nicole9356]

I don't see what the big deal is... As long as someone loves you and treats you good and makes you feel good.. besides why would anyone care about what some shallow hoes have to say? Just saying...

[vickiezalez]

I would. His courage and determination to achieve a goal that will benefit his health (and therefore his future family) is very attractive. Plus, he'll probably encourage healthy eating in his kids, even sexier!

[Kehaar]

If the guy was a great person and I loved him, I wouldn't give a shit. Looks is not everything, and it fades with time. Someday we'll all have loose skin, it's not the end of the world.

[oldlady]

I don't even think it's "put up with" that. I respect the amount of discipline it took to lose all that weight. Impressive!

[SakuraChii]

I don't understand it, this is only my second time seeing someone with loose skin. I don't find it attractive but that doesn't mean that I can't be his friend.

[Shushube]

I find it a little sexist that every single one of the women who wouldn't make love to an amazing man just cause of a little skin, would be screaming "PIG" at a guy just because he said the same thing to them.

It's all in the dark most of the time 😋and even if it wasn't you would have so many happy sex hormones running through your system you wouldn't care.

When you love what's on the inside you don't care what's on the outside.
