Do guys care about stretch marks?

[blunty]

I've just realized that I have little stretch marks on my upper legs. Is this annoying for guys? Do guys really care about stretch marks?

Stretch mark issues really depends on the person. Some men may be entirely unconcerned about stretch marks, recognizing them as a natural part of life. They understand that factors such as growth spurts, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and genetics can all contribute to their development. To these men, stretch marks do not detract from a person's attractiveness or worth.

On the other hand, some individuals may have different preferences or misconceptions about beauty standards influenced by societal pressures. They might be more critical or concerned about the presence of stretch marks. However, it's important to note that such attitudes are not universal, and many men prioritize qualities like confidence, personality, and emotional connection over physical imperfections.

Whether or not a guy cares about stretch marks often depends on his personal values, maturity, and understanding of the natural diversity of human bodies. Building a healthy relationship and open communication can help overcome any concerns related to physical appearance and foster acceptance and appreciation for each other's bodies.

I've been having stretch marks since I was 11/12. It used to bother me a lot when I was a teen and my mom used to buy me all kids of anti stretch mark creams that are only good for prevention it doesn't really do anything for existing stretch marks. Nowadays as a prevention I moisturize my skin daily and when I get pregnant and gonna take extra care too to prevent stretch marks but the ones I already have no longer bother me anymore.

Hey, they happen to the best of us, and it doesn't always mean that you are big or have lost a lot of weight. You can get them almost everywhere. Most often it can be heredity.

[MrOracle]

While they aren't desirable - meaning no one would have them if they had a choice - MOST men aren't going to be bothered by them to any real degree. There are a very small number of image-obsessed guys who might care, but if you are with one of those guys, you already have worse problems.

Most guys care about this as much as you care about what brand of tires are on his car.

Here’s what's important to most guys visually:

- don't be fat
- be clean
- dress and keep yourself in a feminine style, with most men preferring all-natural girls (no plastic parts, no tattoos or body piercings etc.)

If you do these three things, men are going to let the little things slide.

This has been asked, and asked and asked.. over and over. Short answer, No, Only women care about idiotic things like stretch marks.

What do guys think of small stretch marks on the hips and thighs?

Are stretch marks a turn off? Please be honest?

Would you date/marry a girl who had stretch marks on her body?

Be Honest ✋Are Stretch Marks On Boobs A Turn Off?

Guys do you think stretch marks are unattractive?

[DannyUk2017]

I'm not talking and tell my feelings and Love, and aroused, and desire to Your stretch marks, I'm doing all these With you, so you come with stretch marks or not i don't care... Either is the Whole Package or None. 🤷‍♂️

[Smashingdoozy]

The only women/girls that do not have stretch marks somewhere on their body are pre- pubescent children.

Nobody should care about them. It's normal to have stretch marks on your thighs, hips and breasts, just shows you grew rapidly through puberty.

[butterly248]

I never did think of it like that tbh

[Anonymous]

Id say if a guy actually cares about you and values you, that wouldn't even be something he pays attention to. I dont know about the rest. I know my boyfriend doesn't judge me for my flaws, i dont know about other guys or the guys from my past, couldnt care less anyway.

[madhatters4]

a little no. a LOT. i hate to say it but yes a Lot may change my impression of the physical beauty. but my wife has had two kids. has some stretch marks and i couldn't care at all

[Curmudgeon]

Younger people might, but for us oldsters, it comes with the territory, especially women with children

[Nirmroth]

Nope, if you're fresh to the gym you get stretch marks all over you in the first few months. Pretty normal stuff

[davado88]

oh christ not the gym AGAIN

[Nirmroth]

Helps so much

[davado88]

if you have the I. Q. of a potato perhaps

[Nirmroth]

Damn who hurt you?

[davado88]

i dunno lots of people but exercise is so innane.
waste of time, painful and any effect it has , disappears in 3 days

[Nirmroth]

Well it shouldn't be painful or you did something wrong.

I try to keep it short.
Excercise does multiple things for you.
1. It makes you happier in short and long run, training activates Endorphins, dopamine and serotonin. Happiness hormones.
2. It rises self-confidence trough the achievement of many small goals.
3. You will feel and are more motivated, balanced and healthy
4. You obviously will look better
5. Good to balance a office/sitting Lifestyle.

Thats not something I pulled out of my ass by the way but there's studies about it.

I simply think doing sports or going to the gym is part of healthy self care like grooming your face, caring for your skin and so on. You dont have to become a body builder, just 3 times a week for 1-2h will do you good.

For effects to last you obviously have to train multiple months, a pump usually lasts even less than 3 days but only a few hours, then blood will flood out of your muscles and they will shrink. You have to grow them to keep a visible effect and that takes time.

[Nirmroth]

And hey the rise in testosterone after a good training almost feels like you had sex in terms of how you think you could beat anything atm.

[RingOfFire]

I never know whether people are looking for the truth or only for personal validation with questions like this. It always appears to me that there is a lot of virtue signaling in most of the answers.

[aquamarine321]

Some do some don’t , it can be eye catching at times too, it all depends on the guy and what he cares about, because everyone can choose what they like and don’t like regardless of how you feel guys might feel about them

[Jdodkfndosn]

Yes and No. I don't mind seeing them in private but I also don't enjoy girls who rock the shortest possible jean shorts showing all those marks off to everyone either.

[Sasha0426]

Damn! They must be really confident. Good for them 😄

[MaddieMayMoo]

I think they are cute and if guys are really that superficial they probably aren't worth your time.

[davado88]

we are that superficial

[MaddieMayMoo]

Then you aren't worth the time lol

[davado88]

pff, go and play with your scars make yourself useful woman

[MaddieMayMoo]

Awww the man's upset, get over it cupcake

[davado88]

ok truth is thats life we all pick up scars along the way.. dont worry about it

[dpg91]

Not an issue at all. I have a few stretch marks of my own.

[ProbablyClueless]

I wouldn't care about that at all. I probably wouldn't even notice until I spent a lot of time down there lol

[LiamJHayden]

Some women are genetically predisposed to things like stretch marks and cellulite. Like skin, hair, and eye color, and height I do not care about those things she has no control over.

[AviatorTom]

Not really. There's nothing wrong with stretch marks.

[boggboss]

For the most part bo it's bot aomthing I care about

[tfan1]

I’m ok with it because it reminds me of what made those marks happen - when my wife had our son inside her ❤️👍🙂

[NeverGiveUp69]

I have no problem with stretch marks. 90% of the women I have been with has them. So do most guys. I have small ones by my biceps due to gaining and losing weight as a kid

[bowenw]

Personally I don't care and they are not annoying. Everyone has what they consider flaws.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I don't care about stretch marks

[Anonymous]
