My boyfriend is insecure about his stretch marks?

[Anonymous]

So my boyfriend of 2 months recently opened up about his body issues. He had been overweight almost his entire life and as of 3 years ago he lost a ton of weight. To me he looks normal and I had never seen him when he was overweight. We haven't been intimite because we're waiting but he did open up about how he's never taken his shirt in front of a girl before because he has stretch marks because of the weigh loss. How do i get him to be more comfortable about it. I honestly like him for him and i wouldn't judge or even care about them. he's a beautiful person inside and out and i hate that he feels this way. How do I help?

Stretch marks are badass as fuck its a sign of growth let me explain;

Muscle: people who lift gain more muscle (growth) and if they get big they get deep ass stretch marks

Weight gain: more bodyfat the stronger you are.

Rapid weight loss: (think this is self explanatory)

Depending on your goals in life stretch marks are an amazong sign that their badass and sucessful in what their trying to do.

He'a badass

I'm in the exact same situation, I lost 100 pounds and I'm afraid girls will find it gross

You should not feel gross. Whether its excess skin or stretch marks it doesn't matter. You should be proud of yourself for accomplishing that!

Well it's not exactly "attractive" to look at

girls have a lot of things that we think are unattractive but guys don't care about! I used to have terrible acne and that was terrible to look at. But it didn't matter guys liked me for me and I had really good relationships. I find absolutely nothing gross about stretch marks it part of the human body and something most people have.

Hopefully other girls feel the same way :/

They will trust me. Most women have stretch marks too or will have them once they have children. Don't ever be ashamed of them.

I wish more girls were like you

There are plenty of girls out there with my similar views I promise (:

Build his self-confidence. That fact that he told u, shows how much your opinion matters to him. Show him, tell him it's okay and it doesn't matter.
