Almost perfect body.... but covered in stretch marks :/

[SuckingurLollipop]

I feel like I have almost go the perfect body in my eyes link , but my genetics said noooo perfection for you. I have the worst stretch marks for a girl that has never had a child! I have them breast link on my arms on my triceps and biceps link my butt link my hips link my thighs inner and outer link and finnally on my calves link

I'm so embarrassed :/ I grew really fast and have basically been the same size since I was 12. When all the girls wear their summer clothes I stick to jeans and ¾ sleeves... Yesterday, it was 94°F but there I was in jeans and a long shirt. All of my friends went swimming, but I had to decline... I only go by myself at a stream where I know no one will be at. I'm so self conscious of these stupid scars.

Is there anything to do about them? I thought about getting a Yakuza styled full body tattoo. At least I wouldn't be ashamed of the visual scars if you can't see them as well...

Is the first picture you? If so; jesus, uh. God.

Anyway uh.. Like, man, nobody cares. I, personally, like them a lot. But I've never met anybody who minded them - in fact I've never met anybody who noticed them. Listen... I'm a cook. Every day I am in a changing room with 16 other dudes, and they talk chicks. When they talk chicks, they talk about chicks who are ugly. What comes up is; Fat. That's basically it. Like literally, that's all. In order to be attractive to most dudes, or at least acceptable, you just have to no be fat. And for most *hip* guys, fat isn't a problem, and for a lot of guys it's a good thing. So, really - you can't lose here, basically.

But of course it's not about guys. Right? And I'm not saying that - I'm just saying, don't worry about THAT. No one is gonna be upset with it.

But as for what is really the issue, that is, how it affects YOU, as YOU... I suggest getting Jean-Paul Sartre's 'Existentialism is a Humanism' - in it he talks about how you have to accept your own ugliness. Sartre was an ugly mother f***er. Like... Look; link . I think he's cute, personally, really, but... He's no Adonis, right? But, he writes about accepting your ugliness. And he did very well, for being so ugly. First of all, he was the life-long lover of one of the sexiest women of the 20th Century, Simone de Beauvoir; link link - and, as well as that, he was a womaniser. He slept with Simone's students (with her), girls he picked up at bars, even French Duchesses. Prolific with women. Moreso than me, who is also ugly like Sartre and an Existentialist. Aside from that, he liked his looks. He enjoyed his ugliness.

If that doesn't satisfy you, idk... Try and get away from idealist thinking. Existentialism is good for that too - Existentialism is a good world-view in general, perfect for self-acceptance (the ultimate treatise on self-acceptance is Albert Camus' The Myth of Sisyphus), just stay away from Kierkegaard I guess if you want something at least happy. Kierkegaard was an unhappy dude. Or, you could look at Gnosticism; the most defining thing about Gnosticism is that the whole Universe is imperfect. God is imperfect! There is no perfection! Everything is shattered and coarse. And so it only befits that, of your perfect body, your flesh is shattered and coarse. Like Nuit, beautiful mother Nuit, your voluptuousness reflects that great tragedy of every-day, and is cut by star-crossed crevices and fishers for Amon Ra to dance on.

Whatever, man - find something to feel good about yourself to. I like to think of myself as part of the critical scene of 30s Paris - Sartre, Simone, Lacan, Picasso, Brassai, Camus, so on... You should find some image to belong to that makes you feel good.

As for YAKUZA STYLE FULL BODY TATTOO, that's a hell of a f***ing commitment. And that's dangerous as hell man, getting a terrorist tattoo. Like you can get tattoos if it'll make you feel better but, jesus. Pick 'em careful, you know.

for me personally it is the body shape and how well a girl takes care of herself that attracts/keeps me. I don't care at all about the stretch marks. that's something you can't help. could be your body developed faster than your skin was able to adapt or something like that. who cares. my girl is in amazing shape and has them on her breasts, legs, and butt. but but you couldn't pay me enough to be with somebody else. she is sexiest girl in the world to me. in fact I can't wait til she gets home from work now that I think about it haha...

but seriously you look like a gorgeous girl to me. TO ALL GIRLS: stay in the gym, eat right, (not just for your looks but for your health), eat enough, don't be afraid of protein and heavy workout, OWN the body your in, know that your beautiful, and be a good person. Do that and you will be smoking hot to the majority of guys on the planet! don't worry about stretch marks, freckles, moles, scars, being stick figure thin, keeping up with magazine images, too much makeup, and being a $h1TTY person in general. All these things mess with your head and eventually make you crazy and negatively effect your personality.

YOUR BEAUTIFUL!

Stop feeling self-conscious about that sh*t. If they don't look like this link , you're cool.

Your body looks great and I am sure guys don't mind stretch marks as long as the girl is attractive.

[ElijahCynicism]

Even if they do look like that, though. Go all in man. Balls to the walls. No compromise. Take a hard line.

Lmao!

[AlexLuvsCuddles]

I have some too that I'm self conscious about :( none of the guys I've been with have seemed to mind though, at least that gives me some hope for the future :)

[why-makoto-kun]

Girl, you look amazing. Guys don't care about stretch marks. You're body is perfect, so show it off :)

[Yos36]

F8ck the other dude is right ^_^ your body shape is perfect: and yes get the full body tattoo, and I'm not sure about it but try to use light and colorful paint on the less scared parts, I my self have 60 of them, they are in different sizes, not full body...

[Arics]

Go ask your doctor for a prescription for 0.1% Tretinoin cream. That and laser treatment are the only thing that has any evidence of improving visibility of stretch marks. However, laser treatment is extremely expensive, the cream is not. That or just get used to them.

[myspacemybroke]

Ya know what, believe it or not I really don't give a damn. You have a f***ing glorious body, and personally the stretch marks do nothing to take away from it. Plenty of people have stretch marks, and most of them aren't nearly as smokin as you are to begin with. So don't worry about it.

[yaddayaddayadda02]

I seriously doubt the stretch marks are as bad as you perceive them. The problem is in your head, and your head alone.

when you realize this, and learn to overcome it, you'll do much better in life.

I'd rather have a hot chick with some natural stretch marks than some chick with ridiculous tattoos all over herself.

[Konnour]

Stretch marks are nothing, trust me.. they're irrelevant, nobody cares about them!

Acne is worse, excess fat is worse, lack of fat is worse, even dandruffs are worse, any kind of hair problems are worse, unwanted body hair are worse, cellulite is worse, the list goes on and on..

Stretch marks? Pfff! They don't even look bad! They actually remind of some sort of tattoos!

[kheserthorpe]

What's wrong with stripes? Tigers look good.

If your body shape is good, you're hot. Period.
