What do guys think about girls with stomach scars?

Long story short. I was cut up in the stomach, as a child. And it left me a vertical scar, which goes from the top of the navel to down right above the vagina. It isn't red or anything, but it's a long scar, and my navel is deformed (it looks almost like I don't have one😂😅) or its just really weird closed kind of. I was (still sometimes can be) really insecure about it in the beginning of my teens, but are started to accept it more kind of. Because I'm going to have it forever anyway. but I was wondering in a relationship, if I should tell a guy I have that scar, so he doesn't get "shocked" when it gets serious. The most reactions I get is pity and shocked reactions when people see my scar, and it's freaking annoying. It's like they have never seen a scar before? But on the other hand, I think it's ridiculous if I have to "mention it" to every single guy i will have in my life. Because the scar does not define me", and is it really that a big deal? I understand scars can look scary tho, and it's preferred to have a girlfriend with a nice skin.. So what do you think? I'm a pretty confident girl, and decent good looking (I have a lot of luck with guys ;)) I never slept with one yet (waiting for someone I really like), so that's why I'm unaware of this. I'm 18 by the way... a picture is linked so you can see the scar :) What do guys Think about stomach scars?

  • Not ideal, but not a big deal. I once dated a chick who had a feeding tube, because her throat was fucked up since birth and she had difficulty eating. So, she had this tube running out of her upper left abdomen. I didn't really think much of it. I don't think a scar would bother me, if that didn't. And that thing actually got in the way, unlike a scar. Besides, I've got plenty of scars, myself.

    Ahh, I also knew this one girl who would cut her own stomach as a method of self-harm, so she could hide it: like lower, lower abdomen. Ikr, strange place to self-harm. But, she was hella hot and a lot of guys knew and still wanted her. Awww Paigey. I had forgotten about her. Sweetest girl that ever existed. ... incidentally. Nostalgia. Yeah, I knew a lot of fucked up people.

    Really don't think 99.99% of guys would care. As for whether to tell them or not, I think it wouldn't really hurt either way. It might work out better to tell them. If you show a little insecurity, I think a lot of guys would see that as cute, too. Like, "aww she is worrying about nothing."

    Ideally, I think you could try to gear a conversation towards the topic of scars. Then just do show and tell. Confidentially, with this route. Like showing off, "my scar is bigger than your scar". This would prevent guys from building it up in their head and expecting some massive deformity. The few guys who would build it up might be nervous or whaybot until they see it's nothing.

    So, if you tell, I think it'd be best to show at the same time, to prevent imagination running wild. Probably better than them being surprised; but even then, I don't think most guys would be shocked.

    • Indeed it's not ideal at all. Haha. But tbh we all have something "imperfect" I guess. I understand where you are coming from, that a show/tell would be a good thing. But as I said in my post, I think it's kind of ridiculous if thats a "responsibility".

    • True, true. Oh, I wouldn't call it a "responsibility"; no, not at all. It's just a scar, not an STD.

    • Haha yes exactly

  • You look fine, don't worry.

    Have a look at this actress, Amanda Redman, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanda_Redman, she's really hot but she "is badly scarred on her upper left arm as a result of an accident when she was 15 months old. She was scalded with a pan of boiling turkey-and-vegetable soup and suffered burns to 75 per cent of her body. Her arm was the only part of her body permanently affected, but the trauma was so severe that she was pronounced clinically dead at the Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead, Sussex."

    She doesn't cover it up, and is a very successful actress.

    She starred in New Tricks, an excellent cop show with a different slant from the BBC.

  • I don't think any normal guy would even care about the scar, i don't see a guy noticing and then saying "welp I'm out" don't worry about it. If a guy is actually shallow enough to make a big deal about it, then you probably don't need a guy like that in your life anyway. I don't think you should even have to mention it, like you said, it doesn't define you.

  • I has a c section and you can't even see my scar, but you can sure the hell see my stretch marks. theirs no difference between scars and stretch marks get use to it because once you have kids.. you'll get way more scaring.

    • I'm not interested in kids (i know it's difficult to tell in such a young age), but i don't think just because you are a female it's expected. - Gotcha my mother has the same as you (c section and stretch marks). I was a brat lol, and didn't wanted to come out the normal way, so they did a cesarean.

    • see and if your mom has them you're more likely to get them the same way because of this lovley thing called generics.. lol it suckssssssssss. I'm not saying that you have to have kids because you're a woman. it's just something that comes with making life. I think you look great no worries girl.

  • You look good honey. However, who cares what men think? None who appreciates you will diminish you for a scar! Men are not the living perfection I dont get why we have to keep on asking them what they think on our bodies.

  • It looks fine :) I know the struggle of accepting your scars, I have some nasty ones on my back and side. At least you got nice cleavege to go with it :D

    • Haha thanks girl!

  • HAHA you don't need to tell him just hang out at the pool with him one day and wear a bikini. Have your towel around yourself and when he asks. tell hiim your self contous about it.

  • i don't understand why certain men would even notice it

  • I’ve never seen a scar like that it looks as if they took your navel out. But honestly it does not look bad, you have a nice tummy!

  • wouldn't matter to me. If the person really likes you he wouldn't have a problem with it.
    Just try to talk about it. For example , I was talking with 2 friends when the subject changed to scars and accidents.
    One of them told me a story about how she got a on her stomach and then showed it. The scar is there nothing can be done about it, the scar doesn't make her ugly, it's part of her and her story.

    • Indeed. I don't think a scar makes you ugly. That would just be an ignorant way to think. But as a young girl living in this society we live in. Where the media and fashion companies constantly set these high standards to men and women, it's hard sometimes to feel good enough. They never show models with scars, belly fat or skin problems? Because they want us to show "the perfect woman or man". So you can get that imagination that fx. scars won't be accepted. As i said in my post, i have gained more confidence about it. And probably the real real option is to not care. It's easier said than done tho!

    • You will care less about it if you meet more people who don't care about it. I'm a 21y old guy who's overweight. I've been bullied with it for years. Was really insecure about it. I met a people who I get along with, and they don't care about my weight. I keep meeting people who care and don't care. After a while you just stop caring about it yourself. (well in my case I still care about my weight but not about what people think about it) you'll probably never lose the fact that you care about it, but you will start feeling more comfortable about it.

    • I'm sorry to hear that. There will always be ignorant people.. I was teased for years, about being a mixed race. I can relate to you. Generally i don't care about peoples opinion about my scar. Because well.. it's just there nothing to do about that :) , but on the same time i do care. And probably will never 100% stop doing that.

  • I think self-harm scars are a huge turnoff, but scars you earned can be pretty hot. Your's i barely noticed. You personally, if you toned up more it would just diappear into your ab line because it's a symmetrical (mainly) scar, so if it REALLY bothers you, you could try going that route. I was with a woman one time who was shot three times in the stomach. Her scars were actually pretty hot.

    Bottom line: you have nothing to worry about

  • The title made me think of something horrible. This is more of a personal detail than anything else. Are people really bothered by it?

    • Hmm most people feel pity, or seem shocked over seeing it. Which i honestly do not understand why people react like that. I mean i don't care when i see other people have scars. - Well I got some nasty comments before from social losers, but it's not the majority.

  • scar what sacr? to me it doesn't bother me, its more like a war scar :P sexy

  • I would kiss your scar lovingly each night...

    • thats so cute xD

  • Scars gives you character, no need to explain how or why you got it. It's a scar, it's there and it's cool.
    If people have problem with it pffff , ignore them, simple as that.

  • As long as there are no ass scars..

    • What do you mean?

    • Um as long as she does not have any scars on her ass.

  • it doesn't look that bad.

    • You look great

    • Thanks:)

    • Your welcome

  • Hey I wouldn't worry about it. I dated a girl with a bigger one from a childhood accident. It was a big one right above her belly button. I just thought it made her even more special.

  • I don't know what kind of person you'd have to be to even care.

  • I don't worry about scars i love the girl for who she is and her personality means the most to me, her smiling makes me happy.

  • I dont care about them.

  • That is just another thing that makes you unique.

  • Looks like a path laid out to the next destination. Once you come down from meandering atop the two peaks.

    • i only got 7 words to say to you mostmenshouldstfu

    • And get to work, yeah? We do talk too much sometimes. So do you.

  • I don't like it. That is gross. I'd only put up with it, if I liked your personality and company.

    • Fair enough ;)

    • Dude you are shallow, its hardly noticable.

    • @Blitzkrieger I am honest. Most guys and girls simply won't say it. The world isn't like "Barney", the TV show.
