I had my first child at 16 and have had stretch marks ever since. I am now 41 but keep in good shape and have never had a man say anything about them except its a beautiful part of me. I think men are more accepting than women... accept your body as it is.. beautiful... :wink:

How about the reverse?

First: I don't think men mind stretch marks in most cases and yours sound pretty normal. I wouldn't give them a second thought.
I have question. Do women mind stretch marks on men? I ask becasue I am a man very prone to them. I have them on my upper arms, chest, shoulders, stomach, inner and outher thighs, butt and calves. I got some from working out and some from gaining weight which I have now lost. The three women I've been with sexually since I developed them have had major problems with them - "I don't like to touch you.", "I don't know what they are but they are horrible." and, my favorite, "I always have to picture someone else when we are together." As a result I have been extremely depressed about them, even went on antidepressants. Been single for 6 years but recently I got involved with a girl I like and let her see them. I figured little older now, more mature women, etc. "You're gross." she said. Friends who I have no potential to date have tried to tell me that I've just met the wrong women and that I am attractive. Of course they don't have to back this up. I want some honest input - good or bad. Any help?

KALE........I agree with QTKate 100% - find the right woman and it wont make the slightist difference. My boyfriend has stretchmarks around his waist and lower back, we both know they're there but its never been an issue, i garentee when your with the right woman, or even a half decent one till you find a good one it wont even be an issue. Its nice to know that its not only women who worry about strechmatks though, chin up !x

Im 25 and had a baby 2 1/2 years ago and am expecting another one in May, iv been so down since my first as it left me with servere stretchmarks from my armpits all the way down to my calves, in some places they really are horrific but iv been with my BF for 10 years now so hes seen me in a few dirrerent states but he swears blind they dont bother him in the slightest, its really lovely to know but they still get me down, you do look at them completely differently to anyone else when they're on your own body

Hiya,

I'm new here so forgive me if I muck this up...

IMHO if you love someone & one day they came home with a bruise or a scar would you dump them? Or be less attracted? Of course not...

Let me say - as a guy - that STRETCH MARKS MEAN NOTHING!

I dated a lovely woman that had scars all over her tummy - I mean so many that she couldn't bare showing them - even in bed! She was so scared that she let them re-define who she was...

It's all nonsense. I kissed them non stop for over an hour... I really enjoyed it. Why? Coz it was her - beauty is only skin deep! It's what's inside that counts! In a way even stretch marks are beautiful!

Ladies - if we are with you because we love you - then nothing on this earth changes that. No make-up, loosing a leg, stretch marks NOTHING!

Honestly, don't let TV ads. magazines or anything tell you different! They want your money...!

So, to summarize; I agree too that you can put that one out of your mind immediately!

xx

to answer the original poster

Im a 22 yr old guy and know exactly where you are coming from. I was around 5'10 and 140lbs just before I turned 18. Soon after, I blew up to 180lbs. The sudden weight gain caused stretch marks around my groin, on my buttocks and some on my legs (but cant see unless you really looked). The first two spots are what made me insecure about my body. I'm like totally nervous about getting naked in front of someone for the first time, especially if the girl is gorgeous and doesnt have them. I know myself don't care if a girl has them, so long as if her entire body isn't covered with them. That's usually on obese women though.

But, even though people say "if hes too shallow to see past them, then dump him", and while this is true, its not the point. The point is feeling so vulnerable in the first place, and wondering if it's worth it. None of the women I have been with minded them, but still it takes all I can to strip in front of a girl. Especially when I have stretch marks near Mr. Happy

I heard coconut oil helps alot with covering them up. I intend to buy some asap for myself.

I used to be a bit paranoid too but I soon learned to actually quite like them, they're part of me and I'm stuck with them so I thought I might as well get on with them :) My bf has some too so we're even, lol! x

turn off the lights

Postby Sadie » Tue Mar 01, 2005 1:10 am

hey dont worry about it. most girls have stretch marks and im sure he wont notice or care. a lot of girls have them and its something that u cant really help and if it bothers him then he probably doesnt want to be intimate with you cuz he likes you its probably just cuz he wants to get in your pants. but if u are still upset about it i would maybe just have the lights off then he wont be able to tell. :D
hope this helps

Hey, look those women had no right to be so nasty to you. I am sure they were not perfect themselves. After all no-one is but some people continuously seem to forget that. :roll: I would love to see all these superficial idiots years from now when they are old and wrinkly. How will they deal with that??? Or, how will they cope if they all of a sudden get stretch marks themselves??? Hey, better still....they probably already have them! Because, most women do and if the don't they may well do in the future. People change as life progresses, I don't know how shallow people like that will cope. Those people are moronic and ugly on the inside. They did not deserve you!!! People are worth so much more than to be treated like that. I often wonder how some can be nasty to others.

Yet they would be offended if the same things were directed at them or their family members. I believe you should treat everyone as you want to be treated yourself and as you would like those close to you to be treated. When I find the right man. I will not be looking for Mr perfect because its unrealistic and boring anyway and because I am not perfect myself. Why would someone want to spend their life with some ass-hole with their head up their own butt??? Seriously!!! Most people say I am very attractive but I have my flaws just like everyone else. They are part of what makes me who I am and unique. I have stretch marks and it has never seemed to stop men liking me. If it ever did stop one liking me, I would thank my lucky stars because id see it as gods way of directing a bad, immature, shallow loser away from me.

I have so many good points, I have a nice smile, nice eyes, pretty face and a nice figure but most importantly I have a big heart. if some man would be put of all of those good things . By a stretch mark. He is not a man and I think it would say much more about him. Than it does about me... it says he is less of a man. Same goes with women who treated you in such a unfair way. Real men who are not bordering on being homos should not mind stretch marks.

Real women, good women wont care if you have them because they will have enough brains to know that no one is perfect. You obviously have not met any yet but you were just unlucky with those you did meet. If someone got scratched by their cat and had a huge scratch on their arm. Would it put you off??? Would you see them as any less of a human for it? Humans and people with hearts can see someone for who they really are and love people flaws and all. Cold hearted insecure people will pick out your flaws to deflect the attention from their own.

Hurt people will HURT PEOPLE!!!! They probably had someone criticize them about something similar and that is no good excuse for how they treated you but I believe people only focus on others flaws. If they are worried about or want to feel better about their own. The flaws we see in others are no more than those we see in ourselves. If you were not picking out those women's flaws and pointing them out to them lol! Then it was not retaliation and they had no reason to feel like they had to do it to you. If they were just critical for the sake of it. They were not very nice people and they will probably end up very lonely people too. Don't let your past experiences effect your present ones. There is better out there!!!!!!!!
