Stretch marks

[Deleted]

My ex gf used to be heavily overweight at some point on her life before we met and caused her to have a lot of stretch marks on her body. She was a bit embarrassed about it but I didn't really care.
Would you find it a turn off or even a deal breaker if your guy or girl had any?



I know they do sometimes fade but not all people are that lucky.

Opinions?

i've got a lot of them from gaining 30 lbs over the course of a summer after coming off some medication that killed my appetite

they're pretty disgusting

thankfully mine aren't as bad as those pictured hah

If my partner, male or female, has stretch marks, so be it. Not a turn on or turn off. Except on boobs. For some reason, light stretch marks on boobs look good to me.

I would really hope no one is shallow enough to consider stretch marks a deal breaker. Pretty sure just about everyone has them somewhere.

[announced]

it all depends whether we get along well enough and how visible they are. idk but i feel like its on a case by case basis.

I can't see how that sort of stuff would bother me in the least.

I actually love what I call tiger stripes on a woman, they get them from having kids. They are earned and should be admired. They always sexually excite me.

if you've got em so what , I do too. I like to pretend they're lightning bolts coming out of my armpits. they feel kind of neat too.

Stretch marks are fine, they've never bothered me. Skin bags, the kind people get after losing a monstrous amount of weight, are a HUGE turn off.

I personally find stretch marks to be gross. I mean, that's a part of your body that expanded so much and so fast that you skin ALMOST RIPPED. That's what stretch marks are - torn skin. It causes extreme scarification, and is NOT easy to get rid of. I've heard of everything from coconut oil treatments to surgery to get rid of them, but no one treatment works for everybody. Keeping the skin moistened when you think it's going to stretch will largely keep your skin from stretching improperly, so you can prevent them, but getting rid of them is nearly impossible.

That being said, I don't really care. I don't do fat chicks, so I don't think I'd ever have an issue with it. I myself have some on my arms and inner thighs from when I was a fat ass, so I know what it's like living with them.

Natures way of making some people look like tigers grawrrrr. Anybody shaming anybody else or judging is an ass. Nobody dies pretty.

They don't bother me in the slightest. I have them from going through a growth spurt when I was younger and also from gaining weight.

[Mormolyce]

They're pretty common and not a big deal unless they're massive and unsightly for some reason. I guess. The ones I've seen have all been non-issues.

One of my male friends has them and he's never been fat in the slightest. I guess some skin isn't as stretchy as others.

I do think they look a bit worse on white people than on darker skinned people and blacks.

Sometimes they get all red ;/

My girlfriend has them, and I don't mind. She does, but I always tell her she should see them as 'Marks of Accomplishment'. She did carry Twins for 38 weeks.

They are a badge of honor, i really wish more women would view them that way. I'm so glad I'm not hung up on looks like i was as a teenager.

I have psoriasis, so I have no room to talk. But, I tend to look for people who have clear skin. I think it has to do with a theoretical situation, (I will never have kids) where I don't want my kids to feel as self conscious as I do.

[derpkitteh]

i have stretch marks on my butt, but they've faded out quite a bit. still noticeable, and i used to be pretty embarrassed over them. however, watching porn actually eradicated my self consciousness over it. pretty much every girl in porn has them, so i assume they're pretty normal.

I don't understand why people who don't like Stretch marks and set them as a deal breaker are characterized as shallow...
That being said I don't find them to be one and most of the time I dont mind them but for example, a deal breaker for me is an overweight woman. I really want to make and force myself look at some women the other way but I just cant cause it does not attract me no matter what I do
I m not mean to any womanand I dont go around claiming I m the most handsome guy ever but I would never date a fat woman for example.
What if this is the case for some people regarding stretch marks? In their eyes they might be completely unattractive and a huge turn off and they might not be able to do anything to change how they feel.
You have to be comfortable with your partner in a relationship after all. If you dread the moment that you ll see em naked that isnt going to work..

I still have a few left from losing a lot of weight years ago. I call them my battle scars.

[Hexian]

They are completely normal. Anybody who says otherwise has either too much talent with photoshop or is just a moron.
