Im just curious to know what the men out there think. What comes into mind when you see a woman with stretch marks. Esp on the tummy area? I have a child and Im working on losing my weight. I know my stretch marks wont ever go away. They do and dont bother me mostly because I see them as my stripes of honor for having my daughter.

    I haven't met a woman that would let me see hers. LOL My ex-wife didn't get any from our little guy, and been single since.

    Men who are somewhat mature realize this is life & we understand. Maybe BOYS would give a *kitten*, but men don't.

    I dunno, I once rolled some smarties down an ex's stretch marks before... she thought it was funny... but the again I have some as well so I guess I'm used to them?

    If you don't make a huge deal out of them, I won't. I will judge you poorly if you keep bringing them up and fretting about them, as I can't be with someone who isn't secure in their own skin. If you have them and accept them or say something like, "eh, I'm working to make them less noticeable but the damage is done," I'll respect you and admire you for being confident.

    Most guys are just happy to see you with your clothes off when the time comes. :wink:

    yep pretty much.. do what you can to fix them but dont stress over them, if a guy cant accept you because of them you dont need to be with him anyhow

    Can't remember the last time i actually noticed them on my wife...

    Yeah, seriously. I have yet to meet a guy that is preoccupied with stretch marks or other minor imperfections. When they're looking at all the HOT stuff you've got to show off, it makes all the not-so-hot stuff not as noticeable.

    LOL.

    Seriously, it doesn't bother me. It happens. If it's a deal breaker the guy isn't worth it anyway.

    I can't imagine caring what a man thought about mine! I have two incrdibly beautiful children who constantly bring joy and have allowed me to be the Greatest, ost wonderful thing in the world; a mommy!! I would think anyone who loves you would love EVERY single part of you, including those minor little stretch marks... I'm not sure if my husband even notoces mine LOL...He is even more attrated to me than he ever was...even before I had stretch marks! I LOVE my body!!! And that is why I am here working on improving it and making it healthier, but I'm doing it for ME - not a MAN. Just my 2 cents


    ***have to love all the missing letters in my post LOL - posting from my phone - blame Blackberry ;)

    i recently met a guy who LOVES stretch marks. specifically from a woman having a child. He thinks they're the sexiest thing ever, because it shows the sacrifices you've made to become a mother. he loves his kids more than anything, so that probably has something to do with it, but really, on any woman, he finds them a huge turn-on.

    and i think that's sexy!

    So awesome are some of the responses from the real men on this thread. Stretchmarks used to be an insecurity of mine. But now, I realize that's the last thing a man is really looking at when a woman is nude. Besides, here's a secret....they're not really stretchmarks. They're tiger stripes! Rawr!

    I don't have any children and have stretchmarks which is probably why I'm so insecure about them... But I'm glad to see that men don't care about them...at least the ones on MFP :)
