    So true!
    We all have imperfections. And we love each other inspite of them.

    As long as she doesnt have stretch marks on her va-jay jay, I could care less....


    HAHAHAHAHA!

    I'm so glad to see men for the most part don't care. I used to be very insecure about them when I grew big boobs fast as a yungin. I still hate having stretch marks but have never had any complaints. The bewbs still serve their purpose. My old man has them on his gut and back and I had a skinny boyfriend who had them and I never thought twice about them.

    ^^^^^^

    Not very many guys get a woman naked and then think "hmm, look at that stretch mark, and oooh she has little love handles, gross"

    They think "NAKED LADY!!!!"

    Or if they're lucky, "naked ladies"

    Why is this just for men? Lots of ladies like to see other ladies naked.

    Oh come on, quit being a debbie downer.

    Like any of us are perfect? I've been married to the same woman for 10 years on February 15th. Those stretch marks are a road map of our life together.

    They are a testament that she bore my children and has lived with me.

    They are yet another reason to love my wife.

    Love this!!!

    TOTALLY THIS! for shizzle! .. the only thing I would say is DON'T MENTION IT OR MAKE A BIG DEAL ABOUT IT. The guy isn't thinking about it .. so when you act all bashfull about it, and say something like "I'm embarrased for you to see my stomach", It just makes the whole situation like 100 times worse. Just be confident ... and never hesitate. We know our junk isn't the most attractive thing in the world, it often looks like unused elbow skin that god used to make our twig and berries. We don't say, " you can taste just not look"... just saying!

    Wouldn't bother me at all. They're like a road map of someone's life. Baby stretch marks - they wanted to give life, weight loss stretch marks - they wanted to improve their fitness and body. In both cases they're just a side affect of positive things.

    Wrinkles are exactly the same. Laugh lines show a sense of humor, crows feet show stress in difficult times. All these things add up to what makes that person someone you wanted to be with.

    Love this! Makes me feel a little better about my battle scars of life :)

    Really? I've been staring at my elbows trying to figure out the similarities. Maybe I just have abnormal elbows, but I just don't see it.

    Of all the things in this life I am worried about, stretch marks aren't very high up the list - not on me, and especially not on anyone else.

    It's not a problem for me. A lot of women have them from having children. I have some myself, but it's no big deal. It's all part of the package......
    I'm more concerned about the person inside, rather than the person on the outside! :bigsmile:

    As women of any shape, size, or whatever in between the one thing we need to learn is we beat ourselves up over this - men are just REALLY happy you are naked and they get to be there for it :wink:

    Stretch marks aren't always because a small person got big or a big person got small, some people, I think, are just prone. I first got them when I was 12 or 13..on my hips, thighs and calves. CALVES. Seriously. I didn't grow..I was probably just under 5'0 then, and I'm only 5'2 now on a good day. I was a competitive athlete and weighed around 100 lbs. I've always dreaded pregnancy because if I got them when I was skinny, I will DEFINITELY get them with a baby inside my belly. Luckily my boyfriend is awesome and I don't think he'd care one bit. He's never said anything bad (most of mine have faded, but I got some new ones due to the 20lb weight gain after meeting him)...but one time he did notice and was like "what happened??? it looks like you have a scratch??" I'll take oblivious over judgemental any day haha.

    My husband is wonderful, but he definitely doesn't like my stretch marks. He can ignore them "in the moment" but he has definitely expressed, if not disgust, then definite "I hope you're going to cover those things up" sentiments more than once.
    He's not really shallow in general, but he is with that. Either mine are worse than I thought or they really are repulsive.

    I will not disparage your husband, b/c that isn't right. But I will say that you are a smokin' hot babe and from what I have read from you also a lovely person. After all your hard work I'm sorry you have to hear that at home.

    Since Kaschnat just mentioned it, I wonder if my hubby would be less concerned about mine if he WAS the cause of them. Since I had my son (which is where most of them came from) before I met him, maybe that's why they bother him so much?
    I don't know.

    Well sheet. I'm not going to say anything belittling your hubby as the last poster had mentioned. However, if he had any sort of resentment for the way your body looks because of having a child previous to him being in your life, that wouldn't be fair, would it? If he came into your life in acceptance of you and your son being part of the full-meal deal, then I would think that the stretch marks would be part of the package as well. Like a lot of people have mentioned, stretch marks and having children go hand-in-hand. Heck, people have them without having had children - I got them when I was going through puberty. No one's perfect - I'm sure in the heat of the moment, no one really looks like a perfect spring chicken - the messy hair, the sweat, the weird body positions, the stupid "O" face. With all that you've accomplished in your journey so far, I would hope that your hubby will one day be more supportive in emphasizing on how sexy it is to see you healthy, happy, working hard and enjoying those screwed up stupid "O" faces even more than before - stretch marks and all! All us MILFs unite!

    Ive had them since i was about 13, and they got more widespread as i gained the weight. Im now almost at goal, and ofc they are still here. I used to only wear long sleeved t shirts to cover them, never ever wear shorts, etc...

    ...but as im looking better, im starting to feel less concerned about them. Seeing that some of the ripped guys here have them has also been a big boost to my attitude.

    Thank you guys for all being so honest. :)

    They don't bother me a bit. Then again, I've had them since I was 11 and growing. Makes me wonder if I would feel differently if I would have never had them.....I guess the same way I wonder if I would be more into small things with the way people look if I hadn't have been heavy at one point in time. Anyway I don't want to look at it that way, I like to think I'm the same person no matter how things had turned out.

    I'm glad I came across this because I am terribly self conscious about mine. I started getting them before I even gained weight, unfortunately.

    as a guy I have them. I am not so vain as a woman's stretch marks would ever make me think any less of her, or for that matter I really dont care. Unless she is a porn star then I think she has to be perfect without stretchmarks. lol

    Great post! I never had stretch marks growing up and didnt get em too bad with my first two kids. My third was a whole different story though. I used to wear maternity shorts and my husband mentioned that I was getting stretch marks on the back of my knees. I never even thought that would be a place to look! We were driving home at the time so when we got home, I ran in the house and looked in the mirror. Sure enough, stretch marks! I was already feeling so fat and ugly, I started crying. lol. My husband comes in the room and says whats the matter? You're crying about your stretch marks?
    He then sits me down and lectures me on how they are battle scars from our two beautiful children and one more to come and how much he loves them because thats all he thinks about when he sees them. After this "lecture" he bends down and kisses my stretchmarks. It was one of the best feelings ever to know that he still finds me attractive and maybe more so regardless of the marks.
