Honestly, NON ISSUE.

To be honest, interms of attractiveness, yea it would. Not to say I wouldnt get to know the person. Just saying I may have a hard time being attracted, given the situation

If they're comfortable with the skin, then I would be too. If it bothers them and they continue to make it an issue, it will be an issue. I can easily overlook superficial stuff like hanging skin, stretch marks, acne, scars, etc but it's hard to if the person keeps bringing it up or complains without ever trying to find a solution.

Having been someone who's lost over 100lbs, I'd be easily able to look past it, I'd like to think. I imagine many men may feel differently as they're much more "visual" than women are. I lost 120lbs about 14 yrs ago and had a tummy tuck afterwards b/c the skin bothered ME. I wanted to have that self confidence. But I was a lot younger then. I think now that I'm older and wiser (haha, debatable) I'd actually see that as a reminder of their strength and determination to get to the weight that the person is at today. It takes a huge amount of strength to loose that much weight so those that can do it should wear their extra skin proudly!!

I was with someone who lost 130lbs with lapband. A lot of saggy skin but didn't really bother me.

I'd look past the excess skin and be impressed that they lost 100lbs.

Although it's easy for me to say that as I have never been in that position but I like to think that I have more depth than that.

A persons appearance may be 'ugly' but the person may be the most beautiful you have seen. The same as a 'beautiful' person can be very ugly inside.

Usually, most people take a balanced approach to attraction, so it's wise to put forward your best on the front end.
Don't wear anything that exposes your negatives until you have had the opportunity to reveal your foremost attributes.

And at some point you can address this challenge the best you can. And usually we all end up equally yoked with other imperfect people who will need our forgiving nature for sparks to ignite.

And so goes the game of love

I would not make too much of it.

A previous partner did, from a fast weight loss, no problem for me, nor for them once they realised I wasn't bothered

I think that unless you meet them naked where they can see your saggy skin immediately, they probably will like you for you and be able to look past the saggy skin. I have skin pooches and my fiance knows it is there and just acknowledges that it is a part of my weight loss.

It does take a lot of strength. I love your answer...Whether its through surgery or otherwise. It doesnt matter to me one way or another. I would look at saggy skin as a definite sign of strength for sure. I have never even when I was thin been into that ripped look anyway. lol So....I would say shouldnt matter to some unfortunately it does. I wouldnt honestly care what people think. Really who gives a crap? You are the only one that matters. If it bothers you do something about it, if not don't. The right person when it is truly the right person isnt going to care...When they kiss you your lips arent going to be saggy and in making love the right area wont be either. LOL yes i did go there. Just be yourself.

When we fall in love, we fall in love with the person as they are. If we have issue with what they look like or their size, then we are really only falling in love with an expectation or fantasy. Which begs the question who has the real issue? We aren't all going to look like the touched up, airbrushed, folks we are force fed through media. Stretch marks, saggy skin, bald heads, south facing chests (men or women) are our badges of honor from our lives. My wife and I have lost 127 lbs between us so far (with 125 to go), so I guess we love us some saggy skin. :-)!

No issue... none whatsoever.

It shouldn't be a problem...................depends on the person and if they are genuine or not.

My husband really doesn't like my loose skin, but he likes the rest of me enough as it is now that he can mostly ignore the tummy area.
