    No stretch marks does not matter on a guy.......Wait until he see mines....Probably has nothing compared to what I have lol
  • I've heard it often said... "stretch marks are battle scars"... I couldn't agree more... they are proof to the world of where you were and where you are now. So no, they don't matter.

    I wouldn't say anything because I have my share of them from having my daughter.

    They do not matter to me - cant beat the ones I have. Battle scars from battles won and battles being fought.

    nope, they don't matter to me...my husband has a few and I have many after 2 kids so it is just a part of life I am pretty sure everyone has them in some form, even before kids I had some from growth spurts as a teenager....If you are self conscious of yours, I know bio oil helps immensely on their appearance and I used it during and after both pregnancies :)

    I really don't mind them on someone else, I have them and I know it couldn't really be helped (I have weak skin and hit a growth spurt, upwards when I was 19 so before I put on weight I had stretch marks from that) I do really hate my own and have thought about laser removal when I get to my goal weight.

    Nope, doesn't bother me at all.
    My husband is very tall (6ft 7) and he grew very quickly in his teens. This has lead to horizontal stretch marks on his back. I love him, the stretch marks are part of him therefore I love them too.

    If I did mind I'd be a hypocrit, aside from fluctuating weight I have a genetic condition which causes weakness in all connective tissue in my body. Yup that includes the skin, so I am pre-disposed to having stretch marks no matter what. Throw in a couple of pregnancies and weigh which has fluctuated from under 5st to over 14st in the past 15 years and I am covered in marks!

    Pretty sure most people have them in one place or another. I've got better ones, I'm sure.

    who DOESN'T have stretch marks????
    stretch marks are like ex's, everyone has some.

    the older you get, you will find, stuff like that just doesn't matter.
  • Seriously doesn't matter..Shows how far you've come!

    Not at all, my boyfriend has been at points where he's gained a little weight, and had some stretch marks. I doubt he even notices them since they are only on his legs really. He's joining me to lose weight though!

    I am MORE curious to know how much they matter to you guys when WE have them. I have lost a lot of weight. I am getting pretty hot. But I am SERIOUSLY stressing about the stretchmarks on my upper belly that will never go away. I want real honesty here........

    Stretch marks- not going to be high on the list of things that matter.
    Scratch marks from your hobby of taming feral cats- Pass.

    Women get stretch marks from numerous things... and we would hope a guy would look past them. So it wouldnt and shouldnt be any different if the Man has stretch marks.

    Most people understand stretch marks and for women that have had kids we have no room to judge anyone else who has them. Either way if its weight, kids, or just nature its not a big deal. It is usually a bigger deal to you than anyone else. I know this is true for me at least.

    Maybe I'm shallow.. but I'll be honest and say I find them to be a turn off. Not attractive at all.
  • Definitely doesn't bother me. I had stretch marks develop during puberty, before I became overweight or pregnant or any of the things that typically cause them. I accept them as part of life, on myself and on anyone else.

    Doesn't matter. If anything it makes you more approachable knowing you are 'real' like the rest of us.

    I have this thing where I sort of like them... a lot of times guys get stretch marks from building muscle too. Some of the ... darker skinned :) athletes I've been with in the past have had them... and I am totally totally ok with it. I'm pretty sure they're not even that noticeable on white guys! haha
