Stretch marks are....

I don't really notice or care. But like most things I think we are most sensitive to the things we see as flaws in ourselves and others don't notice them as much as we think they do. I had bad acne as a teenager, and I'm sure that was noticeable then but I'm pretty sensitive about my skin because it has some flaws. Also for every person who says they don't care, there is someone out there who does. So don't worry about one person liking or disliking them.

Strange looking but I'd rather have them then all the cellulite I have on about 35% of my body.

I know I've asked this question before but today I happen to be struggling with my self image. Do guys care about stretch marks on a woman's body? I have them on my stomach, hips and some around my chest which all have faded tremendously but I still notice them. My boyfriend hasn't noticed them yet, but I'm afraid he'll be grossed out by them. I know that I have a great figure but do these little flaws subtract from my?

Stretch marks are beautiful in their own way. It tells more about a women's strength that her muscles.

I have them on my butt, chest, and belly. I've never met a man that cared about it one way or the other.

Haven't had a child nor been pregnant yet but I have a lot of stretch marks all over my body due to weight gain. I used to be bothered by them but later noticed it's just causing me to worry. I fell in love with myself 2 years ago and since then, have not worried about any part of my 185 pounds body.

There are certain things that bother me ..(cellulite, stretch marks, loose skin, muscle imbalances etc) but in the end I still rock what I've got. If your BF is grossed out, then that is his problem. I am sure you look awesome!

Stretch marks are...a part of life (for some people).

Learn to be comfortable with your body. If he judges you on superficial things, like stretch marks, he's not worth your time.

I broke out in stretch marks all over my body when I hit puberty, They went all the way around my middle, on my chest, on my shoulders, backs of my knees, tops of my arms. It was really alarming as they were dark purple but all of them eventually faded away to silvery lines. I was a bit wild in my youth and had no shortage of men in my life. Not one of them cared about the stretch marks, those that I asked had not even noticed until I pointed them out. In my experience by the time a man has you naked he is very happy and really is not studying your skin for scars. My ex husnband never even noticed them. My partner is a tall slim guy and he has some stretch marks across his back. I don't care about stretch marks on a partner. Anyone bothered by something like that is not worth being with anyway.

I have been underweight/ lower end normal my entire life. I got stretch marks at 15 when my boobs and hips came in over one summer. They have always been silvery. Ive known loads of guys with them too on their lower back or biceps. No biggie. Im more bothered by cellulite which is much much better since i cut out caffeine. (i drank alot - maybe 7-10 large mugs a day).

To quote Wayne Campbell: "I say puke. If you hurl and she comes back, she’s yours. If you blow chunks and she bolts, then it was never meant to be."

Seriously, though. I have had so many things "wrong" with my body over the years. Not one guy ever rejected me for them, or even seemed to notice. Turns out, most are pretty good types and the ones that aren't you shouldn't sleep with anyway.

Nope, does not matter. Besides true beauty comes from the inside.

Stretch marks have never bothered me. They are so common. Just not a big deal.

Nope. I've had some men love me pretty damn hard with all my stretch marks.

Giggity.

something most folks have. Whether it be on their butts, or on their bellies or on their breasts or wherever. I've had them on my butt since I was an underweight 16 year old teen girl.
