Do scars turn you off? I have a couple of small but raised scars from knee & shoulder surgeries. I scar that bothers me most is low scar about 4 inches long that is from emergency surgery from when I was 18. You can see it unless I am naked it is between my tan lines under my bikini. So what is your opinion?

I think you need to show us a pic of this scar! LOL
and no, scars are in no way a turn off if you ask me.0 -
Pretty sure I don't care about scars0

We all have them. It gives us character.0

Well go ahead and send me a naked photo so I can see the scars and I will let you know...0

Dont worry abotu it when i guy wants you he doesnt care about your flaws he sees other things. and it goes both ways.0
-
Nope, scars do not bother me. It does not matter where they are.
Now if you want to include me on your mailing list of verifiers, I would be happy to apply this opinion!0 -
I would submit that you shouldn't be concerned about a guy that is concerned about your scars.0

If our imperfections 'Bother' someone else, then they are not worth our time.0

Scars are sooooo nasty, they totally turn me off. I only like perfect women. J/K :-) You are who you are, we are all scared, some just more noticeable. Confident women are the biggest turn on, confident no matter what size shape or flaws there body has or is.0

Everyone has some kind of scar. I wouldn't worry about it.0

I've got two scars on my knee. One that's pretty faded now from falling off my bicycle when I was a kid and another one from about 5 months ago from a motorbike accident. It's not really bad, a couple of inches long but it was pretty wide split so I should have gone to get stitches. I was living in Thailand at the time and was still in shock and just kept saying no to the hospital, regret that now as I have a very raised and noticable scar on my knee. It's very very pink and raised and to be honest, I'm quite conscious of it. I was a bit embarrassed about my boyfriend (well now ex boyfriend) seeing it, though he knew about it but after he did, have no idea why I was so bothered my it. He didn't care in the slightest bit, the first time it was actually visable I think he was a little preoccupied to notice! And it would be the same with any guy I'm sure. I remember actually lying on his bed once and he asked me about it and asked to see it, said it wasn't that bad and would fade and then showed me his scars and we sat there comparing scars and then tattoos. To be honest, I really think that scars are only an issue for the person that has them, no-one else really cares. Yes if you have very bad disfiguring scars on your face then people notice and there's a shock factor, but nothing you have will be that bad. Any guy will like you for you and won't care about your scars. And they certain won't be turned off by them when they'll be too busy being turned on by you in general!0

Thanks everyone. I guess I feel like I look like Frankenstein w/ all my scars. lol0

Believe it or not, guys don't look at the same things girls do with their bodies. The scars don't take away from anything. In fact they likely add to your beauty. This is how guys work:
We know what a woman's body looks like. But that doesn't matter. With every woman we see, we wonder what she looks like naked. We don't always do this consciously either. The reason we want to see each woman naked, is because of the slight differences. In your case, the scars add to you as an individual. As you can see from most of the comments, the guys want to see your hidden scar.
I truly hope this helps you understand that you are uniquely beautiful as is each woman.0 -
I don't care about scars either.0

I have woe serious scars in the form of stretch marks. They're all nice and faded now. No one cares. I rock a bikini. I worked hard for what I have, and I know it!0

I have a 2 inch scar on my face, just above my eyebrow, and guys don't even notice 99.99% of the time. I have a ton of scars, I scar easily, I had a guy once say "what scars? you have scars?!" this is after he'd seen every inch of my skin. I don't think they notice.0
-
Your scars don't really sound too bad from what you describe and I wouldn't think men would care about them. I have a HUGE scar going down my entire spine from back surgery. THAT is embarrassing. I also have an appendectomy scar but that one doesn't bother me.0
-
An open oozing wound that's a turn off (or a medical emergency which is a turn on if you're an EMT). A surgical scar no way. If it bothers you alot you might want to talk with a counselor to resolve your own feelings about it. :bigsmile:0

Everyone has scars and battle wounds. I am no exception. If you don't mind my scar 14" scar on my chest from having open heart surgery, then I won't mind the itty bitty scar you have.
Bottom line, guys just don't care and when it comes to nakedness and women, scars are the last thing on our minds.0 -
I think scars make you more beautiful, because they give you character. and sometimes a story to tell also.0

I have. I have issues. Got the whole divorce thing going on. Plus when your hubby says to you they don't find you attractive you start to take a physical inventory.0 -
Don't listen to the ex.. he is trying to smash your self confidence.. get out there and have fun and enjoy life and be proud of who you are...0

I have 2 c-section scars. They are ugly, long and bumpy. But, they don't seem to bother anybody but me.
I have noticed many men don't notice the same things women notice. I know many man that cannot see cellulite even if you point it at them or squeeze your skin to show the bumps. Same things for stretch marks. Apparently noticing little things is a woman's prerogative.
Little OT, but yesterday I had to tell my husband to pick up the 4 pair of shoes and 3 backpacks he left in the living room for weeks. He reply that he didn't notice they were there (accumulating!!!). I believe he did not notice and it wasn't done on purpose. I know him. Same way, I don't think he would se a scar even if you circle it with a sharpie.0
