Don't care about cellulite or stretch marks and never have. As @TeacupsAndToning said, I'm usually more focused on other things anyways.
I can honestly say that I've been extremely attracted to my wife during every version of her: during her leanest days, heaviest days, when pregnant, during post-partum, with makeup, without makeup, in heels, or in flip flops. Honestly, I find that when she tries really hard to dress up it's more for her than for me, and I think that bothers my wife because I think she'd like me to jump out of my chair when I see her with her hair, makeup, etc. done.3 -

This is basically my husband too.
I get all dressed up and he just tells me I'm beautiful like he did when I rolled out of bed with old make up smeared everywhere and severe bed head. It's one of my favorite things about him... he truly finds me beautiful and attractive in my natural state. Best feeling ever.
I just have to be careful about whining about my appearance too much or he will go out and blow all our money on random flowers to make me feel better.3 -

I couldn't give a monkeys about some cellulite. If I'm being honest it actually turns me on because it's usually accompanied with some jiggle. Being an *kitten*/thighs man it's all about softness.
Too many women scrutinise themselves unfairly. Chase perfection and you'll end up living a wasted life. Love yourz.3 -

But what can you do about cellulite anyways? I have a terrible time of doing of accepting my thighs, but things could be a lot worse! Back in the day, when I was very pregnant and out for a walk, a couple passer-bys, looked right at me and my big belly and said "that's just ugly." That was confusing. Shortly thereafter Demi Moore, very naked and very pregnant was beautifully portrayed on the front page of a well known magazine. That was so cool!2

I hate giving actual advice, but for god's sake if there is a woman out there who is reading this and is actually worried about cellulite -
if he's not interested in you because of your cellulite, you've avoided an ashhat.WreckedButWhole wrote: »I think I speak for all men when I say they really do hate cellulite.

Meh. Everybody says that. What if men never spoke to you or looked at you ever again? Imagine that for a few minutes.
LOL. My life would go on...

I agree wholeheartedly. I've been scrutinized, look down upon, told to go workout so he wouldn't have to check out other women, told that i look like *kitten*, etc. etc. I've had enough of what a man would ever think about me. I'm happy with what I see in the mirror and that's all that counts.1 -
Cellulite on a attractive not obese women?! Omg so unheard of!!! *eye roll *1

He's discovered the dangerously sleep deprived version of me sobbing at 3 a.m. because the baby won't sleep and I haven't slept in years. He's watched me sliced open on the operating table and seen the wounds heal and become scars.
I'm pretty sure a bit of cellulite is the least of his worries or cares.
This!! All of this!!

If I like a girl and think she is cute, I couldn't possibly care less about her cellulite. I also think most men don't care. If you have a guy who tells you oh babe you should work out, lose some weight etc. Well good luck with him2

Once we fell love with her or him the cellulite is not an important.1

I believe cellulite has absolutely nothing to do with a woman's attractiveness or lack there of.2

If you care about someone or find them attractive, cellulite doesn't matter. I don't want to be with someone with a perfect face or perfect body...I would rather be with someone real...1

Nobody has perfect face and body. We all have scars, stretch marks, cellulite etc, especially if we are older than 20yo.2 -

Something like that should not be an issue... That is like not liking a good man just because he has a questionable hairline, or hair at all due to baldness... It's all trivial and vain.
So it should not matter.1 -
We need to stop the cellulite shame. Cellulite, like breasts, full hips, thighs, and rear, are a secondary sexual characteristic of women. IT IS NOT A FLAW. It is a feature of being female. You can look it up. Our culture is messed up. Even women with relatively low BMI's usually have cellulite, because it is HOW WOMEN'S BODIES STORE FAT. It's how they're supposed to be. In times before now this used to be embraced. While we shouldn't embrace obesity, we should embrace things that are perfectly normal and natural parts of the human female body. Shaming a woman for having cellulite at a healthy weight is like shaming her for having breasts. Literally. Excessive cellulite is just excessive fat usually, but again, it's just how the female body works, and the amount of shame and emphasis placed on getting rid of it are ABSURD. Google it. You can be a woman, spend your life INCREDIBLY fit at all times, at a body fat of around 21% (about as low as you wanna be as a woman, unless you wanna mess with your reproductive stuff or you're a professional athlete), and still have cellulite.
Another way of looking at this is, it's about as reasonable to ask a woman to "fix" her cellulite at a healthy weight, as it is to ask a guy to "fix" his ugly *kitten*. It might not appeal to everyone's aesthetics, but nobody should ask you to mess with it because they're all hairy, asymmetrical, and wrinkly. Just a natural body part.
PS- Sorry for the rant, I just always need to chime in with this. This is an under-known fact about cellulite. Men shouldn't hate it, if they do, they're kind of shallow dirtbags, and women shouldn't hate it, and only have been taught to by people who are mis-educated. It is not a bad thing. It is normal.6
