So, we know what men think of stretch marks on women.

How do women feel about stretch marks on men?

    Hm, I've never noticed any. I wonder if your more abundant body hair hides them?


    I must have missed when we established how men feel about stretch marks! Fill me in. I'm hoping to hear "hella sexy," because mine are here to stay. LOL

    They've only been noticeable on one man I've dates.

    They were like purple, different seeming than a woman's.


    But honestly, I don't care.

    Not sexy, that is why you need to fix what you can by building toning out those muscles.

    I don't care about stretch marks on a man. But I also missed the memo about what men think of women's stretch marks.

    Almost everyone has them. Growth up or out. I think though they are scars of a different kind of battle, proof that life is not easy and sighs we are only human. I don't mind them. I'd rather see stretchmarks than fat.

    But if those muscles have stretch marks...

    You're out on a first date with a guy. It's all going great, but as he reaches for ....something, you see some silvery stretch marks on his arm. Would you see him again?

    Can't say that I care, because I have them. And honestly, I don't think most guys care if women have them either.

    I have never seen strechmarks on any guy I dated, a couple friends/relatives that are heavily into body building have them on their chest and arms. They are faded and I don't feel anyone notices. I personally did not notice until they pointed them out

    usually men have strech marks going across at their hips and thighs and rear if you look closely from the big growth spurt as teenagers. some have them around their bicep area from bulking up. I dont really care about those. those are normal like prego stretch marks and the vertical marks women get from their hips widening. the ones i dont like are the ones we all get from just getting fat for no reason. i would never say anything to my hubby cuz i love him but i would be less tolerant of fat marks than marks from growing or prego marks. my fat marks make me feel sad and disappointed in myself. but again, no lover should ever say anything about your strech marks unless its when my hubby kisses mine and tells me they are marks of motherhood and he loves them as much as he loves the rest of me. awwwwww.....aint that sweet?

    Yeah i think most men dont really care either. if they do, they are shallow. its like saying moles are disscusting. or frekles.

    HMONSTERX, your stretch-mark obsession needs to stop. Don't worry about it. You are gonna look great either way.

    Personally, if I want to see him naked then stretch marks won't make a damn to me.

    I would hope the person who falls in love with my son loves him for himself and not his 'growth marks'. The husband does not have any. I on the other hand have a 'road map to motherhood'. I won't lie, I hate them and like cellulite I think they should be covered.

    My opinion.

    My hubby has stretchies and i could care less. I love him for him not for what he looks like. He is fit too. 5'7" and 165lbs, so he isnt flabby or anything. Stretch marks happen on some people mopre than others. No big deal.
